I got wind of this tour and decided to try it out with a group of young teens. I highly recommend this tour for families, groups, and any one who wants a fun and an entertaining 90 minutes."

The Great Philly What?
Are you looking for new, unique "Things to do in Philly"? Try one of Philly's most unique attractions, a walking tour that is also a walking magic show. Take a stroll in Old City Philadelphia for comedy, magic, and mystery, inspired by history!
Award winning magician, Robert Malissa, leads you on a walking tour to historic and offbeat locations. The history of each is the basis for a fun and jaw-dropping magic trick. In the program are:
The True Story of the American Flag, sung outside the Betsy Ross House
A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned, performed outside Benjamin Franklin's House
A Cure for the National Debt, outside the 1st Bank of the U.S.
A Quick History of the U.S. Dollar, outside the 2nd Bank of the U.S.
.... and much, much more!
You will never see Philadelphia the same way again!
(Appropriate for ages 13 and up)
Approximately 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Starting 2025 Introducing a
seated theatrical version of the tour!
Due to many requests, the tour is now also in a comfortable indoor theater. The show is a mixture of audio/video presentations of the historic sites with the magic performed live. The show can be performed in our location, or in a space that you provide. Perfect for senior groups, corporate groups, or groups needing a night time activity. (Call 267-566-8897, or email info@phillymagictours.com for details)

Audience Instructions
The walking tour is outdoors and weather dependent. If the weather looks sketchy, please call 267-566-8897 to determine if the walking tour will be performed. All decisions will be made at least 1 hour before showtime. (Tickets are fully refundable if canceled due to weather).
We meet behind the Bourse (near 4th and Ranstead Streets). Please come 15 minutes early to check-in, and use the bathrooms at the Bourse if needed. The walking tour starts promptly and there are no bathroom breaks which means you'd have to split off and find your way back to the group.

He has a very warm style with the goal of sharing the joy inherent in a moment of magic. Rob encourages participation and ensures that his volunteers have a great time. He is the winner of the Philadelphia Houdini Award, and a recipient of both stage and close-up magic awards from the Society of American Magicians.
