“The Magicians Table,” an immersive magic show featuring close-up illusions, comedy, live music and handcrafted cocktails, will make its Philadelphia premiere at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts from Oct. 21 through Nov. 22.<\/p>\n
Audience members sit just steps from the action as magicians perform sleight-of-hand, illusions and interactive tricks throughout the two-hour production. Live music and storytelling are woven into the experience, creating an evening that blends theater with close-up magic.<\/p>\n
The experience begins in a cocktail lounge, where magicians perform spontaneous illusions before guests enter the Kimmel Center’s SEI Innovation Studio. Inside, table-side magic and theatrical performances blur the line between audience and stage.<\/p>\n
The story centers on a gathering honoring the life of fictional magician Dieter Roterburg. As the evening unfolds, letters he left behind reveal one final mystery, combining close-up magic with comedy and immersive storytelling.<\/p>\n
Most performances are designed for guests 18 and older, though select 1 p.m. Saturday matinees are open to audiences 14 and older.<\/p>\n
Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 7, at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n
