No Magic

  • May 14, 2008
  • Rated 1 of 5 by WorkingStiff from Portland, Oregon
After hearing a few friends say that this was "the thing to do" in Lahaina, we booked tickets. We could not have been more disappointed. Rude service and a mean spirited "magician" was the order of the night. I would have liked to see the show in its prime or even on the way up, because clearly the long run has taken a toll. The price seemed fair by mainland big city or resort standards until we saw the act.

If you really want to do something indoors while visiting this tropical paradise, then I suggest you watch an overpriced pay-per-view movie in your room.

Warren & Annabelle's Magic

This was by far the worst live performance I have ever seen. Warren was on vacation, and his replacement (Kerry) was horrendous. From what I hear, though, Kerry's talent level and repertoire is right on par with Warren's.

My girlfriend and I decided to go to the show because of the great reviews that we read in the "Maui Revealed" guidebook. The glowing reviews were completely misleading. The tricks performed were extremely unimpressive; similar to something you might see performed by a magician at a birthday party for a First Grader. Also, the comedy portion of the act made up about 70% of the entire act - far greater than what we had anticipated. At first, the comedy was funny, as Kerry created insulting nicknames for some unlucky patrons sitting in the first and second rows. When he first called the young-looking 32-year-old in the front row "Doogie Howser," I laughed. But 15 times later, it was not funny anymore.

Instead of seeing several magic tricks with a little bit of fluff/comedy in between, there were only about four major tricks. Most of the show was based around the stupid, insulting humor that quickly grew old. Not to mention the fact that the tricks were horribly unimpressive.

The icing on the cake was when Kerry messed up the final trick and made himself look even worse by admitting that he had to cheat (by glancing at the "hidden" number that a man had written down). Unfortunately, he admitted that he couldn't even cheat well enough to get the trick right. He had misread the "hidden" number. But please don't misconstrue this as the reason that I disliked the show. Even if he had nailed this trick, this still would have been a horrible show. Do not waste your time or money (approx. $50) to be horribly disappointed.

Also, I forgot to mention that the unique entrance to the theater and the ghost piano player (both raved about in "Maui Revealed") are nothing close to impressive.

I called the manager the next day and conveyed our disappointment with the show, asking for our money back, but to no avail.

Please do not waste your time/money with this show. You will absolutely regret it.

Warren and Annabelle Magic Show

When my parents first told me I was going to a magic show, I was like what? At the time I was 25 years old. I told my dad that I grew out of magic shows when I was like ten. So 2 nights into our trip to Maui we went to Warren and Annabelle's Magic Show. To my surprise I really enjoyed it. The presentation of the whole show was really great. I don't want to give too much away, but you will be very pleased if you go to this show.

One great aspect about this show is that Warren the Magician is really funny and doesn't use foul language in his show, which is really good if you're traveling with children or your grandmother like I was. The theater that you sit in is small and stadium-like. I think that the theater sits only about a hundred people, so you can really see the magic going on. Warren also gets the the crowd involved with the show.

Overall, the entire show was really well put together. I'm really glad that I got to share the this time with my parents and my grandmother. This show is for people of all ages.

This was horrible. I really felt bad for the people being heckled in the front row, especially since they paid full admission price like the rest of the audience. Warren really crosses the line of appropriate comedy, and his magic not something I would interrupt a vacation to go see.

This show just was not what I expected for the price. Maui Revealed says it is absolutely wonderful, but that guide also got us desperately lost on a hike we took while driving to Hana. So, be careful what you read; the information may be a bit dated, as we found out.

Warren is an amazing magician. I have always loved magicians, but this show is unlike any other I have been to. The theater holds about 60 people and is very small. Even the back row was only 10 feet away from the action. I don't know how he did most of his tricks. Some of the card tricks I have seen before, but many of his tricks are variations on older ones. And despite being so close, you still can't tell how he did it. Warren is also hilarious; he interacted with nearly everyone in the audience, making it feel like a very private show. This is a must see, just try it and you'll thank me!
