Something Magical With David Parr's Cabinet of Curiosities

SEE EVENT DETAILS
See Something Magical this May with David Parr at The Historic Alcazar Theater! Don't miss the newest magician to join the unbelievable cast of Something Magical with the help of Rock N Roll Cabaret star, Kar Robichaud, of Misfit Cabaret!

See Something Magical as award-winning magician David Parr for a tour of his collection of magical curiosities. David has gathered his favorite artifacts and stories to share with you in this 75-minute show of mystery and magic. Every shelf of David Parr’s Cabinet of Curiosities offers an encounter with something weird and wonderful. An old deck of cards, a macabre toy from 18th-century France, a childhood book, a spool of silver thread. Each object has a unique story — some strange, some spooky, some amusing — but all come alive with magical possibilities in the hands.
With the help of Kat Robichaud and Brendan Getzel, of Misfit Cabaret, you will be whisked away into a magical realm where anything and everything is possible.
Magic fans will recognize David from his appearance on the hit TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us. There, his abilities were put to the ultimate test in front of the cameras, a live audience, millions of TV viewers, and two very savvy Las Vegas magicians. (Spoiler alert…) David fooled their faces off and not only took home the coveted Fool Us trophy but also won a guest spot in their live show at the Rio hotel in Las Vegas!
Before opening his Cabinet of Curiosities, David created and co-starred in Chicago’s longest-running weekly magic show, which was chosen by the Travel Channel as one of the top nine magic shows in the nation. When he’s not busy mystifying audiences at corporate events, he can be found performing sleight of hand at Hollywood’s prestigious Magic Castle or doing original shows such as Haunting History, an exploration of the shadowy territory where history meets myth and folklore, or Visions of Poe, an interactive journey into the tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
Which curiosities will be featured in tonight’s show? There’s only one way to find out: pick a numbered tag and that will lead to the next mysterious item on the shelf. It might be a macabre toy from 18th-century France. Or a golden goblet from a dinner party in Renaissance Italy. Or maybe a treasured book from David’s childhood. Some objects seem deceptively ordinary — an old deck of playing cards, perhaps, or a spool of silver thread. But in David Parr’s hands, they come alive with magical possibilities…
