As a Chicago magician I find myself performing in a wide variety of venues.  I’ve done birthday party magic shows in living rooms, performed close up magic in restaurants and presented my comedy magic show in hotel banquet rooms for corporate entertainment.  But in all of these myriad shows, I have never performed at a baseball stadium.

Until now.

Starting this Sunday I will be performing my unique brand of close up magic for kids at the Lake County Fielders baseball stadium in Zion, IL (about an hour north of Chicago)!  In addition to performing my tried and true tricks, I’m excited to be performing magic I’ve specially designed for the client (similar to the type of material I create when I’m performing trade show magic to sell a company’s product or service).  The organization has also asked me to perform between innings on the field!  I only have 90 seconds, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to perform any magic, but it’s going to be a great exercise in creativity in any case.

In fact, if you have any ideas for short comic bits I could do in 90 seconds or less that are (ideally) magic related, let me know!

I’ll be at the stadium from 12-3 pm on August 1st, 8th, 22nd and September 5th.  If you’re interested in coming, check out the Fielders website for more information.

Hope to see you at the ball game!
