FAQ – Hidden Wonders

The doors to the showroom open thirty minutes before showtime and the performance begins promptly at the designated hour. Absolutely no late admittance or refunds will be offered.

While we don’t enforce or even have a dress code, we do consider our venue to be a unique experience and ask that you dress to impress but you should also be comfortable. Please, just don’t dress like a slob.

Hidden Wonders is an incredible experience that we’d love for you to share with your family. The experience is not for small children and we do not permit preschoolers to attend so as to not disrupt our other guests, We recommend the show for children who are old enough to sit and appreciate a 75-minute show, like one would in a theater. Some families find this to be around 6 or 7 years old, but you know your child best. Be advised if your child is disruptive you will be asked to leave so others can continue to enjoy the experience.

Sure, if you’d like to capture a memory of a loved one or friend participating in the show, be our guest! We just ask that you do not use flash, or record long videos of the show to preserve the mystery for future guests. If you post a photo or video on social media, be sure to tag #hiddenwondersshow @magichampion

We believe so! Hidden Wonders was designed with Shawn’s Mother in mind, as she used a wheelchair due to several strokes. The front door has a ramp, all doors and entry points are a minimum of 32″ wide and although we have tiered seating, if notice is given in advance, we will accommodate guests with a wheelchair in the front row, VIP section, for the price of a General admission.  We have also hosted visually and hearing impaired guests who expressed that they enjoyed the experience immensely. We are far from perfect but will do our best to make every guest have a magical experience. Let us know your needs in advance and we will work with you to make the best experience possible.

All of the downtown core of New Westminster is metered parking. There are several parking spots on both sides of the road. If you prefer covered parking there is a lot at 800 Carnarvon Street, which is a few blocks away. As in any city, to help prevent theft, please leave no valuables in your vehicle.

All ticket sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be allowed on ticket sales.

Shawn previously traveled year-round performing both close-up interactive magic, as well as stage shows but is doing his best to stay locally. He performs for both private functions and corporate events. In addition, the Hidden Wonders showroom is also available for buy-outs!
