The Signature Show at Chicago Magic Lounge is a live magic show in Chicago that blends close-up and parlor magic into a single evening of immersive, live entertainment inspired by Chicago-style magic pioneers.

The experience begins with close-up magic performed right at your cabaret table by our house magicians inside the Harry Blackstone Cabaret Theater™. Between performances, guests can relax, enjoy drinks, and order from our full-service bar and kitchen while continuing to socialize with the guests at their table.

The evening continues with a 60-minute parlor-style stage show featuring some of the most accomplished magicians working today, combining storytelling, sleight of hand, and theatrical magic.

Guests seated in Front Row, Main Floor Cabaret, and Main Floor Banquette also receive access to an exclusive post-show close-up performance in our 43-seat close-up gallery, The 654 Club. Limited availability.

Chicago Magic Lounge is a 21+ venue. Individuals over the age of 16 are allowed to attend The Signature Show when accompanied by an adult over the age of 21.
