Overview

This is a walking tour that is also a walking magic show with little bits of history to keep it classy. There is no other tour like this on the east coast. More importantly, our customers rave about the experience, check out our 5-star reviews.

The tour is the creation of Robert Malissa a native of Philly and an award-winning magician. The tour took two years to create. All the presentations are completely original and a number of the tricks are original creations developed specifically for the tour.

Rob is the winner of the Philadelphia Houdini Award and a recipient of both stage and close-up magic awards from the Society of American Magicians.
