David Parr returns as artist in residence at the Chicago Magic Lounge!

David Parr has been thinking about magic for more than fifty years. It began at age seven when he received a magic set as a gift. Since then, David has brought the experience of mystery and wonder to audiences around the world. His relationship with the Chicago Magic Lounge goes back to 2018 when he was the venue’s first artist in residence. His show David Parr’s Cabinet of Curiosities was a huge success and ran for a year until the spring of 2019. David is thrilled to be returning to the Chicago Magic Lounge with his latest show, Magical Thinking with David Parr. This show is a celebration of the power of magical thinking, and it takes a look at the human desire to experience things that make us feel a sense of awe. Through games and storytelling, history and folklore, David explores the ways in which magic provides a respite from the restrictions of the everyday world: objects vanish and transform, time seems to rewind, hidden thoughts are revealed, and spooky spirits drop in to visit. David is a true master of the art of magic, and he invites you to join him for an enchanting evening of wonder and amazement!

Magical Thinking is presented on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, July 3 – September 25, 2024. Tickets are priced at $42.50 (Main Floor) and $47.50 (Front Row).

David Parr has been thinking about magic for more than fifty years. It began at age seven, when he received a magic set as a gift. Since then, he has brought the experience of mystery and wonder to audiences all over the world — and he even fooled Penn & Teller on their hit TV show Fool Us and won a guest spot in their stage show in Las Vegas!

New Year’s Eve is a magical time, when the old year is transformed into a new one. David invites you to an enchanting evening of magical thinking, when we’ll imagine that the impossible is possible: objects vanish or levitate, time seems to rewind, hidden thoughts are revealed, and spooky spirits drop in to visit!

Milwaukee’s historic Brumder Mansion, built in 1910, has a magical reputation of its own: it is reputedly haunted! “I’ve seen things that I can’t explain there,” says Parr. “Doors opening by themselves, strange glowing lights in the dark. The Brumder Mansion is a perfect location for magic!”
