The Sound of Magic

Coming November 2026

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.

LOCATIONS

Mahoney State Park at the Kountze Memorial Theatre

Kountze Memorial Theater is located inside Eugene T. Mahoney State Park. Along with magic shows, the park also has ice-skating, sledding, a rock climbing wall, and an indoor playground. Cabins and hotel rooms at the lodge are also available for those seeking an extended stay. For those without a park permit, daily entrance to the park is $7 (Nebraska vehicle) and $14 (non-Nebraska registered vehicle).

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.

ABOUT THE MAGICIAN

Magic is performed by Old Market Magician, Ryan Chandler. From The CW's "Fool Us" to the "Penn & Teller: Try This At Home" magic special, Ryan is known for his unique street style which often combines magic and elements of music.
