...at The Magic Cabaret in Chicago!

To celebrate the start of our second extended run at the historic Biograph Theater, P.T. Murphy and I will be getting into the spirit of the Halloween season!

Beginning on Tuesday, October 2, The Magic Cabaret will take a turn for the strange and supernatural. All October long, the legends and traditions of Halloween will be explored. Ghosts and spirits, fortune telling and mysterious omens -- all lead up to an eerie seance to contact the restless spirits that are said to haunt the area surrounding the Biograph Theater!

We'll be celebrating the mysteries of Halloween throughout the month of October, and you're invited to celebrate with us, Tuesdays at 8:00pm at The Magic Cabaret!

The Magic Cabaret continues its celebration of the Halloween season!

In the past, many of the games played at Halloween parties were fortune-telling or divination games. In keeping with this tradition, Jan Rose Orleans, Reader of the Tarot, is joining us at The Magic Cabaret throughout the month of October! Jan is a Chicago-based performer whose work includes a focus on mystery entertainment, and she is providing brief and fascinating readings of the cards to visitors before the show and during the intermission. Jan is a delightful person, and her readings are a fun and magical part of our Halloween festivities -- and they can be part of your Halloween festivities too!

More friends are joining us at The Magic Cabaret: On October 16, Charon Henning and Alexander Kensington, sword-swallowers extraordinaire, will be our special guest performers! Charon and her partner Alex have been entertaining audiences at Renaissance fairs and special events across the country, and their tour bus is passing through the Windy City just in time for the Halloween season! Charon Henning has been featured many times on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel and the History Channel, and this is your chance to see her and Alex in a live performance! Catch an act on the cutting edge, for one show only, on October 16!
