Chicago's most entertaining magic show. Fun, intimate, sometimes outrageous, and always hilarious. Plus BYOB.
Reviewed By Balanger - Chicago, United States
When in you life have you seen live magic less than 5 feet from you? This up close and magical show is both funny, clever and vastly entertaining. Set in a cozy, 24 seat living room styled theater I was delighted by the skill of Aaron (the magician) and surprised by the sheer comedic timing. You cannot go wrong with this intimate entertainment site. There is alot of magic happening in Chicago these days but this is completely different than the other magical shows in the city!

BMG is a unique show, one that everyone should try to experience at least once. Kids 6 or 7 enjoy it, and the 90-year old next to me laughed so hard he was almost crying. The performers convey an impressive span of emotion via movement and eyes -- nothing is verbalized. We've seen BMG three times, but the last time was maybe 15 years ago -- quite a while back. The basics of the show remain the same, but even if all the material isn't completely fresh it's still impressive. The reviews that complain about the show scaling back a bit from the past (a slightly less-impressive finale, a little less action) may technically be correct, but we enjoyed the show as much now as the first time we saw it. Highly recommended.

I have seen this show multiple times. It is always fun, especially for teens. The show is a combo pep rally, comedy act, drum show and concert. Hard to describe but always a blast. When I have relatives visiting from out of town, this is a sure fire way for them to have a good time.

There was one line to purchase tickets and one line to enter, took us a bit to figure that out. Two drink minimum. We had a blast! Went for the 10pm show, the comedians were hilarious, especially Calvin Evans, even the emcee (Carla, maybe) was amazing.Seriously, good comedy. We look forward to going again.
