Saw the Belmont Magic Show here on Sunday August 23, 2020 @8PM and it was a GREAT show! All summer I kept wanting to take my daughter and sadly kept forgetting; I'm soo happy I FINALLY had the chance to take her! It was a GREAT show and I HIGHLY recommend it as an AFFORDABLE & FUN family outing for kids of all ages! Literally your teenagers will also end up being amazed! Her father who literally thinks NOTHING is "cool" and ruins the fun in just about everything; he couldn't even explain Mr. Belmont's magic! Definitely 5 stars and a MUST SEE! We are definitely hoping they return to Wildwood again next summer! Tickets are I believe $15 but if you visit the local ice cream shop ((Wild Scoops)) along the strip of stores right next door to the show; you'll receive a $5 off coupon with your purchase if you mention your going to the show. Your also allowed to bring your ice cream into the show however they do sell popcorn, water & sno cones so I do recommend at least supporting their business in some way if your going to also bring in outside snacks. For instance, we brought in ice cream but we bought a popcorn & water from the stand as well. They also sell magic tricks but tbh don't waste your money, it is so old and will immediately end up in the trash. That's the one & only place I'd say they could do better. Finally, after an already GREAT show; the young assistants whom I assume are his daughter's; they come out and distribute a magicians hat or wand to each child in the audience and Mr. Belmont and his wife come out for pictures with the guests even during a pandemic when they could get away with not meeting with fans they still are kind enough to take the time out thanking & greeting any & all fans that decide to hang around after the show. As if it wasn't already a great show, as we were leaving the kind woman working the concessions stand came out with a bunch of extra Cotton Candy bags and distributed it to the remaining kids as they walked out! Many places just throw them out and they could have done the same but instead they put huge smiles on kids faces as they each walked away with 2-3 bags of cotton candy. Such small gestures yet such kind gestures that go a long way. All in all, it was a GREAT show and I HIGHLY recommend you take your family to see it if Wildwood is lucky enough to have them return! I wish they did more events like this! ????????????????

The Wildwood Boardwalk in New Jersey is miles of magic with 100s of rides and attractions. Free beaches and oceanfront waterparks.
Reviewed By richysk - Fort Collins, United States
Some reviews say Wildwood is going downhill. From someone who visited it regularly while I lived in New Jersey, I can state the reverse. During the 70s and 80s, the area had a poor reputation. Today, it is poised for families instead of gangs of teenagers. This is regardless of the T-Shirt shops and other shlock areas. They exist everywhere. You can even find them in Estes Park, CO. It certainly didn't stop the stores from being crowded during a pandemic weekend. What makes this area wonderful is the beach. It's so wide that you can stay six feet apart without an issue and still be close to the water. And that's cool to your feet when the rest of the area is warm and humid.
