Hidden Wonders Speakeasy Magic Experience

Concealed behind a fake business facade, this hidden gem is part of a new trend in magic entertainment focusing on intimate, awe-inspiring performances rather than grand-scale illusions. 

Experience Details

Visitors can expect a cozy, welcoming environment at Hidden Wonders. The doors to the showroom open thirty minutes before showtime, and performances begin promptly at the designated hour, with no late admittance. While there is no strict dress code, guests are encouraged to dress to impress while remaining comfortable.

Hidden Wonders welcomes families, recommending the show for children old enough to sit through a 75-minute performance, similar to a theater experience. Sunday matinee shows are particularly suited for families. The venue is also designed to be accessible to all, with ramps, wide doors, and tiered seating that can accommodate guests with mobility needs.

The Experience

Show Highlights

The seventy-five-minute magic experience features effects exclusively designed for the venue, as well as several of the effects Shawn created to win the World Championship and to fool Penn & Teller. The goal is to offer an intimate, unparalleled magic experience that continuously leaves audiences amazed. The venue’s track record of sold-out shows indicates the growing popularity and appeal of this unique form of entertainment.

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.
