The Magic Parlour

Show Information

Experience Jaw-Dropping Magic. Step into 3rd Generation Magician Dennis Watkins’ brand new custom magic theater in the heart of downtown Chicago. Located adjacent to Goodman Theatre, Chicago’s longest-running magic show has a new home, specifically designed to showcase up-close magic and mind reading. Inspired by the history of parlour magic as its own unique genre, Dennis Watkins’ The Magic Parlour  offers an intimate magical experience for only 60 guests per performance. Grab a glass of wine, settle in and reconnect with your sense of childlike wonder as miracles unfold inches in front of your eyes, and even in your own hands. Delighting audiences for 15 years, see for yourself why Dennis Watkins “is without an obvious peer” (Chicago Tribune).
Legendary actor and magician Steve Valentine takes the stage at The Magic Parlour for a limited event September 10 – 20, 2026.
You’ll know legendary actor Steve Valentine for his hundreds of appearances in shows like Crossing Jordan, I’m in the Band, House, Mom and Psych, BUT… few know that Steve is also a world-renowned, multi–award-winning magician, celebrated for his wildly energetic and brilliantly entertaining live performances.
 
This September Steve brings that same world-class showmanship, charisma, and technical mastery to The Magic Parlour.
 
Valentine‘s personal house blend of brilliant sleight of hand and mischievous comedy is simply unmatched. Clever never looked so good! So join us for an unforgettable evening with Steve Valentine, we promise a wild ride of pure fun and wonder—no politics, no agenda—just real entertainment.

The Magic Parlour  is a 90-minute experience. There is no intermission.
