Address
Neighborhood: Stare Mesto (Old Town)
One of the oldest neighborhoods in town represents the medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background, is probably the most beautiful square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and squares, and stone towers blend together with the modern era. A vast array of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, international brand shops, galleries and hotels bring life to the old city. With its charming and picturesque cobblestone streets, the nightlife and parties will surely be unforgettable.

- plumtree2939 contributionsA great evening outIf you are looking for something else in addition to great food for the evening this is an excellent choice. Centrally located near the Old Town Square, gives forty somethings like me a chance to go in a venue that you would otherwise probably not go into. Great selection of reasonably priced cocktails and a great show. No queuing for drinks, as you are waited on at your table while you are seated comfortably and greatly intrigued and entertained by an enthralling show from beginning to end.Visited January 2020Written February 5, 2020
- Egor1 contributionMagnificent show, great hostThat was a wonderful evening. Jonathan was highly entertaining and fun to watch and listen. True professional of his craft. Main point of the show, as for me, was audience participation. Everybody had their moment of glory. Cannot recommend it highly enough!Visited December 2019Written January 14, 2020
- David GPrague, Czech Republic4 contributionsWorth a check!such a great performance! i'd call this show a Prague's hidden attraction! nice venue with intimate atmosphere. i've been living in prague for 4 years, and honestly ran out of cool 'things to do in prague', glad i stumbled across the ad of prague illusion. me and my date really loved it!Visited February 2019Traveled with friendsWritten January 22, 2020
- Deepak FarmaniaGurgaon District, India51 contributionsMindblowing, unbelievable and very intimate show with small audienceForget all magic show or illusionists you would have seen before. This special show is designed for smaller audience which happens in a club. All tricks are superb and the person is great with good energy and joy.

- Ian CBelfast, United Kingdom27 contributionsExcellent!Well worth a visit. Small, intimate venue. The audience participation throughout the show included most who were there! Many of the illusions were standards (catching a bullet, swallowing razor blades, levitating lady), but most were baffling! Excellent show!Visited November 2019Written November 10, 2019
- Louise B3 contributionsReview of Illusion showVery disappointed. Show was entertaining but left with burn mark. Uses a lot of people from the crowd to participate. Please be warned - see burn left on my arm after getting up to help with part of the magic show. No real care from the magician that what ever he had put on me had burnt me just sent back into the crowd once the ‘trick’ was complete. Air conditioning also on full blast and extremely cold asked politely if it could be turned down but it stayed as it was.This is the illusionist Jonathan. Firstly, I am terribly sorry you experienced this. When I asked you if you were okay on stage you said yes and smiled, so I assumed you were, my mistake not following up after the show. There was honestly nothing intentionally put on you to do something like that, but never the less I can see how this would ruin anyone’s experience. Regarding air conditioning we will make sure we pay more attention to that, so thanks for bringing this to our attention as well.Written November 18, 2019This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2019Traveled with friendsWritten October 27, 2019

Unique and very professional show. It is just excellent, well organized and very engaging. The show is held in a private venue where people are seated at tables and served special cocktails. The show itself is impeccable, very amusing and complex. The magician is a passionate man who loves what he does and does it perfectly! His act keeps you engaged during the whole show, because you don’t want to miss a thing. The two hours fly by like half an hour and you keep wanting more even when the show ends. It truly is worth its price as I think in US such a show would cost way more than this. Fantastic show!

first of all i came with really big expectations due to the high rates here, and as is the case with expectations, you can burn easily. here is what bothered me: the minute we entered i saw a writing on the wall that stated a much lower price for the tickets than the price i payed for them. i payed 500 kronas for a ticket, and on the wall it was half the price, which was annoying. also, i realized that since it is a lounge bar, the good sits, which were few, were already taken. and last is the fact that i expected a kind of a lavish huge magic show, and this was not it. it had tricks, yes, but the show wasn't there. overall i felt really disappointed, because i felt i was misled. so this is for your information: no big shinny magic tricks, more like Uri Geler style.

Dear Gila,
This is Jonathan the illusionist I am very sorry it was not what you expected. I would like to clear a few things up. Most importantly you feeling mislead.
The Sign-
The sign you saw was a black sign with white letters that says-“200czk men 100czk Ladies 500 VIP” that sign is a general entry for entering the night club AFTER the show and has no relation to the illusion show at all.
We do not, and never have charged 250czk at the door, the price at the door is the exact same 500czk you pay online.
I can totally understand how you mistook it and we will be sure to cover it next time. If you could please revise this part of your review I would really appreciate it because if a sign like that existed, it would be false advertising and I would never do that.
There is both a promo video and photos of my show on the website explaining exactly what the show is about.
No misleading descriptions exist in our ads, photos or videos if you find something please let us know so we can correct it.
On my poster I am levitating a woman and in the show I levitate a woman the same way.
Again I am very sorry you felt misled I never intended that.
If you can kindly provide me with your contact in next few days, I would like to send you and your guest an official M1 Lounge Prague T shirt and refund your tickets in full. You can email me directly to pragueillusion@yahoo.com.
I will send you a photo of the sign you mistook for show rates so you can verify I am telling you the truth, and my only promo video so you can see exactly how the show is advertised.
Thank you very much for your review.
