Schulien's Restaurant in Chicago opened in the late 1800's and remained operational until 1999. But its longevity is only surpassed by its notoriety as one of Chicago's restaurants that featured bar magic throughout most of its history. Founder and owner, Matt Schulien was the one who invented what has become known as "Chicago-Style Magic" which is fast and to the point. It was intentionally quick in order to keep moving, entertain the most people and sell a lot of liquor. They never forgot that the primary reason they were in business was to make a profit and not just entertain the patrons. They had a gimmick that transcended generations.
Matt's grandson, Bob Schulien, carries on this tradition of performing close-up at the Chicago Magic Lounge every Thursday and Saturday night. But in this week's podcast, Bob tells us a lot of great stories about his grandfather and its colorful history. He also talks about the history of the restaurant from the beginning until its demise. You can watch a promo video of the Chicago Magic Lounge, see some photos of Bob and his father and grandfather, read the blog, listen to the podcast online, and download the MP3 file at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scot......schulien If you have subscribed to The Magic Word Podcast, then you already know about this week's podcast.
