This place lives up to its reviews. We found this bar online through searching around for interest bars in Tokyo. This place was highly rated, and since my fiancee and I were fans of drinking and magic, this seemed like a perfect fit. Long story short - it is a 3500 yen all-you-can-drink for 90 minutes menu with a live show and some close-up magic performances right at your table. This is the only option available, but it is well worth the money. The magicians are very entertaining and sufficiently technically skilled. The close up magic is particularly entertaining, since it is typically performed when there are multiple guests (hence a wide range of angles) and each magician has a different performance for variety. Overall, this is a great deal for its price and it had great entertainment, showmanship and customer service for its price. My fiancee and I were very impressed, and we would certainly come again.

Not sure how anyone attended one of these shows and had a bad time! It was amazing (and weird, yes), but I couldn't stop watching! I'm not into robots or anime or anything like that, but this I could appreciate and have a great night out. Get there super early b/c the center/front seats get allocated to the early birds, oh, and the bar/waiting area is awesome (fab decor and a mini pre-show). Don't eat dinner there -- it's not really a restaurant. Have fun!!!
