New $50 Million Magic Theater Coming To Chicago

I'll admit that when I was a kid growing up, I was a big nerd. Let's be honest, I still am. Back in those days, I really enjoyed magic. I remember watching magician specials on TV and going to magic shows around where I grew up. I couldn't get enough.

I even took a class to learn how to do magic tricks, and at the end, all of the students, including me, put on a show for family and friends. My favorite magician was Marshall Brodien, he played Wizzo the Wizard on the Bozo Show. Santa got me his magic set one year for Christmas.

Even though I'm not a magic super fan anymore, I still enjoy checking out a show every once in a while. I was excited that a brand new theater specifically for magic is coming to Chicago next year. I will definitely be going there at some point.

Magnificent Mile in Streeterville has long been home to designer fashion, Michelin-starred dining, and annual an Art Festival.

 

 

Soon, the famed district will enchant visitors with a sprawling $50 million magical theater destination called The Hand & The Eye.

 

Brainchild of Chicago healthcare entrepreneur Glen Tullman, the sorcery will span 36,000 square feet of the historic McCormick Mansion (formerly home to Lawry's Prime Rib), including not one but seven theaters, multiple bars, and a massive dining space—all dedicated to the art of illusion.
