The Basics

Award-winning illusionist Jonathan David Bass has performed all around the world and is now in residence at Prague’s trendy M1 Lounge, an 80-seat venue that offers all audience members an intimate view of his tricks.

How to Get There

The M1 Lounge is located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, just north of the Tyn Church. It’s best to arrive on foot, as the streets in this part of the city are narrow and winding, and not all of them have vehicle access. The nearest metro station is Staromĕstská, about a 10-minute walk away.

When to Get There

The Prague Illusion is performed on Saturday evenings only. Aim to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime to choose a seat and enjoy refreshments.

Black-Light Theater in Prague
