Jamie Allan's Amaze

About this experience

Jamie Allan's Amaze Tickets Jamie Allan's Amaze transforms childhood nostalgia into modern magic through a deeply personal journey set in the recreated attic of Allan's family pub. This isn't your typical magic show - it's a narrative-driven experience where each illusion connects to Allan's formative memories from the 1980s, from mastering Rubik's Cubes to predicting calculator sums. The Chicago Tribune called it a "masterclass in magic", whilst Penn & Teller praised the show's charm after Allan stumped them on Fool Us. What sets Amaze apart is its emotional resonance. Director Jonathan Goodwin and composer Tommy Bond have crafted something that feels intimate despite the grand illusions. You'll watch Allan transform everyday objects into extraordinary moments, using live camera projections so every seat feels like the front row. The show includes audience participation, mind reading, and interactive illusions that make you part of Allan's story rather than just watching it unfold. After sold-out runs in London's West End and becoming Chicago's highest-selling magic show of all time, Amaze brings its unique blend of high-tech wizardry and heartfelt storytelling to New York's New World Stages. This limited Off-Broadway run offers something genuinely different in the city's magic scene. What to Expect at Jamie Allan's Amaze The show runs for 2 hours and 15 minutes with an interval. Allan performs alongside featured artist Natalia Love, with creative consultant Harry De Cruz serving as alternate lead. Set designer Damien Stanton has recreated Allan's childhood attic complete with nostalgic props, projection screens, and the technical wizardry that brings 1980s memories to life on stage. New World Stages Stage 5 provides an intimate Off-Broadway setting perfect for this personal show. The venue's close-up cameras ensure you won't miss any sleight-of-hand, whilst the warm lighting and clever staging create an atmosphere that feels like stepping into someone's treasured memories. You'll experience live number predictions, audience-led mind reading, and illusions that blend cutting-edge technology with classic magic principles. For those exploring more of New York's theatrical offerings, you might enjoy Sleep No More's immersive experience or catch other innovative productions in the city's thriving Off-Broadway scene. Before You Go Jamie Allan's Amaze is suitable for ages 5 and above, making it perfect for families. The venue recommends smart casual dress code.
