Journalism and creative work from Chicago's next generation of storytellers

See Summer Magic at Chicago History Museum

Chicago Talks, July 5, 2012

For three weeks in July, the Museum is proud to welcome some of Chicago’s most talented magicians to the Rubloff Auditorium. You won’t believe your eyes!

Top hat as an icon for magic

Magician Sean Masterson’s theatrical magic show combines sleight of hand, mind-blowing illusions, and audience participation. He brings magic to life imaginatively, through stories, masks, and puppets—who also perform amazing feats.

Jeanette Andrews Magic

Magic Over the Rainbow with Daniel Orleans

Crayons vanish from a little girl’s hand and their vibrant colors spectacularly materialize in a blank coloring book. A Houdini-like escape from 50 feet of rope is made by a bewildered dad. Strange occurrences? Not if you’re watching Danny Orleans!

Cost for all events: Free with Museum admission. For groups of 10 or more, advanced reservations are required; please call 312.642.4600.
