We've got an exciting one this week, as we're going behind the scenes into themed experiences at parks, on stage and at one of the most famous restaurants in the world with none other than Chris Cox!
Did you know he worked on the effects for the Harry Potter staged show, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? Or that when he's not busy on tour with the Illusionists — the world's most successful live show — he's busy trying to figure out Tokyo Disney Resort secrets on YouTube? (Because oh yeah, he's one of us!)
Join this star of Broadway, BBC and British fine dining as we dive into the mystique of themed experiences with one of the world's best illusionists, magicians and mind readers!

That's right, this week, Shelby is on Very Amusing to tell us all about its wild sights, and proves we've all been sleeping on Gatorland!
