What high quality entertainment! A presentation filled with laughter and awe from start to finish. Wish that I could give TEN stars! read more

If you are in Galena and you're looking for some astonishing feats, you need to duck into the alleyway and head over to see P. T. Murphy. We have seen the show numerous times and we love going for the entertainment factor he provides. I don't want to divulge any details on what takes place there, but there will be smiles on faces, amazing tricks, and humor. Oh, the humor :P Galena has a lot to offer that people don't experience in a single visit. This place should absolutely be on your agenda when you're out having a great time in Galena. Let P. T. Murphy know that Brian sent you. "Brian, with an i" read more

Brilliant magic! Fun was had by all. Small theater. Very unique - great entertainment. Highly recommend.

Such a fun night! A great to spend our Friday evening. It was a great show for all ages. PT Murphy makes it personal and exciting for everyone in the room. highly recommend, great for a trip or for a night out. read more

Best show ever. The magic is good but the magician is a riot. I LMAO for an hour. So funny. I will be back next time I am in Galena. read more

Second time I have seen his act and enjoyed both of them. He is personable and his tricks are great to watch and wonder.

This guy does an excellent show! High quality tricks, I could not see the sleight of hand, he is very very good. And funny! He also involves the audience. It is a small "theater " that seats only 24, very intimate. P.T. Murphy, he said he hails from Chicago, but I think he's been in Galena at least 20 yrs? He is a real showman. Didn't want anyone taking pics inside, so here is one at the entrance. A fun show lasting roughly 60 minutes. read more

P.T. Murphy Magic - His stage is small and the audience is small not a bad seat in the house! - Magicians Near Me - Galena, Illinois

Amazing show!! Excellent magic tricks and sleight of hand, but the real star of the show is P.T.'s showmanship and people skills. What a kind and hilarious guy! Adults and kids loved it. Highly recommend. read more

We went for my Mother in laws's 89 birthday and we couldn't have made a better choice! Patrick is a comedian who does really good magic, or a good magician who is really funny. Humanly funny, not canned glitzy jokes. The intimate setting makes it even better as the audience grows together under the guided hand of our magical leader. He makes jokes with us and about what's happening feeding off the audience participation; so don't just sit back daring the magician to amaze you-though amaze you he will. Have fun and be a part of the magic! It may seem expensive, but if you can afford it, it's well worth it. And while a kid could probably enjoy the tricks, it's really not a show for kids. Abracadabra! You're going to have a great evening! read more

P.T. Murphy Magic - Nana and Madison had a fantastic time! Thank you, Pat! - Magicians Near Me - Galena, Illinois

absolutely phenomenal. I have never been to a magic show but all I can tell you is that you will have a fantastic time. Do not hesitate it is worth every penny!!!! read more

We had the best time at this magic show with our kids! He had us laughing and impressed the entire show! Highly recommend!!

My wife and I found ourselves here on a weeknight to celebrate our anniversary as we were married in Galena nearly 20 years ago. We hadn't been in the area much over the last decade and were surprised to find that there was a quaint magic show right off of main street. On a Wednesday night?? and there were 4 tickets left! We snatched up 2 tickets and went over to the show a little nervous that we'd be sawed in half. PT was hilarious from the moment we walked in. Such a nice guy, so funny. The magic was effortlessly interwoven into this great conversation that he was having with his audience (the place seats about 25). An intimate setting to see a skilled magician up close and be part of a really cool experience with 20 of PT's newest friends. If you are staying anywhere near main street Galena and you don't attend this show, you screwed up. Thanks PT! You're cherry. read more

This magician is absolutely charming, great show! So glad that our group did this!! thank you, PT Murphy!

Excellent show with an affable magician. Skilled in close-up magic with excellent engagement with the audience. so worth it.

Excellent show! It was a combination of magic and comedy. The audience was included in the show which made it interactive.

As a family, we hit magic shows whenever we can. We were looking for things to do in Galena for our Xmas weekend and found this person on my yelp search. Booked it. Thanks yelp.....Would go again and here's why..... Location is kinda cool ..spooky ..feels magical. Everyone loved walking through the door. He is a great showman...always talking ...engaging ...small group gets everyone into the show. Pretty good magician I was trying to catch him at things...we all were...and he was very smooth...I would suggest booking before dinner like we did. We are still bringing up little things he did... Next time I also want to try the Galena pub ghost crawl... Enjoy... read more

I came in with low expectations and walked out thinking "I just witnessed a hidden gem in Galena". The magic was great,yes, but the performer was the magic from the moment we walked in! No joke...this man is a natural talent, charismatic, funny, endearing, in the moment true professional. He made 30 people feel like they knew each other and I walked out thinking " there is true goodness in the world and it is at 204 Hill Street in Galena. Wow!! I will return! read more

I've now seen P.T. twice. It's a great, fun, affordable, intimate performance for adults and children. Highly recommend if in the Galena-area. read more

P.T. Murphy's Magic turned my family and I into amazed believers. The venue is intimate and comfortable without a bad seat in the house. The performance was filled with intrigue, laughter, and awe...leaving my family talking about it for hours. Perfect for the whole family, too...both my tween and teen were mesmerized! This experience is a must during a visit to Galena...It's truly magical! read more

P.T. Murphy Magic - The masterful magician and his new believers! - Magicians Near Me - Galena, Illinois

Absolutely outstanding!!! I attended the show with my kids, my mom, my sister, & her kids on our recent visit to Galena. PT was extremely welcoming when we arrived. He is very interactive with the audience & even learned everybody's name at the start of the show. He was great about involving the kids as well as other audience members. I was blown away at his tricks. Everyone in our group is as entertained for the whole hour. I felt the price was well worth it. We will be back. read more

Okay. Magic is not my thing. Magic shows are not my thing. We were in Galena on a rainy Thursday with nothing to do and my friend saw there was a magic show nearby starting in an hour. With a little bit of hesitancy I agreed to go. To be honest, it was great. The guy was super funny, involved the audience, and kept our attention the whole time. I would suggest it to anyone. read more

P.T. Murphy Magic - Sign at night - Magicians Near Me - Galena, Illinois

Two thumbs up! We bought tickets to this on our last night on a whim and we're glad we did - this was my personal highlight of our Galena trip. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that you won't regret going down. It's set in a small intimate setting so tickets sell out quickly - get your tickets in advance! We will head back down again in 2 months and already plan to head back - hopefully it'll be a different set on show! read more

I've seen a good amount of magic shows in the city and I have to say I really really enjoyed this one. He is very interactive with his crowd and gets to know everyone sitting in front of him. He's wildly entertaining and puts on a very good show. I've been wanting to see his show for four years now and I finally got too! This would definitely be a show I'll come back to see yearly! I would highly recommend, buy tickets in advance they do tend to sell out rather quickly which is a good thing! It's a small intimate show! read more

Patrick was very entertaining and totally included everyone in the audience in his show. His magic was fantastic! Well worth the trip to see him perform! read more

This is a must when visiting Galena! P.T. Is so personable, you'll feel like you' ve known each other for ever. Perfect entertainment for all ages!! We were a party of 10 ranging from 5-60 and we were all blown away! Thank you for the best entertainment Galena has to offer!! Highlight of our trip. This review was long overdue. read more

P.T. Murphy's show is outstanding! It was the highlight of our visit to Galena. His show is as well orchestrated as shows in Chicago, with sleight of hand, close-up table-side techniques, and a healthy dose of audience participation. P.T. makes the intimate audience feel welcomed and invited into his show. We are glad we found it and even more glad he found space for us. He is witty and engaging, along with being talented. read more

Wow! Great combination of comedic schtick and "how the hell did he do that!" magic!! My group of 6 were all in awe of P.T. Murphy.!!!

I love the magic show . He is amazing and funny. He performs for big groups. We was like 10 pep and not a single person feel disappointed. He put a lot of work and it's shows when you hear the people behind you being amazed with a big wow . If you like magic you must stop here . I am a big fan..... Definitely come back .... read more

We purchased our tickets after walking by and then seeing the current yelp reviews. For under $30, we figured why not! This show was excellent and we were amazed! PT is very engaging and very talented. Venue is small so book your tickets as soon as you know you'll be in Galena! read more

Intimately sized theater and an absolutely quality filled show. Murphy is a captivating showman and an even better magician - his tricks completely amazed us. I wasn't sure what to expect, coming from Chicago to Galena for a quick weekend getaway, but we were looking for something to do on a Sunday night so we purchased tickets. I gotta say, it was well worth the money!! If you are going to be in Galena, and haven't seen this show do not hesitate! My boyfriend and I had a great time! Be prepared for an intimate show and some conversation with P.T. and the crowd, it's interactive but in a completely comfortable way. Go to this show! You will not be disappointed! read more

P.T. Murphy Magic on Main Street is the best magic show around, in my opinion and that of my entire family. Our middle son is a huge fan of magic, and studies up on it quite a bit, so to impress him is a big deal. P.T. Murphy interacts with the audience, making you feel as if you are part of the act, drawing you in until you forget that you are at a show with total strangers and not at a private party with friends. I love the intimate setting and his conversational style. It's a warm setting and much more personal than most other shows - not the Las Vegas style oversized venue waiting to watch an elephant disappear type show. There is a method to his madness, a building of expectation, and humor, too! You have to actually pay attention to what is going on to appreciate the outcome. This is magic Chicago style! We have seen his show a few times in Chicago as well and have always been impressed and surprised - never the same show twice and always stunned at his slight of hand and up close and personal style of magic. He is truly an "old school" magician, and a great outing for the entire family. If you are going to Galena this is a "must do" on your itinerary! read more

P.T.Murphy's Magic On Main is a GREAT night out for anyone spending time in the Galena area. Mixing humour,congeniality,and good-old-fashioned show biz know-how,Mr.Murphy instantly won the crowd over. As for the prestidigitation, I wouldn't dream of spoiling the many surprises on hand. Suffice to say we were amazed time and again by Mr.Murphy's skill, from slight-of-hand to the more involved set-ups. Some of the bits involved story telling,and P.T. handled these portions of the show with equal aplomb. If you're looking for an entertaining show suitable for the whole family, I heartily recommend P.T.Murphy's Magic On Main! read more

Not sure why this is coming up closed, we were just there tonight! We absolutely loved the show; everyone from my 8 year old daughter to my 93 year old grandma! The magician (I can't remember his name, because my memory stinks unlike his, he remembered everyone's name on the way out!) was friendly, fun and engaging. His skills were superb; we were so impressed! I will absolutely be at another show next time I'm in Galena! read more

We were a little hesitant at first; it's a tiny venue, we went to the 9 pm show on Halloween weekend. Even though the parade was over, parking was a little challenging. Because of this, the show started a little late; I don't see this being a problem during most of the year. Once it got started, we were pleasantly surprised. It was interactive, and we laughed. The magic was up close and personal and a wonderful time. Better than the magic show in Branson! read more

This was a really fun show! The venue is small -- I believe it seated 24. You are seated in the order that you arrive. We showed up about 25 minutes before the show and were the 3rd couple to arrive so we ended up in the front row center. The show was engaging and P.T.'s personality is fantastic. P.T. even took the time to get to know everybody's name and his wonderful humor is weaved throughout the show. I would highly recommend an evening with P.T. Murphy if you are in the Galena area. Just a note: Tickets need to be purchased in advance. Also, there is no food or beverages served. We did bring in our own bottle of water. read more

This magic show was amazing. More people need to yelp his show!! He really had my boyfriend and I stunned. I love the audience participation- he really picked on me Its a very intimate setting, which its a good thing in my eyes!! He will definitely have you leaving with you scratching your head!! If your looking for something to do in Galena, this is a must!!! read more

P.T. Murphy Magic - Magicians Near Me - Galena, Illinois

The show was amazing! I have seen magicians on TV and thought "meh" so I really didn't expect to be as entertained as I was. It's a small setting with only 24 seats available so you are up close to the magic. P.T Murphy is a great magician who gets the audience to interact if they wish. I have already recommended to others that this is a must see show when in Galena. Don't miss out!... There is a reason all reviews are this positive. Thanks for the great show Mr. Murphy. read more

Been to Galena so many times and stumbled on this show just recently. What a pleasure! It was great! I highly recommend checking it out.

Good show! P.T. is a fine, friendly performer and the magic is fooling. I like how much he interacts with the audience, but never makes you feel uncomfortable, and his small theatre is pretty cool. I have no idea how he memorizes everyone's name in about 3 minutes, but he does! There's not a lot of shows in Galena, and this one is the only great one. Go. read more
