Warning: this might be a spoiler!
My first magic show ever. Came here with my family and everyone enjoyed it. Even my little nephew (3 years old), did not cry through it. You know the magic shows on TV? The ones you stick those gigantic swords, people disappearing, things transforming, it is exactly like it.
Greg would keep you wondering, how on earth did he do that ? The animals were properly trained, and they were all so cute. Especially his 14 year old dog that has been in the show for forever. Also, all the tigers worked so hard! Am I spoiling it ? Just expect animals! If you're an animal lover.
What I thought was a bit weird were the girls dancing around. My nephew became grouchy during those parts.
Forgot to add that there are snacks (popcorn & candy) and a great selection of drinks. We tried 3 different cocktails and they were all tasty! My brother had a bucket of beer for himself and my dad.
All in all, this show was great. -

I went to see Greg Frewin with my fiance on January 28th. There are 2 options: Dinner and a show, or just the show. We chose to eat dinner there as well.
The food was overall delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly - the chicken parm had good taste - the salads were good - the fruit salad was (according to my fiance) good - the dessert table had a plethora of options ranging from coconut pie, to chocolate pie, to apple pie. The pasta was poor, but everything else was so delicious it seems petty to even mention it.
As far as the show goes, Greg does a fantastic job. He is funny, smart, and a very good illusionist. There were a variety of animals used in the routine: 3 tigers, a duck, and a bird. They all did excellent! Greg performed all of the tricks to perfection and engaged the audience quite a bit - twice calling audience members on stage and a couple of times talking to individual audience members in the crowd. He is the definition of a performer and he along with the food is why I am giving this show a 4 star rating!
Now concerning the theater, Greg needs to make a change. This is not a natural theater style with rows of chairs all facing towards the stage. The theater is comprised of different levels of tables and they are all set vertically towards the stage. You, while in your chair and facing forward, are looking at the wall - not the stage. Therefore, during the show you have to turn your head to the left (if you are sitting on the right) and to the right (if you are sitting on the left). You can not sit straight ahead because of room constrictions (they smash the tables pretty close to each other) and because if you do the person behind you will simply be staring at your back. By the end of the night my neck was a bit sore from have to turn it to see the stage the entire time.
NOTE: Including in the meal price, you are allowed 1 soda or coffee/tea. All others you have to pay for. My fiance and I ordered a total of 2 extra sodas, 2 fruity cocktails, and a mixed bar drink and the total for the drinks came to around $28. So it's not terrible priced. -

On our family vacation to Niagara Falls we hit a day of rain mid stay, so my dad went looking for things to do and came back with tickets to Greg Frewin's magic show. My dad had such a grin on his face that no matter how we might have each felt about the idea of a magic show, we were all on board for anything that made my dad smile that big!
The experience was great! It was exactly what we were looking for--something entertaining, light and fun. We opted not to eat there (as I had read some reviews suggesting that it wasn't worth the money) and just had drinks, which were priced on par with the rest of the area.
We got the mid level seats, which actually ended up being the best in the house! If you go--definitely ask to sit on the 2nd level--you really can't get a better view!
The show was great! It was a perfect blend of light comedy (lots of puns--right up my alley) and great magic! He did everything from illusions to close up card tricks where he had a video camera projecting his every move onto large drop down screens. Each time I would think, "Oh he must have..." he would then revel something that would crush my idea. It was fantastic!
The only less than stellar part were the dancers, who seemed like they needed a couple of more hours of practice and sometimes seemed a little too sexy for the family atmosphere.
Overall it was a great show with a great magician. It was entertaining and something the entire family, from kids to grandparents, would enjoy.
I know my dad left smiling even bigger than when we went in! -

We got a "family package" at our hotel, which among other things included tickets to the Greg Frewin magic show. I took my 11 year old daughter. We were very pleasantly surprised. We had a great time. You can buy candy, drinks, popcorn, etc. and the prices won't break you. My daughter's review is "I loved that Niagara Falls magic show - - - it was a REALLY good show". We thought it was better than another magic show we had seen in Vegas.

AMAZING! We have been wanting to go for some time but the prices were unbelievable. So we were putting it off and one day our work gave us tickets. We brought our 3 yr old and went with some friends who also have a 3 yr old. Amazing! We sat in the front row and really he is just that good! The girls I found were to "Sexified" but all in all a good show! Expect to pay ALOT of everything but it was a great experiance. My 3 yr old still talks about "The Girl just Diskapeared" and many other things I won't ruin!
We ended up paying an additional $20 for 2 glasses of wine and a beer. Beer was horrible Husband didn't even finish half of it! And we bought our daughter a little Tiger $16 that was ripped the next day. But worth the money for the show. Just don't buy the extras !
