Review:

I’d like to thank international champion of magic, David Minkin, for creating the coolest and classiest way to combine the best of childhood with the perks of adulthood in his reoccurring SoCal event called Evening of Enchantment.

Hosted at Beau Rivage on the Malibu coast, Evening of Enchantment is two hours long and as promised, is 50% adult and 50% magical amazement. Kicking off at 4:30pm on the upstairs patio, a spread of appetizers served buffet style (chicken skewers, bruschetta, prosciutto-wrapped melon, wontons, spinach-filo triangles) is kept stocked and fresh while you grab a seat and await the wine.

In the span of an hour, you’ll taste five wines from a David-selected California winery. The tastes are generous in flavor and pour, and by the time you are ushered down in to the wine basement (lined with chairs) you are warm, happy, and ready for the show.

If there’s one word you’ll overuse during the show, it’s "wow." No, you won’t be able to figure any of it out and no, he won’t tell you – it’s magic, after all. Coins and cards and water from the ceiling, you’ll be on the edge of your seat the entire time and no matter how close you get – it’s still, as your inside child might say, “the best show ever.”
