WonderWorks Orlando Celebrates America’s 250th With a Summer of Magic: Red, White & WOW at the Family-Friendly Magic Dinner Show
America is celebrating a huge milestone this summer, and WonderWorks Orlando is bringing the party to Central Florida! To commemorate 250 years of the country’s independence, The Outta Control Magic Dinner Show at Orlando’s favorite upside-down house will be presenting the “Summer of Magic: Red, White and WOW!” throughout the month of July 2026. This is a new, special show that guests of all ages will not want to miss, offering a magically patriotic tribute to our nation’s founding.
“When I began thinking about how to celebrate this milestone at the magic show, I focused on the unique qualities of the United States,” said Phillip Kaiser, resident magician at The Outta Control Magic Dinner Show. “Innovation, opportunity, and equal rights for all factored into creating fun, interactive magical moments that will entertain and amaze our guests!”
Orlando locals and vacationers alike can catch more magic than ever before at WonderWorks this summer. The Summer of Magic will be held at 6 pm and 8 pm every night in July, with an additional 4 pm show time every Saturday throughout the month.
What to expect:
The new patriotic-themed show, “Summer of Magic: Red, White and WOW!”, celebrates America’s history, innovation, and imagination through a series of magical moments. Guests will experience a celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, uncover the mysteries hidden within the American dollar, watch young audience members create their own wonder through interactive magic, and enjoy dazzling illusions and sleight-of-hand inspired by America’s greatest innovations. The show also shines a spotlight on Florida’s unique contributions to the nation.
Your freedom feast:
Along with the patriotic birthday party happening on stage, guests can dive into a classic American feast of unlimited pizza and salad, unlimited beer and wine, and a tasty, themed dessert to wrap up the night. There will also be two specialty cocktails available for purchase.
• Star-Spangled Sipper – Cranberry Juice, Southern Comfort Cherry Liqueur, and Vodka
• Blue Liberty – Pineapple Juice, White Rum, and Blue Curacao
The show will be performed five nights a week by resident magician, Phillip Kaiser. The other two nights will take on a unique twist with featured performances from guest headliners, including Jimmy Rook, Matt Marberry, Scott Humston, and Neils Sayers. Tickets often sell out and can be purchased in advance online. Let the celebration begin!
