Intimate close-up magic is Jim Bodine's craft — a small room, a close audience and astonishment unfolding inches from the people watching. In 2026/2027 the show reaches its 11th consecutive season, and it is rated 5.0★ across Google reviews and 5.0★ on Tripadvisor.
Guests are involved in the show throughout, with Jim and his wife working the room as a team: an egg that vanishes, a Rubik's cube feat that seems impossible, and simple beginnings that turn into amazing results. Audiences call him a master at his craft and an excellent showman, and families single out the attention he gives younger guests. It is a show for holidaymakers, family groups and any gathering that wants magic close enough to touch.
