The Prestige By Mystique Dining Is A Magical Option For Date Night In San Diego
There is a wide diversity of options when it comes to date night ideas but on New Year's Eve it gets a bit more complicated since way too many businesses look at this as an option to jack the prices up while cutting corners. This has made it quite challenging some years for Heather and I's anniversary but this year she suggested we try a magic show dinner theater that had opened up down the block from our loft in the San Diego Gaslamp. What we experienced last night was an awesomely fun evening of magic, food, and drinks.
This venue opened a few years ago as Illusions Theatre and Bar in downtown San Diego on 4th Ave between E and F featuring James Kellogg, Jr. He then sold it to Mystique Dining who has since integrated it into their collection of magic show dinner theater locations around the country. Current locations include West Jordan, Utah (Mystique and The Prestige), La Jolla, California (Mystique), Folson, California (Mystique), and The Prestige that we visited last night.
I'm told that each venue is slightly different but they all offer a magic show dinner theater experience that includes a multi-course dinner and bar that you can visit before or after the shows if you just want a drink while enjoying a roving illusionist.
It is recommended to show at least 30 minutes before your scheduled performance so that you can check in and relax and get warmed up with some quick magic tricks. Once the showroom is ready for guests, the secret door is revealed and guests are escorted from the bar area to the back room.
As you can see, there isn't a bad seat in the house. We were in the far corner of the theater but thought our seats were fantastic. You can pay more for seats closer to the stage but I didn't find that necessary.
One important note, though. Like any theater performance, they won't wait for you. The two ladies next to us did show up about 30 min late and the staff did a great job of accommodating them, however, their dinner service was rushed compared to our more leisurely one.
When we made our reservation online, we were asked to select our entree choice. Options for us included prime rib (which both Heather and I selected), Coq au Vin, Gourmet Mac and Cheese, or a Vegetarian option. You could also select add-ons such as a shrimp cocktail.
In my experience, dinner theaters are never known for offering good food. Here though, I was very surprised and impressed. Just like our creatively inspired and well-crafted cocktails earlier, our dinner was delicious and offered a large portion of beef.
While we enjoyed dinner, the show continued. The gentleman we sat next to was a huge fan of magic and so even brought his own deck of cards to help entertain guests. Then, when it was time for dessert, they did a short version of Le Petit Chef that we'd previously experienced on Celebrity Millenium before bringing an absolutely fabulous cheesecake topped with cherries.
Once dinner service was over, it was time for the show to begin. On this evening, we got a special treat since James Kellog, Jr was the performer. He was the former owner of the original venue and one of the top magician / illusionist performers on the West Coast. He has performance credits at many casinos such as Pechanga Resort in Temecula, amusement parks including Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, as well as having appeared on MTV and Who's Line Is It Anyway?
His performance last night had the perfect level of comedy, audience engagement, and "how the heck did he do that?!" moments.
While these shows are not specifically marked as "Adults Only," this isn't a venue for families to bring their children. Regardless - there was a family in the front part of the theater and they had a great time.
James's performance was very PG level. One of the acts did have a slight adult angle though. However, he did an excellent job of pointing the potentially inappropriate part away from the table with kids so that the adults could "get it" and laugh, but the parents wouldn't have an awkward moment trying to explain it to their kids.
It's been a while since I've been to a true magic show and frankly, I wasn't expecting much more than a relatively affordable New Year's Eve date night outing. However, this experience left me completely impressed. It also made me wonder why this is the first time we've visited here.
At $50 per person for the dinner and show, this is a fabulous value since just the prime rib dinner would easily run us $25 if we went to a restaurant. However, considering that our total bill was about $150 for the two of us (including some drinks and tip) for a solid three and a half hours of entertainment - that's unbelievable for a place in downtown San Diego.
It is unfortunate that they don't do better marketing and PR but maybe word of mouth is good enough to fill the theater on a nightly basis, so good for them.
Either way, I can't wait to go back and you should check it out too.

The Prestige Magic Lounge Now Open In San Diego’s Gaslamp
There’s a lot of magic happening in the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter these days.
Quite literally, too, with the opening of The Prestige Magic Lounge & Showroom on Fourth Ave., across from Balboa Theater between E and F streets.
This is an intimate magic (and comedy because most magicians are comedians, too) dinner show and bar featuring close-up magic from world-class magicians.
Intimate in that it seats less than 50 people at each of its two evening performances. The food is gourmet and served by staff in butler and maid outfits. There is also a small lounge in the front where people gather before the performances, have a drink or two and are entertained by a magician performing right-before-your-eyes tricks on top of the bar.
This is a more casual concept than the La Jolla location but it’s also classy. And it’s not necessarily inexpensive either; up to $150 for the show and three-course dinner (prices start at a very reasonable $60).
The dinner theater is in the back and you enter by going through the lobby’s fireplace. Dinner is served first, followed the the show. The entire thing lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours.
It’s unclear at this time whether or not you can just go in and sit at the bar, have a few drinks and see some magic. PubClu.com will find out, tho!
The Prestige Magic Lounge & Showroom is just one of many new nightlife entertainment places going in not just in the Gaslamp but in particular on Fourth Ave.
This area between E and G Streets are getting particularly robust with a hooka lounge replacing Tropical Savor, some potential upgrades or changes to Taste & Thirst, a “mystery bar” going into the former Hennessey’s and Sultan restaurant having just closed to make the way of something new (and exciting?).
Additionally, the minds behind Blind Burrow, Moonshine Flats and several other Gaslamp Quarter bars – Good Times Design – are revamping Patrick’s bar on F Street in the same area and are opening a new concept at the former Gaslamp Strip Club steakhouse, an American country-style bar and restaurant.
The main attraction of the Prestige Magic Lounge is, of course, the live performances by talented magicians from around the world. These mesmerizing acts showcase a wide range of magical feats, including mind-reading, illusion, sleight of hand, and more. Audiences are left in awe as the magicians perform seemingly impossible tricks right before their eyes, leaving them questioning the very nature of reality.
In addition to the live performances, the Prestige Magic Lounge also offers interactive experiences for guests. Magic workshops and classes are available, allowing enthusiasts to learn the secrets behind some of the tricks performed on stage. These hands-on sessions provide a unique opportunity for individuals to delve into the world of magic and gain insights into the art form. To complement the magical experience, the Prestige Magic Lounge features a full-service bar offering a selection of captivatingly named cocktails and elixirs. The menu is designed to reflect the enchanting theme of the lounge, with potions and concoctions that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Beyond its aim to entertain, the Prestige Magic Lounge is also committed to fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the art of magic. The lounge hosts regular events and showcases local up-and-coming magicians, providing a platform for aspiring talents to showcase their skills and gain exposure. In conclusion, the Prestige Magic Lounge is a haven for magic enthusiasts and those seeking an extraordinary experience.

Reviews for "Witness the Impossible at Prestige Magic Lounge"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with my experience at the Prestige Magic Lounge. The show was lackluster and unimpressive. The magicians seemed unprepared and their tricks were easily predictable. The atmosphere of the lounge was also disappointing, with uncomfortable seating and a lack of ambiance. Overall, I would not recommend spending your money on this underwhelming magic show.
2. John - 2 stars
My visit to the Prestige Magic Lounge left much to be desired. The show itself was mediocre at best, with tricks that were unoriginal and poorly executed. The performers lacked charisma and did not engage the audience as much as I had hoped. The seating arrangement was cramped and uncomfortable, with limited legroom. In terms of value for money, I certainly did not feel like I got my money's worth. I would advise seeking other magic shows in the area instead.
3. Emily - 1 star
I had high expectations for the Prestige Magic Lounge, but sadly it fell flat. The magicians seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic in their performances. The tricks they performed were unimpressive and lacked any wow factor. The overall atmosphere of the lounge was lackluster and did not create a sense of mystery or excitement. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this disappointing magic show experience.
