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.
