Chicago Magic Lounge

A friend suggested this to me as a non-touristy activity I could do while I was in Chicago and it didn't disappoint. I went to a Sunday 7 PM show and while...

I booked the Chicago Magic Lounge for my friend's birthday and we really enjoyed the show. They suggest early arrival so you can enjoy the ambience and...

Excellent experience. The entire evening was enjoyable and positive. The magicians were top notch. Loved the multiple encounter experiences from personal...

so now I have been 4 times and every time it's a hoot. Close up magic is so much fun, it is a great space for a date night and for friends.

Second time here. This time at the Jazz and Magic night. What a delightful experience. Drinks are awesome, the jazz band was fantastic and the magicians were amazing. Highly recommend!

Such a fun, unique experience! The tickets are so well-priced considering you’re getting a few hours of music, magic, and even one on one magic for that flat price. There’s a bar with classic and more unique drinks as well, plus a kitchen. The magicians were great! They had cool tricks and they were excellent performers. Loved the mix of magic and music, the band was really talented as well! The space itself is also wonderful. You enter through a “laundromat” and head through beautifully decorated lounges to the theater area that’s not too large. This is a great one of a kind experience! It’s the perfect date night.

I expected a fun experience based on the reviews but couldn’t wait for it to end. We only had two very quick table tricks during the cocktail hour. The MC was over the top and added no value. She was enthusiastic but annoying and talked way too much. The first act had a few cool tricks but his generic jokes rarely hit. The second act was high school teacher and according to the MC, he was an award winning magician. I feel he would be a hit at a middle school party but not for adults. The most I laughed that night is when he passed out pamphlets with his social media accounts and had only 47 followers on Twitter. Don’t expect a Vegas type show. They may have some other acts who are good but I wouldn’t waste time or money to find out. I recommend arriving buzzed so there is a possibility to have a good time.

I cannot rave about this place enough. I and my boyfriend visited the Magic Lounge on our first night in Chicago and this place was the highlight of our trip. All of the staff were extremely friendly and it had a lovely ambiance. We were greeted by two magicians at our table while we got our drinks and food plus we got to know the history behind the Chicago Magic Lounge as well. The magic show in itself was something I cannot explain with words. It completely blew our minds and I cannot wait to be back again. A must-visit if you're in the city.

I guess the show is hit or miss depending on the performance. Mine was okay. I don't even remember his name. The introducer pumped him up stating that he...

Funtastic... Awesome... Great Entertainment... Up close magic performance Mixed with comical entertainment Even the location is magical Do NOT walk by without at least looking inside... Should be on your Chicago list of things to see and do...
