This Magic Show by Ivan is so entertaining and as the title suggests, intimate. Ivan connects with you in his own intimate way by his humor and interaction with the audience. He delivers everything you want and plus in a magic show. His lovely assistant provides the mood music while Ivan gives us the humor, mystifying illusions and leaves you... More

I first saw Ivan perform at the Magic Castle and was so entertained, that I made it a point to come back again and again during each of his performances. Despite seeing him about half a dozen times at the Castle, I felt it necessary to pay to see his show and was glad that I did. Since I'm a... More

Top notch show! See Ivan before he goes big time. What a great time. This show has it all, laughs, illusion, tricks and more. Excellent venue. Who doesn't like the Beverly Wilshire. See the show before he gets famous and ticket prices triple!

It is obvious he gets a thrill out of stunning his audience by how much thought, detail, and perfection goes into each and every trick. I have taken several friends to see his show and each one has walked out completely hooked!!!! I highly... More

The magic is really amazing. I go to the Magic Castle a lot, and have seen other magic shows around town, and Ivan's show is one of the best I've... More

My biggest gripe is the price, for $70, that is like a vegas show. It is at a very fancy hotel and if money isn't an issue, I would say definitely worth going. if you eat and get valet validation at restaurant, only $12, vs "event" validation which is $16. 1dress code. although website makes it look very formal, many...

I brought 34 guests as a super birthday celebration, and all have gotten back to me saying how thrilled they were with Ivan's show! Even more, several are returning for more -- the ultimate compliment. Ivan and his cellist were both fabulous. If you want magic spiced with very funny comedy and ultimate entertainment, you will love this evening of... More

it was truly an intimate magic experience. very private and Ivan gets everyone involved during the show! Ivan makes every person in the crow feel like they are part of the magic show. He does spend a lot of time talking, but that is not a bad thing at all. Most magic shows waste their time playing loud music to... More
