点评:We went to the children's show at the magic circle for my son's 6th Birthday. To start with it was really good, we got a little preview in the waiting area from one magician which was great. The main show itself was a little disappointing. I felt it was more of a kids entertainment show than a magic show, as there weren't many tricks - we have been to a magic show at our local library where more actual tricks were performed.
Throughout the performance a number of children were asked to participate. I understand that not all children can take part, but both my husband and I felt that the performer didn't even look our way once. Also had you been sat in the balcony area there wasn't a chance you would get picked and it wasn't clear of this before being guided to the seats.
I originally booked a different show but it was cancelled and we were able to book on to this one which was great. It did however mean that this show was completely full, and not having allocated seats meant that some families couldn't sit together - not the best idea. When I changed my booking I informed that this was for my son's birthday, and yet when we were at the show another two children were called up for their birthday but my son was not.
My children still enjoyed the show, albeit a little disappointed not to be picked, but we explained that not everyone can be picked. We were just left feeling that more magic could have been done rather than the singing, clapping and general entertaining.
Lastly the facilities weren't the best. There seemed to be one set of toilets which consisted of 2 toilets in the ladies (not sure of the mens). One of the locks on the doors were broken. The toilets were run down, and generally dirty.
翻译:为了庆祝我儿子六岁生日,我们去了魔术圈剧院看儿童表演。一开始感觉还不错,在等候区有一位魔术师给我们做了个小小的预演,很棒。但正式演出有点令人失望。我觉得与其说是魔术表演,不如说是儿童娱乐节目,因为并没有多少真正的魔术——我们之前在当地图书馆看过一场魔术表演,那里的魔术技巧更多。
演出过程中,一些孩子被邀请参与互动。我知道不是所有孩子都能参与,但我和我丈夫都觉得表演者一次都没看我们一眼。而且,如果你坐在楼座,就完全没有机会被选中,这一点在被引导到座位之前并没有说明。
我原本订的是另一场演出,但那场取消了,所以我们改订了这场,这很好。但这也就意味着这场演出已经满员,而且没有指定座位,导致一些家庭无法坐在一起——这可不是个好主意。我更改预订时说明是为了庆祝我儿子的生日,但到了演出现场,却有两个小朋友因为生日被叫上台,而我儿子却没有。
孩子们虽然有点失望没被选中,但还是很喜欢这场演出。我们解释说,不是每个人都能被选中的。我们只是觉得,除了唱歌、鼓掌和一些娱乐表演之外,还可以多表演一些魔术。
最后,演出设施也不太好。似乎只有一个卫生间,女厕只有两个隔间(不确定男厕的情况)。其中一个隔间的门锁坏了。卫生间很破旧,而且很脏。
