Orlando Magic History

Orlando Florida had its origins like many cities in the US. Take a small fort built to safeguard against the local tribes of indigenous people, add a few homesteaders who settled around the fort, then add a whole lot of people looking for land, fortune, and excitement, and pretty soon you have a small town. Soon that town was burgeoning into a big city. There are many tales of how Orlando got its name, but we will never really know if any of them are true. We do know that it is now known as the Theme Park Capital of the World, having 5 out of 10 of the world's most visited theme parks.
Back when Orlando was still just another growing city in America and J.K. Rowling, the creator of the world of Harry Potter, was not even born, there was still plenty of magic to be found. One favorite magician, known in Orlando as Mister Magic, was Harry Wise. He moved to Sanford, Florida as a young man, and had is own children's show on Orlando's local television station. He was probably best known for his show Doctor Jekyll's Weird Show which was part magic and part fright-fest. The show included hypnotism, magic, fake snakes and actors dressed as various monsters such as Frankenstein. Harry later went on to have a mentalist show and even joined the circus in his 50s, becoming a ringmaster. Always an entertainer and showman, Harry was well-loved in central Florida, not only for his talents but for being a true humanitarian as well.
Just as Harry was doing his last spook shows, Walt Disney was opening its newest theme park, Walt Disney World, with The Magic Kingdom being the first theme park to open in the complex. To many young children it was truly magic. To visit the Cinderella Castle or to hug their favorite Disney character was a magical experience. Soon Orlando was a major theme park destination. It was this new popularity as a tourist destination that the famous Canadian magician, Doug Henning turned his eyes towards Orlando. He had quit magic for a new passion, transcendental meditation and the teachings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. His new plan was to develop a concept for an amusement park dedicated to what he saw as the life-transforming practice of meditation. The focus was to be on enlightenment, knowledge, and entertainment. In 1988, an announcement was made about the grand plans for this oddly inspired theme park, and Orlando, Florida was in the running as a possible location. In the end, Henning decided on Niagara Falls in Canada as the future location, but the money was never raised and Doug Henning then died at the young age of 52.
So, although Orlando never saw the opening of the Maharishi Veda Land theme park, it soon became home to the Universal Orlando Resort and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And as everyone knows Harry Potter is magic. You can visit Universal Studios versions of Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade, and for a truly magical experience get yourself an interactive wand. These special wands allow you to cast spells in specific spots around the park which are well marked (although some locations are a secret that must be discovered). There is still lots of magic of both the old-fashioned and the newfangled kind going on in Orlando, Florida, and no matter the reason you might find yourself there, both kinds are worth checking out.

PAST Orlando Magic Shows

Penn and Teller
Hard Rock LIve
6050 Universal Blvd
Orlando, FL 32819The "bad boys of magic" have been wowing audiences in Las Vegas for over 20 years. Why bad boys you say? Well, they have the bad habit of revealing how it's done! But it never seems to take away from the amazing wow factor of what they do! Their act is surprising, clownish, and well... unconventional. They have been making headlines for years with their many TV shows, Broadway performances, and sold out runs. The chemistry between this duo is magical. They love to meet their fans, so don't miss the "meet and greet" after the show or catch their Vegas show.

Justin is taking a break from his Roosevelt Hotel Los Angeles magic theater residency with a 21 year old age limit but his touring show is for all ages.
