Get ready to see some of the world's greatest illusions up close in this magic-filled wonderland.

Toronto's Illusionarium exhibit is a spell-binding new attraction that is making its world premiere in the city next month.

Running from December 14, 2020, to February 15, 2021, the immersive experience will sweep you back in time, where you can explore the different eras of magic.

Created by British magician Jamie Allan and produced by the innovators behind the Immersive Van Gogh, the exhibit will sweep you through 300,000 cubic feet of magic. 

Dazzling 3D projections, holograms, and live magicians will take you on a journey through the evolution of magic, and you can learn the deepest secrets and stories behind world-famous illusionists.

The fantastical attraction is comprised of four rooms, each one dedicated to a different era of magic spanning hundreds of years.

You'll step into 19th century Paris to meet the great Houdini, travel back in time to Egypt, and even take a trip into the future to see where the world of magic is headed.

The exhibit will run alongside the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in Toronto's historic printing press building.

Tickets go on sale on November 14, and safety regulations are in place when visiting the exhibit.
