Circus and magic reviews

Acts, wow factor, staging, pace: the audience rates circus and magic shows.

On MyCritik, circus and magic show reviews are written by the audience after the performance: an overall rating out of 5, a comment and optional ratings for the acts, the wow factor, the staging and the pace.

Contemporary circus, traditional big-top circus, acrobatics, mentalism, grand illusion or close-up magic: choose your town or city below to see upcoming shows, or search for a venue near you.

What reviews tell you before you book:

Were you amazed, or disappointed? Review the show, with or without an account. A tip: describe the effect, without revealing how the tricks are done.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I read circus show reviews?

On the show or company page on MyCritik, which gathers the average rating and audience reviews from past performances. The “Acts” and “Wow factor” ratings sum up the impression left at a glance, and the venue page shows comfort, view and access.

Is a magic show suitable for children?

Many are, but not all: mentalism or some grand illusion shows are aimed more at adults, and length matters for younger children. Check the age given by the organiser and read reviews from parents. The family show reviews page also offers a selection designed for children.

Can I reveal a magic trick in a review?

Best not: giving away a secret spoils the surprise for future audiences and the artist’s work. Describe the atmosphere, the effect on the room, the humour or the staging instead. A good review makes people want to go without giving anything away.

Should I book a seat close to the stage for a magic show?

For close-up magic, being near the performer changes the experience; for grand illusion or circus, an overall view from a slightly raised seat is often better. The “View” criterion in reviews helps you choose depending on the venue.

How do I review a circus or magic show?

Go to the write a review page, find the show and the date, then give a rating from 1 to 5. A review can be posted as soon as the performance has started, without creating an account, and you can edit it afterwards. With an account, you can also post your photos on the date’s page.
