Recently, I finally managed to see Steve Cohen’s long-running show, Chamber Magic, in an elegant suite (see picture below) at the legendary Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City.
Steve is a consummate pro, his show is charmingly traditional, yet fast-paced, interactive, very entertaining and highly deceptive, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
From a magician’s perspective, I find three aspects of his program particularly worth mentioning:
- He opened and closed with card magic.
- He presented both his signature pieces, Brick from Hat and Any Drink Called For, rather early in the show.
- He did a lot of mentalism (and I mean a lot).
