"Step off the busy streets near Union Square and make your way downstairs and into the Oasis Lounge, a former speakeasy with Moroccan tile, velvet banquets, and flickering lanterns adjacent to the 35-seat jewel box theater. This is the exclusive venue of mentalist and magician Jay Alexander, whose show is a little bit Broadway, a little bit Vegas, and a little bit comedy club. It begins in the lounge with close-up magic and sleight-of-hand. The main event moves to the adjacent theater–with Alexander on stage, the interactive performance brings in the audience for mind reading, human lie detector tests, and extraordinary stunts of mind-bending magic. Even skeptics will be convinced that magic is real!" - Kimberley Lovato, Carey Jones

"Blow-your-mind fun for the whole family Sleight of hand, mind-reading, astonishing tricks, and comedy— master magician, mentalist, and comic Jay Alexander does it all four nights a week near Union Square. It was a trunk in Alexander's grandparents' attic that launched his magical curiosity, and at the age of 14, he was the youngest recipient of the Society of American Magicians Gold Medal of Honor. Alexander has entertained audiences on the Today Show and Good Morning America , and given special performances for U2 frontman Bono and the late Bay Area comedian, Robin Williams. Good clean fun for the whole family (though children under eight are probably not the ideal audience), the show leaves you mezmerized and wondering “How did he do that?!” Come see if you can figure it out. The intimate theater is, as the name suggests, Moroccan-themed. Guests can order pre-show snacks, drinks, and mint tea. Shows run Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Book tickets online."

What a great experience! I came here with my partner and we got the VIP experience. Good: - We got a hummus plate and a ton of shoutouts for coming here on our anniversary - I loved the audience participation element of the experience - I was called in to help for 2 of the magic and one of it was mental - they guessed my high school - Really intimate venue and good ambiance Bad: - If you don't sit in the front row, I imagine some of the tricks are harder to see Overall I felt like this experience was so good and would recommend for other couples!

It was our Christmas from my family and we had more than a good time!! I love the way the show interacts with the public. The show accept around 30-40 people and lot of them participate to it. We really enjoyed it and laughed a lot. A perfect experience 😍

What a spectacular show that was entertaining for the whole family! We brought our 7 year old son who loved it as much as my husband and me. I am astounded at how Jay was able to literally read minds - truly magical! And the intimate environment and interactive nature of the show made it so much fun. An evening we will never forget!!!

What a special treat this was! We walked downstairs and were shown to a room where Jay would warm us up before the actual show. This was fun! The drinks we had weren't great, but we didn't come there for the drinks. He has a few people on staff to make the experience smooth. He goes around to each group and includes them in each trick. After the warm up, he takes us to the performance space. During the show, he explains things to help the audience understand what he's about to do. He includes as many audience members as he can throughout the show. The room is intimate. It makes you feel like you're at a private club. He is lovable. He is talented. He impressed us so much, we want to go back.

A really fun show and evening. Jay is personable and humble, and a real magician! Of course we spent time afterwards asking each other "how did he do that???" Loved the intimacy of audience interaction and the small intimate theater space. The entire evening was a unique experience. We loved the pre-show lounge and opportunity to meet Jay. Food and drink offerings had great potential but felt, and tasted, rushed and less cared for.

I’ve gone here twice. Jay is an amazing showman and magician. I love the intimate atmosphere of the venue, and how he gets the crowd involved with the whole show. The show is well priced. I wish Jay and his team much success!

Jay Alexander's magic show in San Francisco is an absolute must-see, whether you're with friends, family, or even exploring the city on your own. His performance is a perfect blend of mind-blowing illusions, engaging storytelling, and a touch of humor that keeps the entire audience captivated from start to finish. If you're with friends, you'll be left debating how he pulled off those impossible tricks. For families, it's a magical experience that both kids and adults will cherish. And if you're solo, you'll still feel the warmth and excitement of being part of a shared, unforgettable moment. Beyond the magic, Jay's charisma and connection with the audience make the show truly special. Don’t miss it, you’ll leave with a sense of wonder and a story to tell!

Great show! Jay was very funny and personable and put on a great show. Show up early to see some up close magic in the lobby and then he puts on a great show inside the theater. There's about 50 people to a crowd, but it makes for a great intimate show where you feel like you know your fellow attendees. I would definitely go back again.
