Amazing Magic night at The Midland Hotel, Manchester
Magic at The Midland was an absolutely fantastic show. The tricks were unbelievably mind blowing and the magician Steve, performed the tricks in an amusing and informative way. I would definitely recommend anyone to go to see him perform. A fantastic night in general, as the Midland hotel is an amazing venue where you can have a cocktail etc., in the stylish bar beforehand. There was a very large wedding taking place in one of the larger suites at the same time, but bar staff still found time for other visitors who like us, who were attending the magic show in another smaller function room. The hotel bar staff were attentive and friendly.
Response from the operator: You're right! The Midland hotel is incredible - you say "wow" before the show has started! It was the busiest I have seen the hotel in two years, but the staff are always fantastic. Thank you for coming.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manchester.
How much does Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor cost?
+
Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manchester usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manchester is not rushed.
Is Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Manchester, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manchester can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manchester and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Magic at the Midland - "Manchester's NUMBER ONE show" Tripadvisor start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manchester within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Manchester?
+
On Outty we rank every Manchester experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manchester Afternoon Walking Tour with local guide Gareth, Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience in Manchester, Step Inside the Game Show–The Crystal Maze Experience Manchester. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Manchester?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Manchester?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
