Had a great time on the Great Comedy Magic Walk. Got some steps in, saw some sites I didn't know were there (and I live in Philly), and had my mind blown with fabulous feats of sleight of hand! Who knew that dead people in an alley can write psychic messages on blank slates? How did he get the coin into the little bottle? Maybe you can figure it out. I can't!

My son and I booked a tour based on previous reviews! It was a beautiful Fall day and neither of us knew much about historic Philly. Rob is fun, funny, friendly and engaging. He shares interesting Historical facts, and makes some up! His magic tricks are good, especially the last one. A unique & different tour that I would recommend for family/friend fun. Enjoy!

Thanks for the 5-star review! It was great to meet the both of you. I am glad you liked the whole mix and the closer. I think Philly is beautiful in the fall. I love it so much, I start singing. (I hope you enjoyed that part.)
