About
Join Magician Sean Doolan for "Magic on Main - An Intimate Parlor Experience", a magic show in his private library located in a historic building on Main Street in Windham, New York. Sean will weave his very personal story of transitioning from a trial lawyer to a magician in interactive, mind-blowing magical routines. In this parlor show, Sean will demonstrate the limitations of the human mind through techniques he learned as a student of the ancient art of sleight of hand, and a lifetime as a trial lawyer. Visit the website for the schedule! Show is approximately 60 minutes long, and appropriate for ages 10 and up. Our venue seats up to 10 people. If your group is greater than 10, we have partnerships with other Main Street businesses where we can perform for your party. No walk-ins, please reserve your seats in advance - see website for reservation details. Special weekday pricing for seniors, veterans and their companions! Parking is available on-site.

- Melanie CMelbourne, Australia53 contributionsThe highlight of our family trip to the US!This is a long overdue review for what was a clear highlight of our family trip from Australia to the US 🤩 I contacted Sean & Christine via email from Australia a couple of months before our schedule trip overseas to see if we could have a private show for the nine of us in our group. They were super accommodating and even managed to move our booking when I realized that the first date wasn’t going to work due to delayed flights. What resulted was a Boxing Day show that will never be forgotten. We absolutely loved it! The combination of Sean’s exceptional skill & charismatic delivery had our whole group completely fixated for the entire duration of the show. We’ve been raving about it ever since - Do not hesitate in booking this brilliant experience! We LOVED it!Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 9, 2025

What an amazing experience! We had such a wonderful time. We were so happy that we didn’t miss the opportunity and decided to go. Setting was small and interactive with only max of 10 people, It was exciting, thought provoking content and skilled magician who put a big smile on the rainy day :) I would highly recommend this. One of a kind .
Thank you !

I originally saw Sean’s magic show in December. The show was great so when my son was visiting this March I made sure we fit it into our itinerary. We weren’t disappointed, my son was very impressed as was I. There were a few new magic tricks I hadn’t seen and Sean is very entertaining. Highly recommend, even if it’s your second time around.

This show, and Sean, is amazing-- he easily kept my entire family's attention the whole time and we were in utter awe of his magic skills. Do not hesitate at all on this one- it's so fun and fascinating, we couldn't stop discussing it for hours afterwards! Even my discerning 10 and 13 year old LOVED it! Can't recommend it enough! The perfect way to cap off a fun day in Windham. So glad we went for it and gave it a try!

If you believe in magic, or even if you do not this is a place you must visit. Magic on Main is a unique and intimate experience. Sean Doolan performs his illusions so convincingly that you will be certain that there is an element of the supernatural at work. The shows are performed in the library of his home in small groups which allows him to have direct interaction with his audience. Sean's entry into magic is an interesting story; some of which he shares with you. This is a must if you are planning on spending some time in Windham, it is also worth coming to Windham as a destination in itself. Participating in Sean's magic was a great experience which my wife and I plan on repeating. Thank you Sean. If you are in need of any information regarding the area, Sean's wife Christine is a wealth of knowledge.

A must do for your next trip to the Windham area. Book a private magic show with Sean in his private library located in a historic building on Main Street in the heart of town. Interactive and appropriate for all ages. Sean takes old school magic to the next level. Even as he explains that magic is all about misdirection and slight of hand your mind will be blown. The best part is the personalized touch and experiencing Sean’s love of magic along with him. This show will not disappoint.

My kids and I absolutely loved the show and Sean was just mind-blowing. We kept staring at each other in disbelief at the amazing tricks. There is one trick that we still talk about and we have not only a memory but a memento of the time we were captivated by this amazing and intimate show. We know that this was one of the most memorable shows we have attended.

I went into to this as a total skeptic thinking this was only for kids- WRONG...Wonderful for adults and children alike. Sean does an excellent job doing something that is so unique experience wise. He is funny and has excellent memory recall during the show for audience members names which makes it have even more of a heightened sense of audience participation. He throughly enjoys what he is presenting while moving the show at a good pace. I appreciated the subtle nods to psychology during his show. Over all a spectacular job and worth seeing several times! Great brain food!

Sean is a extremely engaging story teller who drew us into his magic. I like how he involved us all. He is truly a talented magician who performs an up close show. It was a great value and fun night.
