Picking up tickets at Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center in Daejeon

This particular science magic show in Daejeon was held at Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center.

After parking and heading to the small theater, you can exchange your ticket on site haha

How seats are chosen: a tip before you go

Magician JT's Science Lab starts at 2 PM, and seats are first-come, first-choice when you pick up your ticket on site starting at 1 PM! Arrive early and you'll get a better seat for the show!

If you arrive late, I'd recommend the middle seats! Even the very back row has a good view, and if you want to get close to the magician and his assistant Toto to say hi, I'd recommend an aisle seat!

Inside the small theater and how the 60 minutes unfold

The popularity was obvious the moment we walked in... the theater was completely full. It was packed with families with kids, proof it's a popular show!

The kids were locked in the moment they sat down haha

As soon as the show started, Magician JT kept things going with his cheerful, energetic hosting. It wasn't just simple magic — amazing scientific principles like air pressure, optical illusions, and chemical reactions were woven right into the tricks, so the kids couldn't look away for a single second!

Kids and parents both get called up on stage

Best of all, it wasn't a show you just watch — kids could actually go up on stage and take part in the experiments, and the reaction was huge. Hands shot up everywhere with kids eager to join, and the theater got hot with all that energy (front-row seats have the advantage here)

There was also a round just for dads, and a time when moms could go up with their kids too. The whole family got to take part, which made it feel even more meaningful. Everyone who participated got a magic ticket! And lots and lots of prizes

I actually made it to the final four but lost right at the end, so annoying haha. Moms, definitely practice your rock-paper-scissors beforehand haha

Even if you don't go up on stage, there's plenty of hosting to keep you engaged right from your seat, and with so many performances packed in, the 60 minutes flies by. Watching everyone from little kids to elementary schoolers stay focused and burst into laughter and cheers made me happy right along with them — I really felt it was worth bringing the kids.

At the very end there's a laser show I'd never seen before! Photography wasn't allowed so I couldn't capture it, but it was genuinely stunning. A solid show right to the last minute!

Photo time with Magician JT after the show

Once the show ends there's a photo time, and you can take pictures at the photo zone on a first-come basis, so scope out the photo zone location before the show and head straight there once it's over (a little tip for beating the crowd haha)

Magic wands, picture books and other goods

During the show, JT teaches one optical illusion trick you can do yourself, and after the show they hand it out as a gift so you can try it at home! You need to subscribe to Magician JT's YouTube channel to get it, so don't forget to hit subscribe!

You can also buy magician goods. Magic wand ₩10,000, magic picture book ₩10,000, wand+book set ₩20,000. My kids each got a light-up magic wand and we called it a day! 🪄

Is Magician JT's Science Lab worth it?

When I asked the kids afterward, they said it was so much fun. Educational scientific principles blended with dazzling magic performances made for the best science magic show, giving the kids an unforgettable memory — Magician JT's Science Lab. Check the schedule for a nearby location and definitely go see it with your kids! 🪄🕴️
