Spend the Christmas season with the family by watching “Magic On Ice”, an ice illusion spectacular that has wowed millions of audiences in the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia. This year, Filipino families have the chance to watch the show for the first time. It will run from December 25 to January 1, 2019 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

A new and exciting show you shouldn’t miss, creator Steve Wheeler describes “Magic On Ice” as “a unique combination of ice skating and magic”. It combines the speed and the elegance, the power and beauty of ice skating with big, theatrical magic illusions.

Wheeler says, “The audience will see lightning fast appearances, vanishes and transformations, beautiful levitations, death-defying escapes, and some real fun, interactive comedy numbers that involve members of the audience.”

And this is where the thrill happens.

At one point in the show, the “Magic On Ice” performers will bring in select kids from the audience to participate in one of the segments. If you want your kids to be part of it, you may visit the Magic On Ice Facebook page (only for Patron /VIP ticket holders) to join the raffle for slots. Send a Direct Message via the FB page (@aranetacoliseumchristmasshows), with a photo of your tickets, your name and contact details, as well as the names and ages of the kids you want to nominate to the show. Only two kids per entry are eligible.

The “Magic On Ice” kiddie audience slots are for kids aged 5 to 12, and they must be ticket holders themselves. Follow the instructions on the FB page for this extraordinary chance to give your kids a magical Christmas memory.
