Love this place usually, but went in with my wife and daughters Saturday (checked girls' ages for suitability), at 17:30 - first people in, and took a table with some drinks waiting for the close up magician ("Dapper") to start his shift at 18:00, only for him to totally avoid eye contact with our party, work the tables around us, and ignore us completely. He knew we were there first, as it was just he and us in the bar for 25 minutes, and clearly bringing young people in is BECAUSE they want to see the wonder of the magic. We all left pretty annoyed and disappointed. Won't be hurrying back 🤷🧙♂️
Went to see the Magic and Comedy show. Dan Chard was the magician for the evening , he was amazing! Everything he did was magical and funny! I thought this would be a one off that we would attend but after this evenings act we will definitely be back to see more shows! Such a good evening, if your considering going to a show just book it you won’t be disappointed !
Came for the comedy magic show and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a little bit of magic in the bar beforehand which was a good warm-up to the show.
The room for the show was perfect in that it was intimate and we were all facing the stage on our own tables and could easily see the stage. The deal we booked involved prosecco and a shared pizza - both were very nice.
The magicians were very entertaining - got the audience involved, amazed us and made us laugh - what more could you want!
Great experience! Something different and very fun! I made a mistake on my booking and the customer service was responsive and helpful. Apart from a great performance, I felt the magicians genuinely wanted everyone to have an amazing time.
The pre show magician who goes table to table in the bar before the performance, maybe give them a card reader - it's a bit awkward if you don't have cash and they have a cup for tips
Great evening, went for my partners birthday and they had her on stage and it was great. Good mix of comedy and magic - perfect evening entertainment
Mid week Thursday magic trip to smoke and mirrors. Absolutely brilliant. Go see it. Mark Bennett was hilarious.
Great drink, brilliantly funny magic show with two magicians, amazing atmosphere.
If visits Bristol DO THIS, you will NOT be disappointed.
It's value for money!
This was our first visit to Smoke and Mirrors, and it definitely won't be our last! We had a fabulous evening - the house magician doing close up magic was really good, and was a great way to start the night. It was a sign of the high quality magic we were about to experience throughout the night, with Jaimie doing many impressive slight of hand and misdirection tricks right in front of us. Once it was time for the main show to begin, we were called through (although we nearly didn't as we had forgotten to register with the staff that we had arrived - make sure you do otherwise you won't be called through!), and were sat down at a table in a very cosy room - a really intimate gig but it enhanced the experience for us and made it feel really personal which was nice. Marc was fantastic and certainly knew what he was doing. We really enjoyed the show, and the show put on the guest performer of the night too. It never felt awkward or stilted, and we were made to feel welcome in the pub and for the show. Thanks for a great night and we hope to return soon!
Great place, love the stand-up comedy shows there. Lit comedians and fab waiters! Whether alone or with friends, be assured to have a fantastic time!
Really fun comedy magic show. Went here in big group and it worked so well for a night out!
