See Royal White Tigers, leopards; a helicopter appear in three seconds flat; assistants cut in half; amazing arrow shooting; and other surprises. Kirby's rapport with the audience along with his up close and personal slight of hand is makes for great fun Plus take a Magical Mystery Backstage Tour with Kirby's Big Cats. « less

Went to see this show in May 2012 with my wife, 4 children ages 7,9,10, & 11, and my Mom and Dad. The magic was fine, but I have to say I was mostly embarrassed the whole time to be there with my children watching the female dancers and assistants. For our family, we were all totally offended at the... More

It is fast paced, interesting and amazing the feats that were accomplished Kirby and Bambi are great entertainers. The down side was the sales pitches and multiple picture offers(we did buy the first one) Overall it was a hit!

Saw this show last night. Theater was about 1/3 full, probably normal for this time of year. We saw some amazing illusions and a few still have us talking 16 hours later. Both Kirby and Bambi are mesmerizing performers and I wouldn't mind seeing this show again so I could pay closer attention, even though I was very focused on... More

For $4.00 more a person we were seated in row two. My granddaughters were fascinated. He was very interactive with the kids and brought the magic right to them. The only I was hesitant about was the light wands he sold for $5.00 each and then only used them for about thirty seconds in his act. Overall a very well... More

This leaves me somewhat disturbed ... in a nice sort of way. My brain knows that what I just saw is impossible, yet it just happened. We got VIP seating, right at the front, so there's nothing they could hide from us ... yet clearly they did. I say 'they', because Kirby's wife, Bambi, also performed illusions. How is it... More

Felt like I paid to go to a sales pitch. They tried to sell the kids stuff before, during, and after the show. The show wasn't very good either. I don't like to go to shows where the entertainment feel you are there to praise them. If you have to ask for praise, you're not bringing it. My kids thought... More

This show is elaborate and amazing. All of the illusions are well staged and unbelievable. Kirby is a showman in the style of Houdini and Blackstone. His wife is also a well recognized illusionist in her own right and plays a major role in the show. I really love magic/illusion shows and this is one of the best I've ever... More

the magic is fabulous, but kirby is the star. there are many great illusionists , but only one kirby. his personality and wonderful way with the audience is inspiring. i seem to have been blessed with more than an indelible memory of his magic, and his engaging smile and loving manner. there is a fabulous connection with christ that kirby...

Enjoyed the show! We did pay the extra for the behind the scenes after the show and that was not worth the price unless you had a big family. Basically they walked you around the Tigers in their cages. $25.00 per family or $10.00 a person. The show itself was great and we had excellent seats! We were seated right... More
