'Carnival of Wonders' in Atlantic City

What Is It: Kalin and Jinger began as a magic team, putting on performances full of magic and mystery. Later they teamed up with comedy magician Jeff Hobson, who added laughs and fun to their already popular act. The three are once again bringing their show to Atlantic City where they have received rave reviews in the past.

What To Expect: The "Carnival of Wonders" is not a typical magic show. Comedy, drama, dance and magic are mixed together and put into a carnival setting to keep audiences entertained. Prepare to be amazed by Kalin, Jinger and Hobson's magical and comedic ability.

  I attended the show Carnival of Wonders at Trump Plaza on 7/14/09. I wish I could say the show was good but I can't. Due to poor seating we could not see a thing!!! I'm sure it would have been nice if we could have seen it. The seats in that theater are horrible. We were in sec. 203 row C. The floor levels are flat with 3 rows on each. Only those in row A can see. If you are the unfortunate ones with tickets in rows B & C all you see are the backs of everyones heads. We purchased our tickets thru Ticketmaster ( which was an automated nightmare) because the Box Office at the Plaza was closed when we stopped for tickets the day before. I would recommend to those wanting to attend the show to buy them at the Box Office when it is open so you can see where your seats are. If you see your seats would be in row B & C save your money. That theater is in dire need of a seating makeover. Until that happens they should not sell tickets for NO-VIEW seats. We will never attend a show there again.
