What is The Magic Gateway?
The Magic Gateway is a 60-minute magic show for the whole family, where kids actually get involved and assist with magic effects.

Particularly for the little ones, The Magic Gateway taps into the purest parts of childhood—curiosity and the joy of believing anything is possible. It invites them to dream and assist in mind-bending tricks that are full of surprises.
