You’ll feel swept up in live illusions as scarves become birds and cards vanish right under your nose at Broadway at the Beach. Enjoy colorful dance numbers, friendly jokes from Charles Bach himself, and end your night with a personal meet & greet—plus photos that’ll make you smile later.
We’d barely found our seats at the Charles Bach Wonders Theatre in Myrtle Beach when the lights dipped and this hush fell over everyone — even the kids behind us stopped fidgeting. Then Charles himself just strolled out, grinning like he knew something we didn’t (which, yeah, he definitely did). The first trick had scarves turning into birds right in front of us. I swear I felt a little breeze from their wings. There was this faint smell of popcorn in the air too, kind of grounding with all the wild stuff happening on stage.
I’m not usually big on magic shows — but watching Charles do these Las Vegas style illusions up close is different from TV. He joked around with people in the front row (one guy almost dropped his phone when a card ended up under his seat), and the dancers brought this burst of color every time they spun past. Our guide for the night was actually one of the ushers; she told us Charles has performed everywhere from Caesars Palace to Penn & Teller Fool Us. Felt weirdly cool to see him here in South Carolina.
The best part? After the show, you get to meet Charles for photos — he actually remembered my kid’s name and asked if she wanted to try a magic word (she froze up but managed a whisper; Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin — probably butchered it). The whole thing lasted about 75 minutes but honestly, it felt faster. I still think about that moment with the floating rose — no idea how he did it.
