Kozy is an excellent magician who performs magic that will blow you away. My friends and I attended an intimate Saturday evening show (~9 people) and were astounded by every single trick! I'll definitely remember this magic show as a highlight of my trip to Kona and would strongly recommend checking it out during your time on the Big Island.
I also want to highlight how incongruous I found a previous review to be. Multiple attendees of my show were BIPOC (myself included) and under 30 years old, and we felt that Kozy was nothing but energetic, inclusive, and engaging with every single audience member. The intimacy of this show is unparalleled and you can really feel the magic up close. I would definitely come again!

While planning a Kona, HI vacation I came across Kozy’s comedy and magic show. I saw such a high volume of positive reactions to it while researching online that I had to see for myself. At first I was surprised by the more intimate nature of his small-audience BYOB showroom, but I think the fact that it was small made the magic better. About a third of the audience members (including myself) were able to go up onstage to be part of a magic trick. I was waiting for Kozy to do something to accidentally give away the secret to his tricks, but I have honestly never been so close to being convinced of magic being real as I’ve been while watching him! I’d really recommend it especially if you like high audience participation and being very entertained!

Kozy was absolutely amazing revealing things about people in the audience that he could not have possibly known. Old-time magic at its greatest! If you want to laugh and be amazed book for you and your friends and family you'll be talking about it for days to come. It was right up there with swimming with the manta rays.
We will definitely go again. Thank you so much cozy for sharing your wonderful gifts with us.👁🐇🔮⚾🛩 I will keep my quarter always in a special secret place.
Okay people Kozy was so good that my boyfriend wants to put something also:
KOZY had sacred teachings, a magic blowing one's mind with the all seeing eye. Eye to eye-mind to super subconscious truly was a blessing in a special occasion. The best entertainment on the big island of Hawaii! Big love to you much success.
Blessings,
Shawn and Jennifer

Kozy moved from the Mauna Lani Center in the Mauna Lani Resort to Queens Marketplace in Waikoloa, a 10 minute drive to the south! He now has a more intimate showroom and his show focuses on close magic. The seating is really close to him. I was sitting just 4 feet away from him and have no idea how he does these tricks. This man is a truly gifted magician. I was laughing the entire time. If you want a really fun evening with a Vegas quality act, Kona Kozy will not disappoint. I've seen his show at least five time in the past few years, and each one is different. Another testament to Kozy's skills.

We visited Kosy’s show on my wife’s birthday as part of our Kona vacation. When we arrived I didn’t know what to expect as this was not your typical venue for a magic and comedy show but don’t let the venue throw you the show was amazing. Kozy does such a great job of making every audience member feel like a part of the show and never makes anyone uncomfortable. His skill as a magician is fantastic, he made the two hours fly by and we could not have had a better time. If you are on Kona you will not be sorry if you spend a few hours of your time with Kozy! Thanks for making our evening and vacation so special and memorable.

Kozy’s show was unbelievable. His banter with the crowd (less than 20 people max) and amazing tricks and slight of hand are jaw dropping. Had the pleasure of two of his friends from years ago being in our audience and it just added to the banter. Totally amazing, the 90 minutes fly by, ever person in the audience he remembers by name and is involved in the show, and it’s BYOB. Best deal on the island!! Do over ever time I’m in Kona (with or without Kevin 🤣)

I worked on the entertainment staff of a major cruise line and have seen plenty of magic comedy/magic acts. Kozy certainly has wit and showmanship. He starts off with some standard slight of hand stuff. But that’s where his similarity with the others pretty much ends. He has some kind of highly developed powers of perception and reading people. I’ve also seen a few psychics in my time and they’re grade school compared to Koz. He also seems to have some sort of exceptional memory (photographic?) Not going to spoil by going into too much detail of specifics of what we saw, but it’s safe to say that other magicians would be downright surprised by a lot of what they would see Kozy do. Go see it for yourself. RECOMMENDED.

Found Kona Kozy's Comedy and Magic show while getting my Haircut at KOR Salon in the Queen's Marketplace while visiting Hawaii. The staff at KOR Salon highly recommended Kozy's for a fun night of entertainment and laughter.
I booked the show for the following night and so glad we did.
The venue is amazingly decorated with a very intimate feeling and has you feeling your in a Tiki Palace in the South Pacific.
Kozy greet's you individually and put's you at ease telling you that you will be involved in his show, but will not be embarrassed.
Once the show starts be prepared to laugh more than you have in a long time and be amazed at his magic. I haven't laughed so much in a long time, nor been amazed at his magic, asking myself over and over "How did he do that?"
You will truly love his show and will tell friends over and over about his magic. I'm still trying to figure out how he pulled off some of his magic two weeks later.
This is a must stop for a evening out in the Kona/Waikoloa area while visiting the Islands.
P.S. Kona let's you bring in your own drinks and mixers to the show, so there's nothing else to buy once you get your ticket.
Thank you Kozy for a great night and entertainment!

I highly recommend this show. Kozy is a great entertainer, and will definitely give you a night of laughter and a truly astonishing performance that'll have you asking how is that possible over and over through the show. I rarely, if ever, write reviews, but this is a show I'd highly recommend any visitor to the big island make plans to enjoy.

By far the best magic I've ever seen, that left me completely in disbelief. The venue and audience was small, making the show feel personal. If you're in the area and you don't see it, you're seriously missing out.

Aloha This is Kozy, my show is an Adult Comedy & Magic Show, 18 years and up. I'm not dirty, no "F" Bombs, no Political Humor.
There is light adult cussing and innuendo. My Magic is Adult, sophisticated, intellectual Magic. A small child would be bored with me. I'm not a kiddy Magician. During certain times of the year when we have more family's here, I'll loosen up the age to 13-14 and above in they are on the mature side. I'm a professional and always adjust my show and presentation to the audience in front of me. I always talk to everyone as they come in, and I'm always available to take a phone call to discuss your concerns....Aloha, Kozy

Kozy - Wow we are bummed that there are not any shows until April 1st. That is the day we are going back to Michigan. How do we find out if you reopen before then?
The reviews we have read are fabulous. Again, we are bummed. We are in Fairway Villas across from Queens Marketplace for our six week stay so easy walk to Queen's.
