How about we went to school on Sunday?! ๐ŸšŒ

Not just any school though….

Mr. Messado’s School of Magic for the Young and Young at Heart ๐Ÿช„

I’d love to tell you everything that we learned, but I think you all know the number one rule in magic school…. ๐Ÿค” and we don't want to end up like this guy โคต๏ธ



Here’s what I CAN tell you. Liberty Magic is located on Liberty Avenue right next to the Harris Theatre. Just look for the guy hanging upside down by chains. You can't miss it....



Walking in to the building my kids were mesmerized by the magic that surrounded us. Jon Tai, a magician (whose performance at Liberty Magic was amazing BTW) at the front desk, greeted us and instructed us to pull a magic card. The kids took a card and looked around wide-eyed in wonder. This facade of this speakeasy doubles is a magic shop with an abundance of delightful tricks and treasures on every wall.



Jon motioned for us to take our seats. In order to get to the theater we had to sneak through the doorway behind the front desk where we ran smack into a fully functioning Zoltar machine.



Walking in to the theater, there’s not a bad seat in the house as this intimate performance is to an audience of about 60 in 4 rows cuddling the stage. The kids were each given their own composition book to take notes of the lessons they were about to endure over the next hour. Mr. Messado was comedic, highly entertaining, and truly nailed this family-friendly show.



Mr. Messado’s School of Magic will run every Sunday through the end of September. Hurry up and get your tickets before the show disappears right before your eyes!
