Prepare for a wickedly entertaining night of magic and comedy at our special one-night-only Halloween event! Join us on Thursday, October 31, for The Signature Show: Halloween Spooktacular, a wickedly fun evening of magic and mischief.

True to Chicago-style magic, the first hour will feature walk-around magic performed right at your table by our resident magicians.

Guests who purchase tickets for the Front Row, Main Floor Cabaret, and Main Floor Banquette are invited to an exclusive close-up magic performance by the devilishly deceptive Paige Thompson directly after the main stage show in our 43-seat close-up gallery, The 654 Club—limited availability.

Artist-in-Residence: Mister Danny’s Magic in Session

By day, Mister Danny is Mister Rudnick, an advanced high school chemistry teacher. By night (and weekends and summer break), he practices his lifelong passion as an award-winning professional magician. In Magic in Session, Mister Danny fuses his two professional personas into one, presenting awe-inspiring magic that he has perfected over years of practice and study in a way only a science teacher can. While most magicians go to great lengths to conceal the secrets of magic, Mister Danny believes that the secret is the best part!

Magic in Session will be presented on Wednesdays at 7:00pm, October 2 – December 18, 2024. Tickets are priced $42.50 (Main Floor) and $47.50 (Front Row).
