Known for his Britain’s Got Talent 2025 audition, Eden Choi delivers a decent magic show with upbeat pop music that makes up for the occasional slow pace. The venue is enough of a reason to visit, with a spread of audience seating and dinner tables in front of a huge stage. It’s a perfect set up for a family with kids, to enjoy a nice meal and feel the delightful wonder at Eden’s magic.
Eden takes the audience on an around the word journey, with each set representing magic tricks and music from that location: for example, he features Las Vegas, where we’re dazzled with impressive card tricks and American pop music; he also shows Korea (where Eden is from), and plays on the very well-known Netflix show, Squid Games, to do a more dangerous trick involving a real nail.
At times, the pacing is a bit slow and the performance would benefit from more gusto and energy, but overall, the magic is interesting enough to make up for this. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you have children.
