Champions of Magic

North America’s Biggest Illusion Show, Champions of Magic, Brings Spectacle to
Chicago for Extended Summer Engagement

The internationally acclaimed Champions Of Magic will bring their blockbuster illusion spectacular to Chicago for a limited engagement this summer, beginning June 6 at the intimate, beautifully restored Studebaker Theater (410 South Michigan Avenue). Described as “two hours of mind-twisting, logic defying entertainment,” by the London Review, Champions Of Magic features the production’s largest and most ambitious illusions ever, combining cutting-edge visual effects, high-energy performance and signature humor into an immersive theatrical experience for all ages.

Tickets are on sale now, starting at $69.50 per ticket, available at ChampionsOfMagicTour.com. With fans returning time and time again, Champions Of Magic continues to redefine the live illusion experience with all-original magic, never-before-seen feats and Broadway-scale special effects — resulting in a fast paced, highly interactive experience where breathtaking illusions unfold inches away from the audience.

While the world-class Champions Of Magic cast has appeared across every major television network and amassed millions of online views, the Chicago production is uniquely taking place in the intimate Studebaker theatre, seating just 600, allowing the scale, suspense, and astonishment to be experienced most intimately.

Champions Of Magic is recommended for ages 5 and up. The performance runs approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. More information about Champions Of Magic can be found on the website at ChampionsOfMagicTour.com and on Instagram at @ChampionsOfMagic

I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adve I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adventure! @Kalahariresortswisconsindells unveiled a collection of luxury Treehouses created in partnership with Pete Nelson of @NelsonTreehouse, widely known as the host of Animal Planet’s 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔. 

I attended an intimate media preview. Pete Nelson and Todd Nelson, founder of @Kalahariresorts, shared the inspiration, craftsmanship, and vision behind the Treehouses on our guided tour. The treehouses provide an elevated escape. They’re a nature-forward expansion celebrating the beauty of the Dells and the magic of living among the trees. Also onsite is a relaxing pool and hot tub.

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮!
