ENTER THE WORLD OF MAGIC
Steve Cohen’s Chamber Magic: A Demonstration of Modern Conjuring

You don’t have to believe in magic to enjoy this show. Steve Cohen, who holds the esteemed rank of Member of the Inner Magic Circle (MIMC) and has a degree in Psychology from Cornell University, amazes believers and non-believers alike at his regular show held at the Waldorf Towers. Here he will move objects without touching them and reveal personal details about audience members whom he has never met.

The event takes place in a suite that holds only forty people, creating an intimate atmosphere where magic is performed, quite literally, right before your eyes. The setting is reminiscent of early 20th century New York, and guests are encouraged to wear cocktail dress to enhance the feel of an old-time, upscale, saloon party held in a personal friend's parlor room.

When: Fridays, 7:00 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Where: The Waldorf Towers, 50th Street between Park and Lexington

Admission: $55
