    Our guests enjoying themselves during the show!

    We hosted a joint birthday party at The Magic Patio and couldn't have been happier. Andrew is an amazing magician, but also host. He is very easy to communicate with, and makes the event special by personalizing to your needs and group. Oliver was an excellent bartender and tech! The show itself is amazing! We are so lucky to have The Magic Patio in our neighborhood!

    The Magic Patio show was very impressive. I would say it's even better than The Illusionist: - It's shorter than I expected. It's more like 60 minutes. But it's very action-packed and fast-paced. - Half the fun is Andrew's showmanship, which is very San Francisco. - All the tricks were great; there were no duds. One of the tricks, with a "magic cocktail shaker", stunned everyone. - There is a lot of audience participation; with a small audience, about half the crowd participated. Similar to The Illusionist, The crowd really bonded over the communal engagement. - It's BYOB, and they provide glasses. A lot of people brought wine and beer, and it was awesome. - There is a pinball machine set to free play in back; check that out before the show.

    I've gone to the Magic Patio shows from before the pandemic to just this month. I no longer live in San Francisco, but I try to catch a show whenever I'm back. Andrew is a wonderful magician. He's a great entertainer in general. There were funny moments and heartfelt moments, and his shows always have a nice narrative flow. The actual magic stuff is great too. The decor of the theater has a lot of love in it. He and his crew have built most of it. There's a lot of custom carpentry. Bathrooms: Clean, well-decorated, but there's only one, so come early if you want to use it before the show starts.

    Andrew the star of the show.

    Great show, small venue, intimate Setting, mind blowing act. This word of mouth gem of a show entertained a generation of family members, with many who return time and time again. It is a perfect night out in a hidden corner of San Francisco. Andrew is a magician, mentalist and fantastic entertainer!

    Everything about this place was magical, from the not-so-secret location on Mission Street to the amazing showmanship of Andrew Evans, with the quirky and inviting decor and lighting in the venue adding a nice touch. It was everything I expected and more. Some of the illusions were typical acts commonly performed by magicians, like cutting the rope, teleportation, and mentalism tricks involving the crowd. But I was blown away by the mysterious act pouring different drinks out of a milk carton. And I'm easily entertained regardless, so even the old tricks never really get old, especially when the magician is a talented performer who knows how to engage the audience, adding a bit of comedy too. The Magic Patio is perfect for date night, the warm ambience in this intimate space and captivating performance on stage will definitely put you in a good mood, wanting more. It's no wonder the tickets for this show seem to sell out weeks in advance. Just don't forget to bring your own refreshments as there are no drinks for sale on site.

    Wow, what a fun show!! Andrew kept out jaws on the floor all night with all of his tricks! This is a must do if you are in the city visiting, looking for a fun date night idea or if you just want to see some really cool magic tricks! Definitely will be back!

    BYOB with glasses and openers provided.

    Absolutely everything! Andrew is truly a gifted performer and magician! Jaw dropping, mouth open, how the H did he do that kind of evening for a full fun packed 90 minutes. Venue in Bernal Heights on Mission was intimate (~60 people) and conveniently located close to many neighborhood restaurants for a bite before or after the show! One stop fun filled evening in SF! I can't recommend enough!

    My best friend hired Boswick to perform at her daughter's 3rd birthday party at Dolores Park, and…read morehe was fantastic! First, Boswick is a true professional. It was a very hot day, and all the kids were originally seated facing the sun, before starting his show, he had the parents turn the children around so they wouldn't be staring into the sunlight. That spoke volumes about his experience. Boswick had so many tricks up his sleeve and kept the kids engaged and laughing throughout. The birthday girl (as is perfectly appropriate for her age!) wandered off midway through, but the older kids were totally captivated the entire time. When the balloon-making began, she came right back, a perfect ending to the performance. Even the adults were entertained! Boswick effortlessly switches between engaging 3-year-olds, 7-year-olds, and adults alike with his humor and charm. As a teacher, I really appreciated his ability to manage a crowd and keep everyone entertained. Other nearby parties had a jump house and a traveling petting zoo with a runaway turtle, but Boswick was by far the highlight of the park. Overall, we were impressed. I would recommend Boswick for any kids' event.

    Me and my daughter saw his show last year when he was preforming at the millbrae rotary event near…read moreHalloween. He was so awesome with his ballon twisting and his show. I ever seen my 5 years old laugh so hard. To the point tears came out from her eyes. Since then I want to bring her to more shows , unfortunately it's any for public unless I hire someone privately, which I'm planning to do for my daughter upcoming birthday in July. Thanks for the awesome show last year!!

He asks for volunteers from the audience, so the kids love this. His magic tricks keep the kids guessing and they're fun too. Although I have to admit some jokes are a little corny, but they are still fun and the kids keep on laughing. I thought it was a good overall performance. My kids were engaged the whole time and they laughed throughout the show. I don't know the cost or how far he travels, but I am considering him for one of our kids' events. This party was in the east bay but I see that he is usually based in South Bay.

What really stood out was how he took the time to personally introduce himself to both of my kids, immediately winning them over with a couple of quick magic tricks. During the show, Dante kept all the kids fully engaged, involving many of them in the performance, which made it extra special. His act struck the perfect balance of humor and intrigue--entertaining not just for the children, but for the adults too. Also, he made sure the birthday kid felt special by involving her in a special trick at the end. I would highly recommend Dante to anyone looking for a magician who's professional, personable, and truly knows how to create a memorable experience.
