"I came here not knowing what to expect but had an amazing time, and I have NO idea how he did ANY of the magic, but it was unbelievable.
I HIGHLY recommend going to see this show!"

The Magic Parlour

presented by The House Theatre of Chicago

Award-winning, third-generation magician Dennis Watkins delivers an evening of sophisticated tom-foolery in one of Chicago's most unique entertainment experiences. The Magic Parlour is a sophisticated, grown up magic show, replete with mind-blowing sleight of hand and impossible mind reading set in an intimate room at the historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel.

"This was beyond amazing. Worth EVERY penny to sit feet from an amazing magician...

Dennis is so skillful at what he does...

This was a highlight of our trip.

"A perfect evening of illusion and laughter. The Magic Parlour transformed a roomful of tired adults into wide-eyed, wide awake innocents."

-Chicago Theater Beat
