PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Halloween may be over, but there\u2019s magic and mystery all month long at the Kimmel Center. <\/p>\n
In a dark room set up with tables all around and a stage at the front, audiences are ushered in to a memorial for the late, great magician Dieter Roterburg. <\/p>\n
Throughout the night, magicians perform close-up magic at every table, before Dieter gives guests one last surprise from the grave. <\/p>\n
Francis Menotti and his wife, Lindsey Noel, are two of the local magicians brought in while the touring show is in Philadelphia. They create their own characters and perform their own tricks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was left to us,\u201d Noel said, \u201cand I kind of love that as someone who combines theatrics with their performance and magic.\u201d<\/p>\n
They travel all over performing as a couple, but Menotti said it\u2019s nice to do a show at home and be part of an ensemble.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me personally, it\u2019s like, oh, I don\u2019t get to usually work with our friends that are even local.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not all the performers get to all the tables, so if you come again, you’ll see different performers doing different magic.<\/p>\n
The production originated in London, and now it travels from city to city in the U.S. The Magicians Table is at the Kimmel Center\u2019s SEI Innovation Studio through Nov. 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Halloween may be over, but there\u2019s magic and mystery all month long at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[37862,23389,77606,7027,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-323319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-ensemble-arts-philly","tag-kimmel-center-for-the-performing-arts","tag-live-theater","tag-magic","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
