The Experience

Hidden behind the façade of a small neighborhood laundromat, an Art Deco-inspired space opens into a world of craft cocktails and close-up magic.

The Performance Bar

Your evening begins in the speakeasy-style lounge, where close-up magic unfolds just inches away as you enjoy craft cocktails and shareable small plates. Pro-tip: You don’t need tickets if you just want to visit the bar.

The Harry Blackstone Cabaret

From there, you move into the cabaret theater for a live performance that blends close-up and stage magic, featuring a curated lineup of professional magicians from Chicago and around the world.

The Tradition

Chicago Magic Lounge is rooted in Chicago’s long tradition of close-up and bar magic, an intimate performance style that helped shape the city’s magic history.

Each week brings a rotating lineup of magicians, so every visit features different performers and material.

This is sleight-of-hand-driven magic in a speakeasy setting, performed up close with the audience interacting directly with the magic.

— Elle Gordon | Belfast Telegraph
“The whole evening is essentially one big performance, and during it, magicians must believe in what they’re doing for it to feel real for the spectator. And when the spectator gets lost in the moment completely, even for a second — that’s it. That’s the real magic.”
