It's fair to say that, more than any other day of the year, we hope for something "magical" to happen on our birthdays.
And it seems one woman's birthday wish came true when, while she was sitting in the front row of the Magic Mike Live show, Channing Tatum not only made a surprise appearance but also changed her night for the better.
Magic Mike superfan Jessica Rose, known as @jessrosejones on TikTok, was planning to record the opening of the new Magic Mike Live performance, but she caught something way better on camera.
She has since shared a video that has gone viral of performer Channing Tatum appearing on stage before the live show began.
In the video, he approaches the edge of the stage, makes eye contact with Rose and proceeds to climb down and sit on her lap while rallying the crowd.
Rose simply captioned the video:
"Best birthday ever!"

@jessrosejones best birthday ever #magicmikelive #channingtatum #22
The video quickly gained traction with nearly 400 thousand likes and almost 7000 comments.
Fellow fans were, obviously, super excited for Rose and maybe a little jealous.

In a pinned comment on the video, Rose further described her experience.
"Honestly, the greatest night of my life."
"Magic Mike is so worth it (even if Channing doesn't sit on your lap)."
"I was too in shock to notice what he smelled like; sorry, ladies! I had no idea he was there!! He just came out and came over to me."
After some of the excitement wore off, Rose shared a sneak peek of the show and highly recommended it.
It included a recap of Rose's interaction with Tatum, as well as a highlight reel of some of her favorite moments from the live show, ranging from Broadway-esque performances to more explicit content.
This video, while not as popular as the previous one, also went viral with over 10-thousand likes and nearly 500 comments.
Rose captioned the video:
"GO AND SEE IT (Channing not guaranteed)!"

What a magical birthday this must have been for her.
While we cannot all go see Magic Mike Live on our birthdays, or in the company of Channing Tatum, it seems like seeing the live production in London will be a fun experience for all.
