Niagara Magic Live, the Magic Show in Niagara Falls, Ontario

Niagara Magic Live stars Greg Frewin, an International Grand Champion of Magic, alongside Alexandra, billed by the production as Canada’s Lady of Magic. The show is built around a storyline rather than a run of separate tricks, and the producers say it is recognised by the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

The Niagara Falls magic show runs 90 minutes and starts at 7:30pm. The theatre asks you to arrive between 7:00pm and 7:15pm, which gives you time to find your table, order from the bar and settle before the house lights go down. There is one performance on each night it plays, and it does not play every night, so check the date before booking anything around it.

Tickets to the magic show in Niagara Falls start at $20 for an adult on Level 5 and rise to about $41 for Orchestra Level 1 at the front. Children aged 4 to 11 pay less on every tier, seniors aged 63 and over pay less on every tier except Level 5, and infants under 4 sit on a lap for nothing. The exact fare moves with the season and the tier you pick.

The best seats at the Greg Frewin Theatre depend on what you want from the evening rather than on sightlines. The theatre states that every level is tiered and every view is unobstructed, so Level 5 at the back still sees the whole stage. Orchestra Level 1 is flat and closest, which matters for the close-up sleight of hand; the tiers behind it trade that proximity for height and a lower price.

Yes. The Niagara Falls magic show is suitable for children, and the production describes it as designed for all ages. There is a child fare for ages 4 to 11, infants under 4 sit on a lap at no charge, and the 7:30pm start with a 90 minute running time puts the finish around 9pm.

Dinner is not included with the magic show. The ticket covers admission to the 90 minute performance and the government fees, and nothing else. A buffet dinner before the show is available but has to be arranged directly with the theatre box office, and concessions, a licensed bar and a magic shop are open at every performance.

No. Photographs are not allowed at the show: the theatre lists no cameras among its conditions of entry, which is ordinary for an illusion act where the method is the product. Everything else about the evening is relaxed, with table service and a bar running before the house lights drop.

Yes. The theatre is wheelchair accessible, and the operator states that all areas and surfaces are, not only the entrance. Service animals are welcome, no particular level of fitness is needed, and there is public transport near the venue.

The Greg Frewin Theatre is at 5781 Ellen Avenue in Niagara Falls, Ontario, a few minutes from Clifton Hill and the Canadian side of the falls. Nobody collects you: this is a ticket rather than a tour, so you make your own way there. Parking is not included in the ticket and there is public transport nearby.
