Hidden Wonders Speakeasy Magic Experience

Hidden Wonders is a speakeasy-style performance venue hidden behind a fake business facade in New Westminster’s historic downtown. It is part of a new trend in magic entertainment that focuses

less on grand-scale illusions and more on intimate experiences that leave the audience awestruck and moved. Confirmed guests will only be given the address for the venue once their tickets have been purchased.

Experience:

The seventy-five-minute magic experience features effects exclusively designed for the venue as well as several of the effects Shawn created to win the world championship and to fool Vegas’s Penn & Teller twice on their hit television show Fool Us.

The goal is to offer an intimate and exclusive up close and personal magic experience that is unparalleled. Hidden Wonders’ track record of continuously selling out shows is a positive indication that this trend is certain to continue as tickets are disappearing fast.

Performer:

Shawn Farquhar, Two-Time World Champion of Magic, has appeared on TV shows including Ellen, Masters of Illusion, and Fool Us, where he became the first magician to fool Penn & Teller twice on their hit show. Shawn’s magic can be seen on Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube where many of his videos have been viewed millions of times! Shawn’s performed in more than forty countries including extensive tours of China, Europe, and Japan as well as shows in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and off-Broadway in New York. His infectious attitude and amazing magic will leave you breathless.

FAQ:

WHEN SHOULD WE ARRIVE?

The doors to the showroom open thirty minutes before showtime and the performance begins promptly at the designated hour. Absolutely no late admittance or refunds will be offered.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

While we don’t enforce or even have a dress code, we do consider our venue to be a unique experience and ask that you dress to impress but you should also be comfortable. Please, just don’t dress like a slob.

ARE CHILDREN WELCOME TO ATTEND?

Yes! Hidden Wonders is an incredible experience that we’d love for you to share with your family. We recommend the show for children who are old enough to sit and appreciate a 75-minute show, like one would in a theater. Some families find this to be around 7 years old, but you know your child best. We also have Sunday matinee shows which are best suited for families.

IS HIDDEN WONDERS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL?

We believe so! Hidden Wonders was designed with Shawn’s Mother in mind, as she used a wheelchair due to several strokes. The front door has a ramp, all doors and entry points are a minimum of 32″ wide and although we have tiered seating, if notice is given in advance, we will accommodate guests with a wheelchair in the front row, VIP section, for the price of a General admission. We have also hosted visually and hearing impaired guests who expressed that they enjoyed the experience immensely. We are far from perfect but will do our best to make every guest have a magical experience. Let us know your needs in advance and we will work with you to make the best experience possible.

DO YOU PERMIT VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE PERFORMANCE?

Sure, if you’d like to capture a memory of a loved one or friend participating in the show, be our guest! We just ask that you do not use flash, or record long videos of the show to preserve the mystery for future guests. If you post a photo or video on social media, be sure to tag #hiddenwondersshow @magichampion.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?

There are no refunds or exchanges once tickets are purchased. 

CAN I ENGAGE SHAWN FARQUHAR TO PERFORM AT MY EVENT?

Shawn previously traveled year-round performing both close-up interactive magic, as well as stage shows but is doing his best to stay locally. He performs for both private functions and corporate events. In addition, the Hidden Wonders showroom is also available for buy-outs!
