We know you have seen the Mouse a thousand times, but not like this. Mickey and the gang are headed to the UCF arena for a very magical performance. From levitating Minnie Mouse to Cinderella’s instant transformation for the ball - right before your eyes - families will gasp with delight as magicians perform the seemingly impossible when Disney Live! presents Mickey’s Magic Show.
Unlike shows at the parks, after two performances on March 13 at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. and a wave of Mickey’s wand this show will disappear. But PLAYGROUND wants to hook up two lucky families to enjoy the magic before it’s gone. For your chance to win one of two family-four packs of tickets, tell us your fave magic trick below. Two winners will be chosen at random on Friday, February 25, 2011.
Learn more and purchase tickets to Mickey’s Magic Show at www.disney.go.com/disneylive/mickeysmagicshow. (Tickets start at just $15, a lot less than a day at Disney.)
CONGRATS to the winners who have been contacted directly.

My favorite magic trick is the classic one of magically appear a quarter behind a child’s ear. It is magical to see a young child’s reaction everytime it is performed.

My daughter (3) just saw her first magic show while we were on a cruise in the fall. She liked the rabbit in the hat trick and the fancy costumes of the assistant.

Definitely rabbit out of the hat … who doesn’t love a cute bunny!

The best magic trick that I’ve ever seen was when a magician had a glass of water and he put a cover over it and placed it upside down and then he pulled the glass up and the water was still floating in the shape of the glass. I have no idea how the trick was done but it was amazing!

My favorite trick is when they pull a rabbit out of a hat!

My favorite is when they escape from a tank filled with water. March 13 is my daughter’s 2 birthday!!!

I am always amazed at the card tricks, how do they always know which one you picked?

My kids like the one that they have circle metal rings and they put them together, and then separate them without using any force… And then after they start with one piece of fabric and then they pull and pull and pull more fabrics of diferent colors out of the first one they started with. I think is pretty cool. :) love Mickey and the Magic Shows ….

My son’s favorite magic trick is when they get someone to float in the air….. I too think that’s a pretty cool trick…. It would definitely be cool to see Mickey floating in air:)

I always enjoy the Houdini type tricks. By kids love to watch them as well. However, the classic pulling of a rabbit from a hat always wins the Oohs and Aahs!

Illusions where someone disappears ~ always amazes my daughter and keeps her mind busy trying to figure out how it was done. She has come up with some very unique theories! Imagination is a wonderful thing!

I love watching children’s faces when they see a coin appear behind their ear! My son thinks it is the greatest thing. He is a HUGE Mickey fan and would love to take him for his 4th Birthday.

My favorite magic trick isn’t really magic at all, but I love when my 17 month old sees the side doors on our minivan open when we are still in the car or outside the car. To her it is the most magical thing out there and her face is absolutely precious when seeing the “magically” open!

We always find the the magicians who can get themselves out of locked chains (especially underwater) the most exciting. Definitely a lesson in remaining cool under pressure.

My 6 year old is intrigued by the trick where a person goes in the box and is then “cut in half” with a saw…”how do they do that mom!!!???”
Good luck everyone!

My fave trick is one that my dad use to do with us…not really magic..but we thought so when we were young. While waiting in the car for my mom to come back out from an errand, my dad use to turn the car light on and tell us to blow it out…every time we’d blow the light, it would go off.., he’d snap his fingers at the light, and it would come back on…magic right? we thought so.

My absolute favorite magic trick is the fast change of clothing that the women do. I am an adult, and I still sit with my mouth wide opened every time I witness it.

We love illusions ~ makes you put your mind to work. Imagination is such a wonderful thing!
