I did this with my 12 year old son who is a Magic Fan and I knew he would struggle through another museum tour - it was perfect. Rob has found his niche in combining his native knowledge of the area, along with some exciting magical twists and turns. A perfect combination of light exercise, entertainment, education and relationship. Well done Rob !

My wife and I took the Comedy Magic Walk last year when it was part of the Philly Fringe Festival. This was a fun activity that was COVID-safe, being outdoors. Robert Malissa is incredibly creative and he's created a funny and mystifying experience. He weaves interesting historical tidbits amongst the comedy and magic, and everything is artfully tied together. The magic is fantastic, and the mentalism had me totally stumped for an explanation! I highly recommend this tour -- if you like comedy and magic you'll have a great time!

We did this tour during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. It was a fun walking tour around the Old City section of Philadelphia that weaved a little history of the area with magic and comedy. It was a pretty unique way to tour the city. Good for some laughs and amazing magic tricks, and even learned some about the city.
