Dennis Watkins’ The Magic Parlour is an intimate evening of classic magic and mind-reading at Chicago’s legendary Palmer House Hotel. Step into the grand lobby and bask in the glamour of historic Chicago as Watkins personally guides you through the hotel and into a private ballroom. 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. This is an intimate, sophisticated night out designed for a grown-up audience (guests 12 and older will be admitted). So, don your fancy duds for a night on the town. Grab a seat at the card table with Dennis Watkins for more magic after the show with The Encore Room VIP Experience. The Encore Room is included in select Goldstar tickets.
