The food was great and the entertainment was fun. It was very interesting trying to figure out how…read morethe magicians did their magic tricks.

I had always wanted to try this, and now am (mostly) glad I did! We prepaid a booking for two, a…read moreweek ahead of time (approx $90/ticket including ~$8 fee for each). Then the venue suddenly changed from Dante's Fire (Grant/Tucson Blvd) to the Viscount Suites (Brdwy/Swan-ish). Location wasn't problematic but part of the appeal (and brightly underscored in their advertising) was the gourmet meal at the behest of Iron Chef Ken Foy. The circumstances for the abrupt change had absolutely Nothing to do with Magic Dinner Theater (MDT). Rather, Dante's themselves had the rug pulled out by their building's owner when they announced sudden closure of the premises for remodeling leaving both MDT and Dante's without a venue. MDT did a remarkable job (as explained by the boss and MC, Ross H.) finding a replacement venue and relocating all of their equipment in a matter of one week. Suffice to say, the dinner was a bummer, at merely cafeteria quality (green beans, mashed potatoes and thin turkey slices with gravy). I didn't even bother photographing it. That said, the "theater" part of the MDT was a joy, with the entire event running from 6:30 - 10pm. There were six tables of 10 people each and it appeared that every table was sold out. With the exception of one table that had four kids, it also appeared as though everyone was "coupled." Starting (almost) promptly at 6:30p each table had a solo magician performing various (very impressive) card tricks right in front of you. After about 10-12 minutes the magicians would rotate. For nearly an hour you are literally blown away by the sleight of hand of each magician. Then there's a pause while "dinner" (ahem) is served which takes about an hour (salad; turkey; cannoli). Iced Tea is included but wine ($7) and well drinks (simple cocktails at $8) can be ordered from the wait staff at those super reasonable prices. During dinner is when the murder mystery takes place. Everyone is provided some clues and characters along with a police report and you have that dinner-hour to solve the mystery as a table. Three tables (including ours :) identified the character who committed the murder, the motive, and the lethal instrument (all three are required). One person gets designated as the table rep to collect a (inexpensive) gag/prize. The main event follows dinner and consists of another 45 minute show on the main stage by the featured/headliner magician. Throughout the show a handful of folks will be selected to help the headliner. All were female and none flatly refused. The magicians were all gracious whenever making you part of the public show and that is appropriate. After the show I asked how frequently the mystery changes and I was told there are 3-4 different plots so having gone to one doesn't foreclose another viewing down the road. The Viscount proved to be a valiant stand-in venue, save for the food. If the food doesn't/cannot elevate I would strongly urge Ross and Co to shrink the fanfare surrounding the food (and shrink the ticket fee) accordingly. Other than that, this was/is a really nice time.

I recently did a "play with clay" class with a girlfriend. It was hosted at the Dodge location in…read morean old bus. The bus is cool! FYI- the bus only holds two guests at a time. It's equipped with two wheels, countertops for the clay, and a small sink for washing. The class is described as an "opportunity to try the potter's wheel with one hour of instruction at our Dodge Studio. It includes 2 hours of Instructed Wheel time and we provide clay, aprons, and tools. You can do this as a fun experience or choose to save pots as a memento. ($5 per piece)." For some constructive feedback- the description or confirmation information should include some further details like recommended attire (which might not be super obvious to everyone), that the 2 hours you pay for also include time for you to clean the bus, like everything- the wheel, water vessels, tools, surfaces, etc. Clay can get messy and we were not aware of the clean up rules until the very end! Informing people in advance is not that hard. Just by including a tidbit about how the co-op operates, their water saving efforts, etc, would set everyone up for clear expectations. For the record, I absolutely agree that a co-op is only as functional as the folks who are partaking in it and I am all for being part of a the full process and respecting it. Neither of us had tried wheel throwing before and it's actually a lot to process and apply in a 2 hour period. Wheel throwing requires lot's of time and patience. Our instructor Eva, demonstrated for about an hour and touched on a bunch of different steps before handing over the wheels to us, and hanging for a bit to guide us through our first attempts. We felt an overall vibe of impatience from our instructor. Questions were met with a tone of "I already told you" or "it's posted on the wall." Another suggestion is to consider hanging some visuals at the front of the bus with the steps in the process. That way, when students are left independently, they can reference them as little reminders, because it's not easy to remember them all at once. We also we very unclear as to whether or not we were limited to the two clay pieces we started the class with, which turns out, we could have pulled more clay from the bag. Again, another opportunity for the co-op and instructors to prep their students/customers for a more seamless experience. How about prep 4 balls per person and see if they even use them all? The clay gets reused anyway. Leaving us there to wonder wasn't ideal. It took several weeks to hear back from them for a pick up notice on our items. We each fired/glazed one. I was prepared to not even get my item after so much time passed. There's room for improvement and it all comes down to information and communication. Would I do this class again? Maybe and perhaps try a different instructor. Overall, if you're looking to try something new and clay is on your mind, I think this is fun option. It was $120 for the class, plus $5 per item we fired and glazed, so not bad.

Beautiful creative space for people with skills. I on the other hand was a complete novice and had…read morezero clue how to do any of this. So I signed up for wheel throwing and hand building classes. These classes are very popular and they fill up quickly. 8 week classes where you come in once a week for 2 hours cost 155.00. You will also have to pay for clay and tools. The instructor was very knowledgeable, however, I feel like I could have learned more. Most of the students in my class had previous experience and did not need as much attention. I want to sign up for another class and maybe I will get much better at it. Overall this was a great experience!
