Attractions
Hester’s Theatre of Magic
An intimate magic parlor seating just 53 guests, Hester’s Theatre of Magic delivers a live performance experience that holds up for both skeptical adults and young kids.
Owner and performer Chris Hester runs shows that mix classic illusions, comedy, and audience participation in a way that works at close range. The small venue creates moments of genuine mystery that larger theaters can’t reproduce. Fog effects, dramatic music, and periods of darkness give the show a theatrical quality well above what you’d expect from a small-town attraction.
VIP front-row seating at $34.95 includes complimentary popcorn and more direct interaction during the show. General admission runs $29.95 for adults and $24.95 for children 3-12. The venue is small and shows fill quickly, so advance ticket purchase is essential.
