- Jason MBethlehem, Pennsylvania13 contributionsFun Evening in the PoconosIf you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing this show. I'd seen Jason perform a couple of other times at larger venues in SE Pennsylvania, so when I heard he was performing about an hour away in the Poconos, I knew the short drive would be worth it as it's never quite the same experience twice. His magic, whether it be close-up, sleight of hand, or larger format illusions, always amazes; but when you add in the comedy and audience participation aspect, you get a unique and fun experience each time, fit for the whole family. Aside from the performance, the area and venue were quaint and gave an authentic small-town feeling. We went on a warm summer evening in late June and spent additional time walking around town and enjoyed one of the local restaurants that was within walking distance of the theatre. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening and an experience I won't soon forget.Thank you so much for making the drive out to see the show and for all of your ongoing support by coming to so many shows of ours. Glad you keep having fun and coming back. Thanks for the review and we'll hope to see you at another one down the road!!

- Kandi P1 contributionAmazing magic with lots of laughs!My husband and I took our 4 children to see this show, and we all had a blast. The magic was amazing and the kids loved it. Jason was also very funny and had us laughing almost the entire time. The venue was easy to get to and parking was free on the street. The whole experience was affordable and fun for all 6 of us, so I definitely recommend it.Thank you so, so, so much for your early support of our Poconos show! I appreciate you not only coming to the show but also posting such a wonderful review.

We have been following his shows locally ever since we first saw him on the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship entertaining all the cruise ship passengers!!

- Matt S1 contributionAn Unbelievable Show - Cannot Recommend Enough!My family and I were fortunate enough to see Jason Bishop on his opening weekend in Stroudsburg and man oh man, we were absolutely blown away. Jason and his partner Kim are not only fantastic illusionists, but the show is hysterically funny, too! My cousin saw this show when it was playing on Broadway and recommended we try to catch Jason on tour when he passed through our area next. When I checked his website and discovered he was performing regularly in Stroudsburg, we jumped at the opportunity to get tickets. So glad we did... and we already have tickets to another show when our family visits next month. Trust me, you want to see this Vegas-caliber show. The best entertainment the Poconos have seen in years!Thank you so much for such an enthusiastic review of the show and thanks for your ongoing support! It means a lot to us that you took the time to give such a great review. Hope to see you at another upcoming show!Written 25 August 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 20 August 2024
- Madeline ALos Angeles, California1 contributionMagic and personality that leave a lasting impression.I’ve seen a lot of magicians, both on cruises and at frequent visits to The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and Jason Bishop’s show always shines above the rest. Jason is unique in that he can pivot between family programming and adult shows, just blowing each out of the water. He and Kim always have new tricks that will have you saying “How?!?!?” repeatedly, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire show. Jason is also hilarious and witty, but never at the expense of roasting audience members or being disrespectful. Jason and Kim are very genuine and do great philanthropy work. You can tell that they love people and the work they do. Extra points that they have an adorable terrier in most their shows.Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for your support of the show over the years! Hope to see you at another down the road!Written 25 August 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 20 August 2024

- messymikeBlakeslee, Pennsylvania25 contributionsMust see show.Jason has a very inspiring story about his life and his magic is incredible. Combined with his unique sense of humor and audience participation his show is a must see. I highly recommend you experience this show and show your support as he would like to have his show become a permanent part of the area.Thanks for your support of the show and our vision for a permanent entertainment venue in the area.

- Phillydon Bird4 contributionsWear your Depends as this magician is FUNNY!Do yourself a favor and see this show. I don't think I've laughed this much in ages (this totally could have been a comedy show) and the magic isn't bad either. If you can splurge on the VIP tickets, which are still very reasonably priced, sit in the three seat row on the right at the very front and get amazing in person views of the up close magic. That said, this was an intimate little venue and they use cameras so even the seats at the back are good seats. Great audience interaction and a fun night all round.Thank you so much for the supportive review; its very appreciated!!Written 25 August 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 August 2024
- Joseph A2 contributionsAmazing show!Amazing show. We saw the show on Liberty of the Seas in June and fell in love. Funny, entertaining and incredible magic tricks. We sat less than 10 feet away and were in awe of what we saw. Can’t wait to see what else he comes up with.Thank you so much for the support after seeing us on your cruise.

- Michael O4 contributionsThe comedy was as good as the magic! Must see!This is the second time I had the chance to watch Jason's Magic and comedy. First time was on Royal Caribbean cruise in the beginning of August and I just went to see him with my girlfriend at the end of August. The show was as funny as it was Amazing. Great magic. Great comedy. Great entertainment. Thank you for putting on a great show with Kim. I especially enjoyed you making fun of those punk kids and putting them in their place! Ha!Thanks for coming out to the show after seeing us on your cruise! I appreciate the support and am glad you and your girlfriend had fun, thanks for sticking around after the show to say hi. Hopefully we'll see you guys at another show down the road.

This show was amazing. We didn’t know what to expect but Jason has a way of entertaining the adults as well as teens and younger. It is not only cool illusions but he has a unique humor that has you laughing from the start. I recommend highly for all ages; couples, families with teens and families with young kids. Can’t go wrong! Thank you for a great show. We will definitely be back.

Wow! We just saw Jason Bishop’s Magic Show, and it was incredible! My wife and I love doing fun and romantic things together, and this was perfect for a weekend getaway! Even though it was something special for us since her father loved magic when she grew up. The whole family came along this time, and our kids were so excited to be part of the magic. Jason included his audience, making us feel like we were all part of the show. My son, Solly, helped with the jail tricks, which made it even more fun!
The way he controls the whole room is crazy awesome—you don’t know what’s happening next, and every surprise blows your mind! We couldn’t stop talking about how he made things disappear and reappear right before our eyes. We felt a special connection with Jason because he, Kim, his assistant, and Gizmo, the little dog, are so friendly! He made us laugh the whole way through.
It wasn’t just a show; it felt like we all shared this magical experience together. You must see if you’re looking for something exciting and meaningful to do with your family. Jason Bishop makes magic more than just tricks—it brings people together. We’ll definitely go again!
Yes! I 100% encourage everyone to see this show when you visit the Poconos next time!

I can’t recommend this show enough. Everyone in our group ranging from children to adults had a great time and left confused/amazed/wanting to return and see it again. Jason is extremely talented and effortlessly hilarious. I was blown away at the production quality-from lights to music and technology used, it broke every stereotype of an old school magic show. I can’t wait to see the show again!

I had the chance to see magician and illusionist Jason Bishop perform many times over the years. His current show is his best yet!
I first met Jason when he was about 14 years old when he attended a local magic event. At the time, I was a professional magician and magic dealer, and I taught magic to those who wanted to learn, and I also brought in top magicians from around the world to give private lectures and workshops at my house.
Jason came often to learn from these master magicians from around the world. He was a great student, eager to learn and put in whatever amount of time was necessary to not only learn the basics but perfect whatever trick or effect he wanted to perform. He would come to my magic shop and ask questions about magic in general and about certain tricks and routines, buy a few selected props and accessories, and gradually, he put together a show that included expert card manipulation, sleight of hand, and beautiful routines with candles, doves, and a few props. He kept coming back and continued to learn and perfect his routines and develop as an artist.
I introduced Jason to other magicians, invited him to join me at local magic club meetings, local and regional magic conventions, and he continued to study,
learn, and practice not just until he got it right but until he couldn’t get it wrong. He had talent, enthusiasm, and an almost insatiable desire to learn, and I told him that if he kept at it that he could make a living performing magic someday. He not only believed me, but more importantly, he believed in himself.
Jason eventually began to enter magic competitions at local and regional magic conventions, and soon, he began winning them, and he was asked to perform his act in their evening shows. He was an audience favorite for both lay audiences and magicians.
After nearly 30 years of practice to perfect his art and his craft, Jason Bishop is now a master magician, illusionist, and entertainer. His magic has taken him around the world and back. His current show is the culmination of an outstanding career.
If you get a chance to see his latest show, then don’t wait - get your tickets now. You won’t be disappointed.
From classic sleight of hand to amazing close-up magic and large-scale illusions that will simply blow you away, Jason will entertain you, fool you, amaze you, and leave you wanting to see more. The best part is you can see him again, but only for a limited time. Buy your tickets today!

This show never fails to amaze me. Magic shows tend to have a “cheesy” connotation however this show breaks all stereotypes. I was in awe that every second of the show I was engaged, from Jason’s jokes, Kim’s quick outfit changes, the adorable Gizmo, audience interactions, the talent, and of course the mind boggling illusions. I absolutely love the show, so much that I have returned many times bringing new friends and family to experience it, all of which have loved the show as much as me. HIGHLY recommend!!!

I've had the pleasure of seeing Jason perform multiple times, and each time his show blows me away! His magic is nothing short of incredible—I've seen tricks that I’ve never witnessed anywhere else. Not only is his magic impressive, but Jason has an amazing stage presence. He's fantastic with the audience, extremely funny, and clearly has so much fun with every performance. His energy is contagious, making the whole experience unforgettable! We never miss an opportunity to attend his show, and every time, Jason and his incredible team deliver a mind-blowing performance. Highly recommend—Jason is truly one of a kind!

The Jason Bishop show is amazingly entertaining. The illusions are unbelievable. After each you are left trying to figure out how he possibly does it, but the answers don’t come!! Then he is on to the next mind boggling trick.
He is also a bit of a comedian. Like the writers of Shrek, he has a real knack for inserting different levels of humor. One funny line connecting with the kids, the next with the next generation and still others for the boomers in the crowd.
Like every good showman he ends with you wanting more. The show could be 5 hours and you would still want more! But still you leave feeling exhilarated.
Strongly recommended!!
