If you have questions about accessibility, we’d be happy to help. Just call the number below and reference the product code: 56226P3

  • Confirmation will be received at time of booking
  • Seats are assigned by the theater box office and will not be known in advance of the performance date
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult
  • If you fail to arrive by the start of the show which is stated above we will seat you during the interval,
  • VENUE TERMS & CONDITIONS
  • Entry to the pub is restricted to persons aged 18 years or over, unless attending a Booked Family Show or Kids Magic Master Class
  • We operate the "Challenge 25 scheme, therefore clubs reserve the right to request proof of age if you look under 25 you. (ID Accepted: Valid Passport or Valid Drivers Licence)
  • Although the venue will endeavour to have all your party on one table larger party's may be split across tables and smaller party's may be sharing their table with other parties.
  • DRUNK AND DISRUPTIVE CUSTOMERS
  • Customers who turn up on the door who we believe to be drunk will not be admitted. From experience, customers who are drunk even before the show has started are invariably problematic later on, usually heckling, talking during the show or just being a general nuisance.
  • If someone in the group you have organised is drunk at the door they will be refused entry without being refunded. This does not mean the whole group is refused entry but if you decide you don't wish to come in because one of your group has been turned away then that does not mean you are collectively entitled to a refund, if a member of your group is disruptive during the show, we will remove the said person without hesitation and no refunds will be given to anyone if you wish to leave with the disruptive guest, so we ask that you you respect all other guest and artists.
  • DURING THE SHOW
  • While we want you to enjoy our shows at Smoke & Mirrors it is important to remember that customers also need to consider other people in the room. So, bearing this in mind, we request that:
  • Most travellers can participate
  • Mobile phones are switched to silent during the show as making and receiving calls, including texting, is rude and inconsiderate.
  • There is no talking during the show as this is disruptive and annoying for those sat around you and for the performer.
  • There is no heckling or constant interruptions of the magicians or comedians. People have paid to listen to the act not to listen to someone else in the audience.
  • And finally, owing to the proliferation of portable recording devices, it is requested that customers don't make any audio or video recordings of acts or use flash photography during the show.
  • Customers who break these house rules will be asked politely to refrain from heckling or talking during the show. Persistent offenders will be asked to leave without being refunded.
  • PRIVATE BOOKINGS
  • Please note that if you are booking the whole theatre for an event we as a theatre will seat all guests and allocate tables as your guests arrive this helps with congestion within the theatre, we understand that some of your guests may not want to sit in the front row but as this is a Magic Show and not stand up comedy not one of your guests will be made to anything they do not wish to do, but we ask that your guests are informed that the show requires audience participation, so by informing your guests that they could be on stage would be of great help to the magicians, also if you have any thing the magicians need to know before the show we would be happy to pass this is on to the magicians to make sure the show is even more special.
  • BOOKINGS & CANCELLATIONS
  • No cancellations, alterations or reductions can be made, unless the venue is contacted 14 days prior to the performance date and will be at the venues discretion.
  • All bookings made will automatically be charged for the full amount with no cancellations, alterations or reductions. For security reasons we will require the card details, used in the booking, for any alterations, reductions or cancellations. we do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.
  • No refunds will be given if you decide to leave at any point of the show, we cannot please all customers, so please read the description of the artist and decide if this artist is for you before attending the show.

    Fun immersive experience!
    This was such a fun night for us. We really loved the venue and the friendliness all around. We got ourselves some drinks when we arrived and were lucky enough to be greeted by a very good magician, who showed us some really cool card tricks. He left us with a little memento from the experience, which I loved. The show was so entertaining, split into two talented acts and held in an intimate room at the back. I have to admit, I was super nervous after realising that the show would be audience interactive! But getting involved was great fun and I am so glad that we came. Thank you for the laughs, we will be back again!

    Excellent Entertainment
    Walked through the door, and was amazed by the venue. Welcomed by a member of the bar staff, and found a seat. The house close up magician Seb was moving around the tables performing close up magic right in front of us, what a perfect touch. We were called into a small theatre,with space for around 40 people, Mark Bennett was the Comedy Magician, who welcomed us all. The show was professional, very entertaining and had great interaction with the audience. I would recommend to anyone to go and visit, and I would definitely visit again if I was in the area again. Fabulous evening, great value

    Nice venue, food and drink but tickets over priced.
    Loved the venue small and intermate, drinks and food were good value. Sadly we felt the ticket price of ÂŁ30 pounds a ticket is way to high and for 2 hours entertainment over priced, so for this reason would not go again which is a shame.

    Fantastic show!
    Really enjoyed the show!. I liked the fact there were only 30 people watching and it felt really intimate. The comedians were fantastic and they got to know everyone and included each and every member of the audience! I laughed my way through the whole thing. I would definitely go back!

    Great experience.
    This was our best ever firms Christmas event. On arrival we greeted and given drinks tokens with a run through of what to expect. The table magician, Jaie Blunt was very good, as were the comedy / magic shows- Hilarious! The singer, in the bar later kept everyone entertained. This is a small and intimate venue where everything happens in front of your eyes. The only complaint from my people was the poor quality pizzas, cold+hard. I would ask that you pass on to the chef that a cheese and tomato pizza is not a Margarita. Perhaps you have to be Italian to know how important this is.

My daughter and I had a wonderful evening. We were greeted warmly and were well looked after throughout. We booked the package including a pizza and two drinks each, which was good value as we were offered a 20% discount using a promotional code.
The table magician before the show was really good. I think the chap was called Jaie. He also did table magic after the show. An added bonus was live music after the show in the bar area by Rhiannon. She was great.
We ordered our drinks on arrival (which included cocktails), and our pizza was freshly made with adapted ingredients to suit us. The show theatre is small but just right to create a good atmosphere. We were sitting at a front table and could literally rest our feet on the raised stage. It was intimate but not claustrophobic. Just perfect. There were two excellent magicians who included us all without being pushy. During the interval we returned to the main bar to find our freshly made pizza waiting for us. I would highly recommend the experience if you enjoy magic in an intimate and welcoming location.

If you are thinking about going to see this show, weather your local or not local to Bristol I cannot recommend this show enough. It's a lovely atmosphere even if you get pulled on stage lol.
The magic was incredible I don't know what I was expecting but the talent was next level. Just go & watch it. I guarantee you will have the best time xo

Quirky, friendly bar tucked round the back of the Hippodrome - recommend booking the show as not expensive and worth it for entertainment value. Small and intimate setting but no pressure to be involved. Slick performers with good atmosphere.

The magicians' skill was very high, but lots of things let the evening down. We were sat sharing our table with another couple with the seats not easy to turn to face the stage and so we couldn't sit together as a couple, and due to the front row of seats being full and close to the stage, we couldn't see a lot of the show as it was behind people's heads, including the 'grand finale'. There were a lot of crass jokes and it felt like we were 20 years in the past given the style of humour. The sound of the mikes was going in and out so we couldn't clearly hear what was being said for most of the show. Our pizzas were dry, small and a bit flavourless during the interval. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing evening.

An excellent night of magic combined with comedy. The house magicians performed so brilliantly that the audience was fully engaged and couldn't wait to be involved when they were asked. Everyone had a great time and will definitely be returning again soon. Can highly recommend this venue if looking for some top entertainment.

Not sure what I was letting myself in for when I entered the old pub .
It was a joy from beginning to end , easily ordered a pint and checked in by the staff at the same time .
You are handed a small beeper to alert you to show time . We sat down and were entertained by a slick magician for a few minutes .
The beeper lit up and we were ushered to a small table in an intimate room with a stage .
The room filled up and the curtains opened and the show began .
It's a very good comedy magic show with lots of gentle audience participation .
Dan opened with some laugh out loud moments then Mark took to the stage and blew everyone's mind .
I can see why they have so many 5 star reviews ... just book it you won't be disappointed .

Exceeded expectations - very good show. My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed it as a spontaneous date night.
Magician in the bar was also a great touch which we enjoyed, as well as the live music after the show.
Only negatives were that the drinks were slightly off (Guinness and Heineken), and it seemed better value to buy from Groupon rather than direct from S&M.
Would definitely recommend and would go again for another show.

The show was outstanding! Both performers had such great interactions with the crowd and definitely knew how to read the room . We were sat in the front row so had a close up view of all tricks . You will definitely leave bemused /amazed . Can’t remember the last time I laughed so much
Epic show

We opted for a show at Smoke and Mirrors for our Festive Party evening entertainment. For a group of 40 people from all over the UK, with lots of different personalities, it was a bit of a gamble especially having never been there before and it being something "a bit different".
Thankfully the show did live up to the fab reviews and everybody really enjoyed it! Mark really read the room well, had everyone laughing and engaged which was exactly what we were hoping for!
Highly recommended!

What an excellent evening’s entertainment, in a great venue. It’s small and intimate and because of this the crowd are always involved in the show.

The evening started with Mad Mark, who was superb, doing close up card tricks, in the bar - very talented bloke.

Onto the main event with Chris & Richard, who again were both very good and funny. Lots of fun and laughter plus astonishment to how these tricks were down.

Would definitely come again and would thoroughly recommend this evening out
