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.
Critics have raved about Champions Of Magic, praising “visual effects to rival any Broadway production” (DC Theater Arts), writing that the performance “dazzles audiences with a show like no other” (Broadway World), calling it a “spectacular family show… prepare to be astounded” (iHeart Radio), and “as good as magic gets” (CultureMap). The production has been featured on numerous national and international television shows, including “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” “Caught on Camera” (NBC) “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (CW) and “Good Morning Britain.”
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.
