The magic is back, and it’s hotter than ever. After a wildly successful debut season at The Palms Resort, the Magic & Comedy Destin residency is returning for an encore year—bringing fresh upgrades, up-close illusions and a high-energy experience that’s equal parts jaw-dropping and laugh-out-loud fun.
This isn’t your typical night out. From the moment you step into the newly enhanced showroom—now featuring all table seating—you’re part of the action. Sip your favorite cocktail (or mocktail) delivered straight to your table while world-class performers take the stage just inches away. No lines, no distractions—just pure, immersive entertainment.
At the center of it all is headliner Bart Rockett, a seasoned performer with a global résumé and a knack for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. With a career that spans more than 90 countries, his own nationally syndicated TV show and a long-running theater in Branson, Rockett brings big-stage talent to an intimate, coastal setting.
And here’s where it gets even more fun—his show blends slick, sophisticated magic with sharp comedy and crowd interaction, making every performance feel personal, unpredictable and completely unforgettable. Add in his signature ventriloquism (honed under the mentorship of Jeff Dunham), and you’ve got a night that truly delivers something for everyone.
Even better? It’s a family affair.
Rockett’s children, Kadan and Brooklyn, make special guest appearances throughout the season. You may recognize them from film, television and even a viral Super Bowl commercial with nearly 800 million views. Their star power adds an extra spark to an already electric production.
For Rockett, this residency is more than just another tour stop—it’s personal. Having vacationed in Destin since childhood, he’s returning to the place that first inspired him. “I am excited to be back for another season here on the Emerald Coast and to continue creating magical memories for our guests,” he shared.
Make it a full night out by arriving early—or lingering after the final curtain—at the newly opened Blue Lagoon restaurant, located right next to the showroom. Known for its Italian-inspired menu, it’s the perfect spot to dine, unwind and keep the evening going. Bonus: you can even bring your drinks into the theater.
Showtimes include 7 p.m. evening performances, with 4 p.m. matinees offered on select Sundays—perfect for date nights, girls’ nights, family outings or hosting out-of-town guests.
This show sells out quickly, and seating is limited—so grab your tickets in advance.
Parking is free, the vibe is electric and the magic? Absolutely unforgettable.
