I love seeing magic and laughing and Trickery Chicago delivered. I was with friends I’d not seen in years and we all loved the space, performer, and show. The theatre seats only 35 guests so magic happens literally under your nose. Comedian/magician Arron is a personable host, and an energetic charismatic entertainer.
The interactive hour show is fast-paced and builds from fun tricks to astounding miracles. During the show you’ll be introduced to Hoppy, a mindreading bunny (sentient -if stuffed) and you’ll witness Elle the pink elephant appear and vanish. It’s clear Aaron is a highly skilled professional who loves his job, theatre, and audiences. His vitality is infectious and he works hard at making impossible things happen, just so you’ll leave scratching your head in wonder when it’s over.
This is entertainment for grown-ups so leave the kids at the hotel, there are some bawdy moments and clever innuendo. The tiny East Lakeview hidden gem offers up a lot of warmth and entertainment at a reasonable cost. You may even BYOB if you like to imbibe.
