First, I'll start by saying that the serving staff at this show were wonderful. I almost gave an extra star just because of them, but the magician left such a terrible taste in my mouth that even the delightful serving staff couldn't redeem it.

The food was probably worth 2 stars, not inedible, but not good either. I don't know why the other reviews are all about the corn bread - it was super dry and bland.

The magician, though, was honestly a terrible person. The magic tricks were all pretty standard, something the kids would be impressed with, but nothing special. Not terrible. Would have been enjoyable in a corny way, if not for the "comedy" element.

The magician is clearly going through a very bitter divorce, and is a miserable person, because every single joke he told was either about women getting hurt/killed, or women stealing money from men. Every. Single. Joke. (With the exception of 2 or 3 homophobic jokes, just to change it up.)

And, bear in mind, we went to the show the day after Valentine's Day, so most people there were on dates. Plus, it was billed as family-friendly, so there were a bunch of kids there. I'm sure the parents were happy to have their kids sit through a couple hours of jokes about women getting beaten to death (not an exaggeration - that was literally the punch line of one of his OPENING jokes). He asked people to applaud if they hated marriage - again, the day after Valentine's, when it was clearly families and people on dates. Not a great response to that "joke." Maybe read the room, guy?

He also was very, very obvious about only calling on men to volunteer with his tricks. The only 2 times he called on women were: 1. A child's trick involving wearing a princess costume, and 2. A trick that required the volunteer to touch him.

Out of an approximately 2 hour show, in which almost every trick used audience participation, he called on women 2 times.

He even skipped over a couple of girl children, who clearly DESPERATELY wanted to participate, in favor of calling on the same boy child more than once. Cool.

At one point he had a boy child give a dollar to a girl, and told him to get used to women taking his money. These are very young kids. Come on, dude.

Oh! And don't forget the part where he tried to make two kids, approximately 7-8 years old, who did not know each other, kiss on stage. Because of course one of the only times he called on a girl to participate, it involved sexualizing children. The girl was so visibly uncomfortable, she started to leave the stage - at which point he backtracked and said the "spell" would also work if she blew on his hand instead. How about don't make kids uncomfortable by trying to make them kiss each other, and then try to remedy it by making the girl get close enough to touch and having her blow on you? It was creepy. The kid was bright red with embarrassment and practically ran off the stage when the trick was done. She had been so excited to be picked to volunteer initially, too.

The whole thing was incredibly cringe-inducing. This guy is so bitter! The restaurant should really re-evaluate his material. Women and children made up more than half the audience, and he managed to make both groups uncomfortable for the entire show. It was not family friendly, and it was not date friendly.

Look, for the cheap Groupon price, I was not expecting anything amazing. I figured it would be cheesy, but at least entertaining. It was not. It was just uncomfortable.

It's a great show if you're a straight guy who has just been dumped or served with divorce papers, and you aren't dealing with it in an adult manner.
