The Naked Magicians
John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall
Tickets: $29-$55*
Following sold out shows and rave reviews across the world, including London’s West End, United States, Canada, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the worlds naughtiest and funniest magic show, “The Naked Magicians,” is coming to Miami!
Direct from Australia, the show features magic, humor and more than a touch of mayhem as these two hot and hilarious magicians say “abracadabra” and take magic to a whole new level. Left without sleeves or pockets, their saucy magic is baffling and entertaining, bringing a new meaning to “now you see it.”
This boisterous R-rated magic show strips away the top hats and capes, promising full frontal illusions. Good magicians don’t need sleeves and great magicians don’t need pants. This show proves just that! Note: 18+ only. Includes coarse language, sexual references and nudity.

From playing on the streets of Cannes and the hedonistic heights of St. Tropez, breaking world music barriers as one of the rare groups to climb the US and World music charts. Featured in the likes of The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3 and Glee, the band has embraced western classics by Bob Marley, the Doobie Brothers and The Eagles with globe-hopping grace, whilst also incorporating dramatic cues from Brazilian and Caribbean culture.
