DETAILS
Tricks of the Trade
There will be displays of mind reading, vanishing coins, an impossible escape, and the magic of an old music box. At the end, witness the theatre transform into one of Ryan's street shows where he features classics that have stood the test of time, including what historians refer to as the oldest trick in the book. Come early if you can, for prior to the performance, Ryan is known to roam the theater performing close-up illusions for guests that have already claimed their seats.
The Sound of Magic
Coming November 2026
LOCATIONS
Street Show at The RiverFront
The show will take place at the 11th Street Promenade in Gene Leahy Mall. The RiverFront manages Omaha's Gene Leahy Mall, Heartland of America Park, and the Lewis & Clark Landing. These outdoor spaces have created a positive and diverse culture where people come together from all walks of life. The areas are geared for the entire family with water features, playgrounds, and green spaces, while serving as the link between the historic Old Market and north downtown Omaha.
Hollywood Candy Theater Show at 12th and Jackson in the Old Market
M & M stands for Magic Matinee. Hollywood Candy is one of the most unique stores you will ever visit. Witness aisles filled with candy, an old school diner, arcade, pinball machines, record store, and an antique shop. There are many oddities inside. Within the heart of the store, you will discover a small and very quaint theater, which is where the Hollywood Candy MAGIC SHOW takes place. The theater feels like an indoor street show and is family friendly. Come see why people are calling Ryan the Willy Wonka of Magic. Just be sure to plan out enough time to walk the rest of the store either before or afterwards so you get the full Hollywood Candy experience.
The 40th Street Theatre at 4006 Hamilton Street. in Omaha, NE.
Omaha guitar maker, John Hargiss, bought the historic building for his guitar shop. His plan was to fix it up the way in which he fixes guitars. However, he never planned on discovering something truly magical hidden within the building... an old vaudeville theater dating back over 100 years. Hargiss knew immediately the right thing to do would be to restore the theater. Since then, he has experienced many weird and unexplainable strange things surrounding the theater. This is your chance to come see it for yourself at The Haunted Theatre Show.
