A Magical Hit in Austin<\/p>\n

Austin became the third U.S. location for Theater of Magic<\/a> when the experience opened at Fairmont Austin<\/a> in June. According to Wayne, it has quickly become the company’s most popular location.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve sold out every single weekend,\u201d Wayne said. \u201cIt was our third Theater of Magic in the United States, but it’s now our number one selling one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The success means the show is now sticking around, with performances scheduled every Saturday through the end of October.<\/p>\n

Magic Just Feet From Your Seat<\/p>\n

Theater of Magic<\/a> isn’t your typical large-scale illusion show. Instead, guests enter through a velvet curtain into the intimate Room 725 at Fairmont Austin, where just 60 audience members experience the performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a 60-seat room, and then you’ve got two of America’s best magicians,\u201d Wayne said. \u201cWe have a rotating cast every week performing just feet away from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lineup features magicians, mentalists and illusionists from across Texas and beyond. Wayne says audiences can expect plenty of mind reading, sleight of hand and audience participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally when you go to a magic show, a traditional one, you sit in the audience and watch,\u201d Wayne said. \u201cBut when you come to Theater of Magic at Fairmont Austin<\/a>, you should expect to be involved in some way and to see the magic this close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests can also choose a VIP experience featuring front-row seating and additional close-up magic performed right at their seats before the main show.<\/p>\n

A Little Magic in the “We Are Austin” Studio<\/p>\n

Wayne gave Trevor and Sierra a taste of the experience with a celebrity-themed mentalism trick.<\/p>\n

After Trevor secretly selected Elvis Presley from a deck filled with famous names, Wayne fired off a series of questions before cutting a sheet of paper into a surprise silhouette designed to resemble the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of interactive experience Wayne says makes Theater of Magic especially suited for a date night, family outing or memorable evening downtown.<\/p>\n
