Magic of Polynesia Review

This magic show is a lot of fun. It is a little pricey even with a Kama 'aina discount. The illusions were impressive but not very original. The polynesian dancers performing in the show are the only thing that makes this a unique experience.

The first book in the Made from Magic Series is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." In this book, Newt Scamander travels to New York City in the 1920s and accidentally releases his magical creatures into the city. He must then team up with a group of unlikely allies to recapture these creatures before they cause chaos.

Magic of Polynesia

They certainly get an "A" for effort here at Magic of Polynesia. A delectable dinner, and a show featuring both magic and Hawaiian inspired Polynesian performance, make Magic of Polynesia one of the area's top nightly events. Still, it's pretty expensive for a single night of entertainment, and to be honest, the magician's bag of tricks is full of the same old stuff. If you are desperately looking for a way to arrange a night of entertainment, this is a good choice, but there are perhaps better ways to get more bang for your buck by combining other Waikiki attractions for a fun and filling night.

Polynesia magic show Waikiki. Latest technology is introduced into lighting, sound, and video. A beautiful Polynesian dancer with a beautiful Polynesian dancer from Hawaii's veteran magician John hilawawa (the day when the other magician appears) is a gorgeous version of magic and Polynesian Nintendo. It is Roberts Hawaii which is known as a transfer bus.

I always think magic is a very magical activity, and the magic show I saw here feels very good, I feel really good, and the people are very handsome.

Fantastic performances make people feel special excitement, especially this magic special praise endless ah very beautiful layout.

Waikiki magazine

With the low rumble of rolling thunder and the call of a conch shell, the show begins! Magic of Polynesia showcases the allure of the hula, the intensity of fire-knife dancing and the theatrics of a Vegas stage show in the heart of Waikiki. Shining at the center of it all is the magic of illusionist John Hirokawa.

The show blends the performances of a Polynesian review with jaw-dropping illusions. John Hirokawa is a winner of the prestigious Merlin Award. Magic of Polynesia is one of the longest-running shows of its style in the world.

Magic of Polynesia is one of the longest-running shows of its style in the world, and moves with a practiced speed that defies you to spot its secrets. Performing for kama‘aina and visitors alike since 1990, Magic of Polynesia was originally designed to bring the theatrics of a David Copperfield-style performance to Hawai‘i under the guise of a produced Polynesian stage show. What it has evolved into is a combination of three main elements to the overall set. First is the Polynesian-influenced dance and performance numbers. Second, are the over-the-top, stage-spanning illusions. Finally, there are plenty of interactions with the audience for close-up magic and more than a few jokes.

The host for the 75-minute performance is Hawai‘i-born-and-raised illusionist John Hirokawa. His goal is to guide his international audience through a performance that entertains while challenging your expectations. And Hirokawa has the chops to do just that. The master illusionist is a previous winner of the prestigious Merlin Award from the International Magicians Society (think: Oscars for magicians). Does the guy in the front row look like a bit of a stuffed-shirt? Let Hirokawa put him on stage with a few props and one of the beautiful assistants and find out just how crazy he can get. It’s all about perception, and like any good magic act, Magic of Polynesia wants to play with how you see things. Whether the surprise comes from the reveal at the tug of a covering sheet or the punch line of a joke; it is genuinely a good time for the entire family.

Set in the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber, Magic of Polynesia is a fun evening of entertainment that certainly seems geared towards visitors at first glance. However, kama‘aina looking for a night out will be thrilled to find a bit of Vegas-style theatrics a lot closer to home.
