Deal: $22 Ticket to Glenn Gary’s Parlor Magic Show ($45 value)
Grade: D
I mentioned that the Belly Bash was the most awkward experience I’ve had, but I spoke too soon…Glenn Gary’s Magic Show was even more awkward and uncomfortable. There were only 8 people there (I think all of them must have had a Groupon … or at least I hope they didn’t pay full price) and all of his tricks were obviously tricks you can just buy off the internet. I can’t believe he regularly charges $45 a show…or that I paid $22. You can see better magic tricks from the magicians at the Old Town Pier … and all you have to do is put some money in their hat. His talk was bad, his tricks were bad and he even messed up a few tricks and had to start over. P-A-I-N-F-U-L.

The last trick Glenn did was make a card box float in mid air. Yes, it sounds cool and unbelievable….and it would have been if it weren’t for the magnets you could see on the back edge of the table.
Overall, the show wasn’t worth $22. You can see comparable magic at little to no cost.
