The Palmer House Hilton is now the official home of The Magic Parlour.

Unlike any other magic show in Chicago, The Magic Parlour is an exceptionally unique experience, offering world-class magic in a phenomenal venue. Guests gather at the hotel’s Potter’s Lounge and are escorted to a private room on the third floor, where they are seated in a candle-lit, wood-paneled room that has been restored to its 1930′s splendor.

What follows is 75 minutes of mind-blowing magic and mentalism.

Tickets are available at www.themagicparlourchicago.com.

Hope to see you there!

“Watkins knows how to show us not just his skills and flourishes, but his dark complexities. I’ve seen Copperfield do that too, but only on those rare occasions when he reveals himself as Watkins does here…A highly polished and visually thrilling show that wouldn’t be out of place in Las Vegas, and that contains magic of the very highest order.”

The Chicago Tribune loved the show! Read the whole review here.

“[The show] soars on Dennis Watkins’ brilliance as a genuine magician…Watkins gives Houdini a real run for his money with his performance of spectacular card tricks, a walk on glass shards, escape from a straightjacket while hanging upside down, the swallowing and disgorging of razor blades, and finally, a reenactment of the fabled “water torture cell.”

The Chicago Sun times loved it, too! Read about it here.

“Dennis Watkins is simply magnificent,” says the Chicago Reader.

The House Theatre of Chicago opens Death and Harry Houdini this Sunday night!

I’m thrilled to be playing Harry Houdini for the third time in this fantastic show. We’ll run Sunday night through March 11th, with a run to follow in Miami this April.

The show includes some of my favorite magic, including Houdini’s Water Torture Cell escape!

And I walk on broken glass!

And escape from a straight jacket while hanging upside down!
