Neighbourhood: Central Business District
The Sydney Central Business District is abuzz with energy. Power brokers run to and from high rise buildings and after-work drink places, high-end shoppers tour venues like the QVB, and fine diners frequent the many celebrity chef restaurants. For a dose of culture, walk to the NSW Art Gallery, or visit the Sydney Museum. To escape the hustle and bustle, reconnect with nature at the Sydney Botanical Gardens or picnic lunch at High Park. No matter your interest, be sure to check the full calendar of events hosted by the city, from the Sydney Festival in January to October’s Good Food Month at Hyde Park.

- wendykainMazatlan, Mexico123 contributionsTwo magician followers from way back wholeheartedly recommend this show. Go quickly.My partner and I have seen many magicians and magic shows, nonetheless we were seriously impressed by this show. I kept turning to see my partner's mouth dropping open with amazement. It was completely professional from start to finish, and the following day we continued to be overwhelmed by the brilliance of it all. Very highly recommended. And it's in a gorgeous old hotel.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 3 November 2023

One example is the 19:03 start time, whilst the actual performance begins a bit after that. This allows all to arrive and nor disturb the performance with late arrivals; bonus is yummy snacks and champagne. His hostess comes around and asks some questions.

- 634geoff1 contributionElegant setting, spending a night heightening the imaginationFirst time ever at a magic/ illusion show. The story telling was well rehearsed. The tricks were amazing and a few very spectacular - especially the number in the box. The hostess Libby was engaging and friendly . I give the show a rating of 5 but the canapes only a rating of 3. For the price there should be more canapes, so I recommend an improvement there.Visited February 2024Written 5 February 2024

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a wonderful evening. I took my 13 year old grandson to see the show and it was all smiles. He loves magic, has seen other live shows and has learnt many tricks himself, from his father and some on YouTube. We loved the stories, the way they were put across and it had our full attention during the whole performance.
The venue was incredible and most fitting:) Overall we had such a lovely night. Highly recommended and thank you!

Not only did he show why he is a worthy member of the Select Magician's Club, when I thought I knew how he did some tricks, he did them so masterfully, they were so seamless they make you believe magic is real. Some were brilliantly conceived, and executed. Even experienced magic-goers gasped at the skill. And he mixed humour with world wise philosophy. Go! Be Amazed and entertained!

The Gentleman Magician’s Magical Soirée was a good show, which relied heavily on this magician’s skills rather than fancy props. The acts were skilfully executed and left this audience member beguiled and questioning what I had just seen. On one level the acts appear to be simple, but there was no doubt the Bruce Glen was “good at being deceitful”. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience!!

My wife and I attended Bruce's show last weekend at the Sir Stamford Hotel. In an intimate setting he entertained and amused us for nearly 90 minutes, with a style of magic I've not seen before. Most of it was close up, which is very difficult to do with an audience, but Bruce pulled it off brilliantly. I can I highly recommend this performance.

We went to this show for my boyfriends birthday and we had an excellent time. The show is interactive, engaging and will leave you in awe. The hostess was also great in getting everyone comfortable and mingling. Would recommend as a gift, group outing or date night.

A chance sighting of a sign in the street led us to book for this event. We were promised champagne and hors d'oeuvre prior to the show. What we got was commercial bought items and glass of sparking wine... not what I would have expected have expected from a top class hotel. The show itself was mundane and at times boring and frankly we were glad when it ended.
