Magic shows in Aruba

Hope this is a god place to post.
My wife and I are looking forward to coming to Aruba in March 08, for our Honeymoon. It will be our first trip, and we are staying at the Divi all-inclusive.

Here is my question;
I am a magician, and would like to know if there is anywhere on the island that has any kind of magical entertainment, magic shows, mentalists, juggling, that sort of thing. Any ideas let me know.

Also, as I do often when I go out, I may end up entertaining around the bar for fun, and only if the situation is correct. Any idea of how this might go over?

Thank you in advance for the help.

THere used to be a magic show at the ALhambra but its gone. DOn't know of any other acts like that. I am sure someone out there can probably answer this. I think it would be cool and entertaining to see someone act at a bar............

i don't think it would be bad but i think you might have to get the bar's permission to do this type of thing..i'm not sure on that..my buddy who is a bartender always does a little magic act while he's working and people love it..

As cindyo said there had been a magic show at the Alhambra casino. I think it was April '06 when it closed. Would love to see your act. Do your act at Bugaloe's Pier bar. I'm sure everyone would love seeing it. I know I would. http://www.bugaloe.com/

Thank you all for the advice and tips. I only perform if the situation is correct, and the bar is willing. I would also never perform if there is other entertainment there. The bartenders are there to make money, and I am just out for fun, so I never get in their way. We are looking forward to the trip, and I am sure some of my props will end up coming with me.

Thanks,
Ryan

There are none right now, but it was correct that there was an act, name was Seinfeld(sp), he was at the Alhambra for maybe 2 years, then left. I saw it once and it was OK, the guy really tried, but there was maybe only 5 people in the audience. The show was held in the theater right off the Casino. Actually it was a nice little set-up.
