Frequently asked questions

Bristol Magic Theatre is an intimate 18-seat close-up magic and mind-reading theatre in Clifton, Bristol. Expect story-driven sleight of hand, mind reading and absurd comedy, performed inches from your seat across two halves.

We are at 39 Alma Vale Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 2HL. The nearest station is Clifton Down, a short walk away, and street parking is available on nearby roads.

We perform on the last two Saturdays of each month. Doors open at 7:00pm and the show starts at 7:30pm.

Tickets are £20 each and are booked online through Headfirst Bristol. We usually sell out in advance, so we recommend booking ahead.

Just 18 seats per show. Everyone sits in a half-circle around a single table, so every seat is close to the magic.

The show runs for about 90 minutes in two 45-minute halves, with a 10-minute interval in between to grab a drink and chat.
