Top 5 Places We’ve Performed (and Loved)

We’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world doing what we love—performing magic. And while most people travel to relax, sightsee, or eat their weight in local pastries, we mostly traveled with giant cases full of props. Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to visit some incredible places. Below are some of our favorite destinations we’ve been to (so far!):

1. Paris, France - I’ll admit it—Paris wasn’t high on our travel bucket list. But when we were invited to perform on a French TV show Le Plus Grand Cabaret du monde, we jumped at the opportunity. The producers flew us in a few days early, so we had time to explore. One afternoon, we went in search of Musée de la Magie, a magic and animatronics museum Jason had heard about. We ended up walking the wrong direction, but it didn’t matter. The streets were lined with unique outdoor markets, the architecture was stunning, and even the light rain felt kind of magical. Paris surprised us, and we’re so glad it did.

2. The Baltic Region - This part of the world stole our hearts. We visited Germany, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden during a Baltic tour, and the charm and history of the cities were unforgettable. If you love old, beautiful buildings, this is the place to go. There’s something truly special about this region, and although it’s been a while since we were there, it remains a personal favorite. No wonder so many Germans settled in Pennsylvania—it really does feel familiar (Same vibe, but with fewer Wawas!)

3. Alaska, USA - We’ve spent quite a bit of time performing on cruise ships through Alaska, and the views never get old. It’s jaw-droppingly beautiful every single time. We’ve seen whales breaching while eating dinner, and when we’re docked in Skagway, we always rent a car and hit the one road out of town. It’s impossible to get lost—and the ever-changing landscape as you drive toward Canada is breathtaking.

4. Driving Across the U.S. - Every American should drive across the country at least once. Not because it's easy (it’s not), but because it will give you a deep appreciation for the country’s natural beauty and variety. From the forests of the Northeast to the palm trees of California, every region is its own adventure. The Rockies are awe-inspiring, Arizona looks like another planet, and springtime in Los Angeles is perfection. If you ever get the chance to drive across the country—take it.

5. China - China was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It came with its share of challenges—from shipping our show equipment across the globe to navigating a very different culture—but it was unforgettable. Walking a section of the Great Wall is something we’ll always treasure. It’s a place we’re glad we got to experience!

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to perform in these amazing places. Every destination added something unique to our journey—and we can’t wait to see where magic takes us next.
