Best Magic Shows in Nashville

Sep 24

Searching for the best magic shows in Nashville? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Some of the most talented magicians in the world have called Nashville, TN home. Nashville won’t be changing it’s name from “Music City” to “Magic City” anytime soon, however it has a wonderful history of hosting some of the best magic shows.

While Masters of Illusion, The Illusionists and Justin Flom have all played Nashville, the three best magic shows currently calling Nashville home are The Magic of Stephen, House of Cards Restaurant, and Jason Michaels’s show Mysteries and Illusions.

Stephen Bargatze is widely recognized among his peers as one of the funniest comedy magicians in the world. His style of comedy magic reminds you what a Don Rickles show might have been like had Rickles taken up magic as a hobby in his youth. And yes, if you recognize the last name Bargatze it is because Stephen is Nate Bargatze’s father.

You can find Stephen touring with his son Nate, performing at private functions around town, or - occasionally - at Zanies Comedy Club with one of the best magic shows in Nashville.

House of Cards is a fine dining restaurant located in Nashville, TN that elegantly celebrates the art of magic. House of Cards employs a number of local Nashville magicians performing close-up magic. The restaurant also brings in touring magicians to play their Carter the Great Showroom.

If you are looking for a fine dining experience complete with craft cocktails and a museum quality collection of magic, House of Cards is an excellent choice. Be sure to ask your server to show you Harry Houdini’s “Kingbreaker” handcuffs.

Jason Michaels’s show Mysteries and Illusions is the newest magic show in town - and certainly one of the best magic shows in Nashville. A Nashville native, Michaels has traveled extensively around the world (twenty-five countries and counting) entertaining audiences with his magic show.

Michaels believes that the best magic show should incorporate close-up sleight-of-hand magic, mind-blowing mentalism, and highly visual illusions. Mysteries and Illusions combines all of those elements to continually surprise and delight audiences. The fact that each performance only seats 30 people adds to the allure of this intimate show - which is full of the strongest, most memorable magic you will ever experience.

Tickets are $40 for General Admission and $65 for VIP Seating. For tickets to Mysteries and Illusions, click here.
