Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask/post this: I am looking for some insider tips for watching magic (show, close-up magic etc) in Chicago, IL on March 15-17. What would you recommend? I really appreciate your insights because I was not very successful when searching in Google. Thanks, Michael |

At eight years old, Supernatural Chicago is the longest running magic-based theatre performance in Chicago history. It has been called one of the Top 10 Things To Do In Chicago by the travel community at TripAdvisor.com, a "perennial hot ticket" by RedEye Chicago, and caused the Chicago Tribune to marvel, "Is it real? Or isn't it?"
Only 50 guests are seated at each interactive performance. To ensure that you have a ticket for the March 16th show, please visit http://SupernaturalChicago.com (If you had arrived on a Wednesday, you'd also be able to catch the Magic Cabaret at the Greenhouse Theater. It's a fun show, so maybe you can catch it next time.) Best, Neil

Does Chicago currently have performers working any restaurants? Any additional places offering shows from June 21st - June 24 would be most welcome.

The above is, unfortunately, an old listing in tragic need of updating. Please call the venues before making the trip.
