Since 2015, a unique kind of magic has been happening every week in Ottawa—not on a grand stage or in a theater, but upstairs at the legendary Prescott Hotel and Restaurant. This isn’t your typical night out. It’s an intimate, 80-minute magic show created specifically for adults, blending world-class sleight of hand, mentalism, and storytelling into one unforgettable experience. It’s not a kids’ magic show dressed up for adults—this is smart, engaging entertainment designed to leave grown-ups laughing, amazed, and genuinely surprised.
The venue itself adds to the charm. The Prescott, one of Ottawa’s most iconic establishments, provides the perfect backdrop: casual, cozy, and full of character. The show takes place in a private upstairs space that keeps the audience close to the magic—literally. With a limited number of seats, every guest is part of the action, and no two performances are ever quite the same. It’s personal, up-close, and full of those “how did that just happen?” moments that make live magic so fun to watch.
Over the years, this weekly magic show has built a loyal following and continues to draw in new guests looking for something different to do in Ottawa. Whether you’re planning a date night, a small group outing, or just want to shake up your week with something unexpected, this show delivers. Tickets are available online and tend to sell out, so if you’re looking for an evening of smart, interactive entertainment in one of Ottawa’s most historic spots, this is it.
