Ever want to see up close magic? If so then this is the place. Tristan is truly amazing. He is very funny as well and keeps you entertained throughout the whole show. Definitely a must see for the entire family!

H. Michael Shoulders

Kathy Ensminger

Loved the cozy feeling of the venue- the show was absolutely great!!

Roy Galazka

The show is a nice mix of upclose and big Vegas style magic. The small theater allows for a much more personal experience.

Barbara Sem

Excellent show! You won't be disappointed.

Elizabeth Lauren

Awesome show in a brand new venue. Beautiful new building and easy to buy tickets and we got great seats which we assigned. Tristan seems like a regular guy which adds to his charisma, hes funny and professional. I have no idea how he did any of the tricks which is why you should go! Completely amazed. His assistant Shannon did a great job also. totally worth it

Brian Edwards

Amazing must see show! Cannot recommend it enough!

Don Osterling

This was a fun show. All of his tricks were really good, from some small ones to some really big ones

Frank Mamolella

Worth the money. Made our trip

Ellen Musser

This show was awesome! We took our kids and our eldest daughter was called on stage (she is 5) she was so excited to "be apart of the show" and afterwards he took pictures with her and everything. Definitely check him out! He's amazing.

Nickolaus Triantafelo

The show was awesome. I still don't believe what I saw. I was sitting in the second row up close to the stage. And my mind is blown been. Small theater large scale illusions.

Rachel Kahanec

Great for a company party! We had a private show for 50 people and it was amazing. Tristan and his staff were great!

Coach Korbs

Buyer beware when buying tickets. See photo I posted. Paid Extra for first half of theater and was clearly placed on left side back row. They claim 51 seat theater and we had 24-25 people in front of us. It's misleading advertising and they take your Gold Fee then tell you that it's more participation where they put you. I'm a 50 year old father that brought a party of six... trust me, don't buy the front row seats and pay extra. Horrible attitude.

Sheila Miller

This show was so much fun. We had a great afternoon. Tristan's humor and personality made this a totally enjoyable afternoon. I'm bringing my husband back!

Amy Cappon

Tristan Crist show was very enjoyable and he was entertaining and funny

Erica Geary

It was a good show.

Sean D

We had a great time. Want a wonderful performer!

Varsovia Santoliva

IT WAS BETTER THAN I EVER EXPECTED IT! I LIKED HIS SHOW MORE THAN CHRIS ANGEL IN VEGAS!

Dani Bobani

Very impressive! Everything is right there in front of you which makes it even more amazing! Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Lake Geneva to see his show.

Aaron Leboeuf

Great show . Clean theater. Worth the money

Andrew Driscoll

Very cool illusions for a very small theater, and you can't believe some of the things he does. Interactive and fun time in an intimate setting.

Robert Borecki

Truly entertaining had a great time

Brian Numainville

Wow! Fabulous and impressive magic show in a brand new theater. Tristan is friendly and the caliber of the magic matches (if not beats) David Copperfield in Las Vegas. Highly recommend!

Carol Scovotti

Absolutely amazing! I was sitting in front row and couldn't figure out any trick. Beautiful new theater. Can't believe someone so talented is in our community. I will DEFINITELY go again.

Brian Hazard

A fun magic show that brings some new and interesting acts to the stage. Tristan's wry, self-deprecating grin lends levity to his show, keeping it from being bogged down under the weight of some seemingly obligatory magic fare (Chinese linking rings, chopping a woman in half). While Tristan winked and grinned, his assistant Shannon held up her end wonderfully. Her flourishes and showmanship (and constant costume changes!) added to the show's entertainment and professionalism. The venue was small and intimate, and I found myself far more impressed by the small, inexplicable tricks he did right before my eyes in comparison to the mechanical boxes that hid their secrets from view. A very fun show that the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed.

chuck tonyan

Had an amazing time with my family at the show. He is very interactive with the audience at all times and his magic keeps you wondering how the heck did he do that . I would highly recomend to see his show .

Jane Deer

Amazing magic show! Top notch,worth every dime.

Wombat Op

Met the owner's and they are probably the nicest people I have met. Little things like this go a long way with me. They take great pride in their business and treat everyone with a great deal of respect.

Steve Goldman

Great show for all ages ! I enjoyed it as much as the kiddos !!

Mike Stegenga

Very entertaining. Not only do you get a magic show, you get a bit of comedy too. The show was well worth the cost of our tickets. Every seat is a good seat in the theater.

karl meyer

Great time!

Miles Free

The show was great! The small stage/ close seats makes for a great up close and personal show. Highly recommend!

Carla Woody

He was fantastic!! Amazing little magic show!! Every seat is a great view. Everyone should go see it!

Josie Cat

My mom wanted to take me to this show in a small Wisconsin town. I was not knowing what to expect at first. After entering the theater I was surprised how small it was. When you go to Vegas and see shows there the small size of the theater had me skeptical. Being a fellow performer I started knowing some of the attention to detail. The show went on and I was amazed how they got big Vegas show acts in this little theater. As well as being so close to the acts made it that more special and difficult to hide how they did tricks. I spent most of the show trying to figure them out. Excellent showmanship on all the performers. It ended up being a good time and worth seeing. Great show guys.

Greg Allan

Great show! Highly recommended.

Gwen Barlow

Such a fun and entertaining show. Small, Intimate theatre.. Mr. Crist is very engaging and entertaining. I highly recommend this as a must see in Lake Geneva. Order tickets early as they sell out quickly.

Dan Brennan

Awesome show. Love the new theatre. This was our second time we attended the show. Had out of town friends join us. We were all blown away with the performance. Humor, audience participation and dramatic affects add to the great experience we had. I would highly recommend the Tristan Crist Magic Theatre when in Lake Geneva.

First Lady

Very entertaining! Worth the money.

Kathy Beaulieu

Very good. Up close and enjoyable. I recommend this for people of all ages. They included alot of the younger audience participation on the stage.

Erin Huemann

We took my Dad for his birthday because he loves illusion & had a wonderful evening. Tristan performs wonderful illusion that leaves you scratching your head and laughing out loud. He is a wonderful performer, entertaining and interacts well with the crowd even calling volunteers on stage to help him perform tricks. We loved how family friendly it is and part of his show tells a beautiful story. The new venue is also wonderful with every seat providing a great view....Will definitely go back!

Jain Kora

Amazing show up so close.

Kyle Wise

Awesome show by Tristan Crist and his 2 assistants.

W P

Great show, must see if you are in Lake Geneva!

Eugene Reeser

One of the most entertaining hours you can have any where.

Paul Nehls

A new theater just opened next to Walmart across the street. Very nice.

Michael Combs

Such a great time for our entire family. This show is a must do if you plan on visiting Lake Geneva.

Michael Schneider

Went to see this on a Monday night as I’ve never seen a magic show in person. The show was worth every penny. It was like 37.00 a ticket with tax but it was hands down the best magic illusion show period. The magician himself is extremely nice doing meet and greets for fans, taking photos and doing autographs. The theater only holds 160 ppl so it’s intimate but you can see everything, I still can’t explain half of what I saw. If you haven’t see this show yet. Don’t wait! It’s awesome. He has an assistant that is very nice as well and informative about everything going on .

Nikkinik 13

This show is amazing! We've seen it twice already. He gets a few audience members involved in some of his acts, and throws in some comedy. The show lasts an hour and is in a brand new theater. I highly recommend for people of all ages!!!

Susan Rodriguez

The show was great but seating was too cramped

david chaffer

Great show! Just right for kids or as a couple.

Ethan McCammack

Really cool little show. Kinda cheesy at times, but what do you expect? Everyone was very friendly and it is true when they say there is no bad seat in the place.

Jessica Lynch

Intimate and fascinating experience! A must see in Lake Geneva.

Pamela Mirabal

This was such an amazing time! There is no bad seat in the house. We saw David Copperfield in Las Vegas and I have to say that Tristan Crist is right up there with the best. In addition to his flawless magic he has a wonderful stage presence and is very entertaining not to mention his great comic side. We so enjoyed the show! As an additional pleasure the theater adjoins a great wine bar for a wonderful libation before or after the show. I would highly recommend that if you have the chance you make this part of your experience in Lake Geneva .

Susie Chaney

Great show. Well worth the $35 ticket price.

Heather Unrue

Great Magic show. Not high mystery/suspense, but dry comedy with simple tricks and big wow moments. Great set up to see the action and good for all ages - went to a show with a kids Birthday and a Bachelor party

Mark Hogen

Tristan was awesome! We saw him in his older , smaller stage and it was a smaller audience which we liked- he was very personable- right in your face magic- and I mean in your face !! We were there during the winter fest that Geneva has and I think we may go again now that he’s got a larger /newer theater.... I really liked the bottles of wine trick!!! Wish we could add photos but we were too mesmerized to take pictures!!LOL

Steven Rice

Excellent show! Great price. Not scary for the kids (brought a 4 year old and he loved it). Tristan is funny and the setting is very intimate. The pace is rather quick, which I like, with only a minute or two between each trick. Can’t wait to go back again!

Elizabeth Pesce

Awesome show! Our granddaughter loved it. Theater doesn't have a bad seat.

Sam Sléibhín

Tristan Crist puts on a stellar magic show. It's like going to Vegas but without all the travel hassle - and it's really affordable. Prepare to be amazed and be sure to enjoy the great venue.

Addison Gosa

The illusions are great for being a low-run show. This will entertain children and most likely adults. There are snacks in the front. The wait was like 15 minutes, but it was definitely worth it!

Jacob McGarry

Tristan does a great show in a tiny little theater. He was both personable and professional.

Scott Benson

Took my daughter to the show and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The new theater is great, up close and personal, makes it super fun. Highly recommend it for people of al ages.

Jae Eiden

Fantastic show. Great illusionist! Family friendly and a lot of fun!

Mario Avila

Tristan Crist magic show it's unbelievable a must see!.

Chris Benham

A fun afternoon of magic!

John Magyar

Great show with some really great magical tricks and engaging performance.

Jaime Juchems

I am telling you, this is a must see for Lake Geneva! Wow! So impressed and do much fun!

Jeremy Decker

definitely recommend going seeing them it was amazing

Daniel Paulikas

Great show. Very entertaining. Right next door to The Bottle Shop. Stop there first and have a glass of wine or beer. Or bring it into the Magic show, back door goes into foyer of theater.

Scott Thompson

Excellent show for the whole family!

Amy

Came for New Years had to come see this show. It was amazing! We are still talking about it! Funny, engaging and MAGIC!! All ages will be entertained!

Zhao Ge

tiny theater and museum. you are steps away from the stage and performer even at last row. kids are amazed by the shoe, and me too. excellent getaway with kids in lake geneva. make sure to book in advance. tickets often sold out. the museum is across the street. parking is plenty in the back lot and across street.

Ronald Garcia

Very entertaining both for kids and grown ups alike! Also, the very intimate (small) venue allows you to sit very close to the performance. We were very glad we went! Highly recommended if you are in Lake Geneva!

Leo the Lion

The kids loved this show and also the magic trick set we bought after the show!

Xavier Perales

Definitely will go back! Very entertaining and not that pricey. Tristan sure does know how to entertain and wow his audience!

rita marksteiner

Had an awesome time. Great show!

Kailey Paugh

My grandson loved it!

Sean Blanken

Shock and awe with a dash of pizazz. Tristan is an outstanding magician and incorporates the right amount of dry humor into his show. One last time giving him a round of applause bravo! bravo! See you again in a couple of months. This is a must see.

Karly Duhamel

What a fantastic magic show! You are left wondering through out the whole show how Tristan is doing his tricks. The show gets the audience involved and you are laughing for the entire show. No seat is a bad seat in the theater because it is a smaller theater which makes the experience that much better! I will definitely be back to see another show.

Brian Olsen

Amazing show. Big magic packed into a small theater.

ruby evans

Great show

bakingmomma88

Awesome show! A hidden gem! Tristan had some personal touches and a lot Of audience involvement. Great time!

Emilys' Studio

It was an amazing show. The theater is small enough that is so amazing you can see him very closely. His magic was amazing highly recommend a must see show when you visit lake Geneva. Another good thing about Tristan he engaged the audience to his magic show. Love it.

Sara Strauss

Very fun show. The theater is as small as they claim and every seat is a good seat. The act was funny and the magic was real.

Alex Tseline

Up close illusions and magic. Come see it, you will not regret it

Josh Hill

Midwest Boss

April Adamson

Great show, amazing tricks and very entertaining, suitable for all ages

m b

A very nice close and personal show of illusion, great humor

Richard Fassbender

Tristan Crist is a great magician with a wonderful sense humor. We've seen Tristan numerous times and he never fails to amaze. His new Lake Geneva theater puts you in the closest possible proximity to Tristan's wonderful illusions.

IGNACIO REYES

Wonderful show! Loved it! Small theater, big show!

Patrick Cavanaugh

Good stuff, love the magic he still needs to develop his own persona the transition between small town Wisconsin guy and Chris Issac is a little discombobulated

Mark Menzel

Fun small stage fascinating magic illusions!

Maggie Pongratz

Parents took us here, thinking it was just a cute Lake Geneva show! We were impressed by the show and the acts! Highly recommend this show to all families! Up close entertainment! He is a great magician!

Jason Jensen

Wow GREAT intimate show! Could NOT catch anything! The time disappeared with so many tricks.

Robert Ireland

As everyone has written, the performance was great. Additionally, Tristan deserves kudos for something he did above and beyond for my two young nephews. We were sitting in the back row, and when he saw the kids during the show he invited them to two empty front row seats (apparently the people who purchased those tickets didn't show up). During the show Tristan interacted several times with the boys, which made the experience even more memorable for them. He posed for a photograph with them after the show, and he and his assistants were very personable with them.

Caroline Cornelison

Fantastic show! Great theater, clean, huge parking lot excellent staff.

Leonard Wegrzyn

Been to a lot of magic shows his was just great for such a small theater

Robert Maynard

This show is great. Some great magic, great jokes in between, super family friendly. Definitely will see this show again 1 day.

Timothy Smith

Combination of illusion and humor make this an amazing show. It's a show that reignites the wonder from childhood yet still entertains adults. I absolutely loved it!

Al Canaveral

Awesome show! Just saw it for the first time and the whole family loved it. Great illusionist, very entertaining. Very cool

Crissy Volkman

My husband went in a skeptic. He went through the show trying to figure out how things were done but couldn't figure out any of it. Tristan claims he is a small town magician which sets your expectations low. During the show, he proved he is star worthy. True showmanship and good for all ages.

Mary Mendoza

The ves show

Jay Cash

Tristin is a great showman, excellent illusionist and funny. A show that is fun for the whole family! Nice new building - good value. Get good directions - GPS not reliable here as of fall 2019 - they are behind Aldi on route 12

Patrice Langford

Excellent show!

Maureen Spencer

Awesome show, great date night adventure even for the local folks. The show was entertaining

Alex Holden

Up close and personal in a small cozy theater. Very cool tricks and lots of fun. Highly recommend.

Tracy Staadt

Loved this. Was a great anniversary surprise from my husband.

Chuck Fell

Had a great time! Very nice, new, venue in new building. Very slick and professional show!!

Joshua Blum

Phenomenal show. We took my 11 year old and 8 year old and both loved it. It was an hour of non-stop magic and Tristan is a great entertainer. Highly recommended.

Ray Rolston

Surprisingly good

Neehar Gupta

Fantastic show and really great for both kids and adults! Quotes from my 5 and 7 year olds "ummm, the show was the best." "The show was awesome about how the girl disappeared and then came in the back." Love the small theatre. Really felt like Tristan was taking to us. Great thing to do while in Lake Geneva.

Deborah Kruger

Very cool

Kathie Nagler

This a great family friendly show. Tristan was funny and engaging. His illusions were fabulous. Highly recommended!

Dustin Herlich

I know, sounds silly, a five star magic show in a tiny 50 seat theater? Yeah, it's good. It's that's good. Most illusion shows you sit 30 feet away. Everything here is 2 feet away. We sat in the front row, I could reach out and touch him while he performed. Seeing all that SO close up is pretty amazing. His slight of hand is impressive. He has a good act that's good for all ages. I don't know how often he changes the act, but I'd go again when he does. Really a fun time. Very personable performer.

Scott Bordelon

Great local magic show! Tristan covers a wide range of magic, alternating between grand illusions and more 'smaller' hand magic. He is very personable, funny, and great for families and kids. He interacts with a few of the crowd members in a very easy going way. We greatly enjoyed seeing such a talented and practiced magician up-close in a small theater. His tricks are mostly variations of classics and what you see elsewhere, but he performs them superbly. I dont know how he does it, and I dont want to know! Go check him out, and support the art of magic!

Nick L.

Alot better than I thought it would be. Wasn't expecting much from a magic show in Lake Geneva. The theater is extremely small, which was initially a turn off, but once the show started it was great to be so close to the show. Tristan was great, very personable, funny, and entertaining. I'm always one to try and pay attention to details and figure out how the tricks are being done, and I couldn't figure anything out. He did a great job and his assistance were just as great. Well worth the money. The kids at the show loved it too and one of them got on stage.

Sara Blachowicz

Tristan and his assistants are wonderful performers. Very friendly and personable too. The theater is very intimate and packs a punch with a very large show on a not so large stage. The new theater opening soon is due to have an even bigger stage but still the same intimacy as the current one holds.

Susan Sullivan-Smith

Smallest stage I've ever been in but amazingly great show!!! Grandchildren were amazed! Tristan has great stage presence and loves what he does! I Would recommend it and I would go back.

Daniel Brunner

It is worth taking the kids to this. Very small and personable theater. My son got to participate in an entertaining trick and it made his day. Not sure if I would go again but worth seeing once.

Brandon Gustafson

Great show. Small but fun.

nick forster

It was an excellent performance, with the perfect amount of showmanship and comedy. By the time the show was over I believed that perhaps magic was possible. I highly recommend that you check it out.

Nova Blum

I got picked to go up ON STAGE with the magician!! Super good FAMILY time. Lots of kids under 6 but was totally fun. Fun for everyone. He added comedy into illusion. I felt at home and appreciated. He incorperated feeling into the performance and drinks were cheap!

Brian McCarrin

Epic performance, I highly recommend!

Harley McIntyre

Amazing show, I couldn't tell how any of the magic tricks. Definitely would recommend to anyone, and the prices are completely reasonable and wont break the bank. Give it a look!

Alicia Bryant

Nice show. Great for families.

Steven Clark

Awesome show...close up magic...entertaining and many of his illusions were amazing.

R

Great show. Amazing entertainment and fun with laughs mixed in. A local gem that my wife and I will not forget.

Quinn Athas

Great magic show overall. Tristen is a great guy with a good personality. He really likes to get the audience involved. The tricks are switched up every so often so you can go there more than once. The final trick is really good and I think impossible but I won't spoil it. The theater is nice and small and he uses that to his advantage getting the audience involved.

Zachary Mashburn

Magic portion waa good bordering on acceptable, but definitely better than I expected. The reason for only a 3 star was his on stage personality. He had no charisma, humor, personality, or flash. Watching Tristan Crist was like watching a particularly normal history teacher do magic.

asu3216

Great show to take the family. Can see magic up close!

Leigh Masi

A must see for anyone who likes magic. What a great time so glad we came

Dale Carlson

What a great night of fun! Tristan Crist is an incredible illusionist. The theatre is small. Only 50 seats so you have an up close view of some great illusions and magic tricks. Take the time to see a show if you are in Lake Geneva WI. You won’t be disappointed.

Mason Termaat

This magic show is great its upclose and personal with magician the tricks are awesome the whole family enjoyed it.

erxhan bekiri

Amazing show, fast moving, quaint theatre and all of his magic tricks left us speechless. Great for all ages!

Adam Levetzow

We had a great time for a Wednesday night show - Tristan and his team didn’t a phenomenal job regardless of the size of the crowd. I would’ve never have guest to see such a professional act in little Lake Geneva. If you have time - definitely worth it.

Steve McDaniel

Fantastic intimate show!

Robert Wiltzius

Great experience for the whole family. We will definitely do this again when we are back in the area.

Win Biernacki

Amusing and amazing family-friendly show in an intimate setting.

Good show overall. Fairly easy to see the slight of hand, but you are very close so it's harder to hide. Overall a great experience, my kids loved it.

Sandy Winkelman

Fun place for kids and adults alike. The magic is very professionally done. Highly recommend.

R Colbert

Intimate theater, not a bad seat in the house, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the show! Highly recommended!
