This is a wonderful way to see Old City Philadelphia. Rob Malissa has created a uniquely enjoyable tour that combines magic, humor, and history, with some audience participation and a song thrown in for good measure! Rob links his marvelous magic tricks to each historical venue, a format that really enriches the experience. Whether you are a tourist new to Philly or know the city and are looking for an entertaining day out, I highly recommend the Magic Walk.

Thank you for coming on the "Walk" and for the excellent review. I'm glad you mentioned the song. I was trying to come up with a different way to perform a card trick. Having the Arden Theater on my route inspired "Les Mis, The Musical Card Trick". It's really fun to perform, and I love the audience reactions.

Wow! What a great way to explore historical Philadelphia! We had big smiles on our faces the whole time. Rob's enthusiasm and passion for the city is contagious and he is a very warm host. The magic is also first rate - we had a couple of real jaw droppers on the tour. Highly recommend for couples or families.
