There are no quarters being pulled from ears or silly tricks meant for kids at the region’s wildest magic show. St. Pete’s Zubrick Magic Theatre (1211 1st Ave N) is a premier magical experience, with truly mind-boggling feats, and interactive performances that will have even the most skeptical of adults on their feet with applause. Just a short drive into downtown St. Pete, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.
As luck would have it, now is the best time of year to see these award-winning shows in person. Performances during peak months always sell out in advance – with good reason. Now, with the spring break rush behind us, it’s the perfect time to catch a Zubrick show inside their intimate theater. And when we say intimate, we mean up-close views of some of the craziest magic you’ve seen, no matter which seat you’re in. No spoilers, but we’ve often found ourselves asking not only “how did they do that?”, but also, “how in the world did they even fit that inside?”

We’ve been to double-digit performances over the years, and just as no show is like the one before it, no experience is ever the same, no matter how many times you go. Every instance offers new immersive thrills and wonders, and no matter how hard we try, we still can’t figure out how they pull off these feats of magic (and they’ve politely declined to reveal their secrets, no surprise).
Over 1,000 5-star reviews for Zubrick
Of course, all shows are family-friendly performances. It is a family-run theatre, after all. But make no mistake – Zubrick has elementary students and PhD candidates alike in awe. They’ll make you laugh nearly as often as they make you gasp, making it a show that is truly stellar for all ages.
For anyone on the fence, we recommend taking a moment to read any of the 1,300+ five-star reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, or Yelp. This isn’t your average “silly” magic show. Zubrick Magic Theatre puts on a Las Vegas-caliber performance: sophisticated, immersive, and jaw-dropping.
Plus, as we mentioned above, now is the perfect time to catch a show. These spring and summer months, the cool theatre offers a lovely respite from the heat, while the spectacular shows provide blockbuster-level entertainment. Reservations for seats can be made here, and this time of year with the tourist crowds abated, you may even be able to snag seats day-of.
Shows at Zubrick Magic Theatre take place every Friday and Saturday at 7 pm, while matinee shows take place every Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets start at $49.99, though we definitely recommend the VIP tickets for first-timers. Those get a guaranteed front row seat, plus one beverage, one concession item, and special gift after the show. See the full schedule and get tickets here.
Speaking of food and drink – you can easily make it an adults night out with their selection of local craft beers and house wines. And kids will always be thrilled with theater classics: soda, popcorn and candy to their heart’s delight.
