Master Magician And Mentalist Dennis Watkins Performs One-Night Show Celebrating National Magic Week
EntSun News/10752277
Third-generation magician Dennis Watkins conjures playful spirits from the beyond during his original adaptation of The Spirit Cabinet and more during an exclusive performance, "Dennis Watkins' Magic, Mysteries, and Spirits" on October 26.
CHICAGO - Oct. 2, 2018 - EntSun -- Chicago's top magician and mentalist, Dennis Watkins, will perform his original adaptation of magic's most intriguing spiritual mystery, The Spirit Cabinet, and more in a one-night-only event at The Palmer House on Friday, October 26 to celebrate National Magic Week. The annual holiday was founded in honor of the late, great American magician Harry Houdini, who Watkins has portrayed on numerous occasions. With help from the beyond, Watkins promises to look into the minds of his audience to see what they see during his exclusive performance of Dennis Watkins' Magic, Mysteries, and Spirits, produced by The House Theatre of Chicago.
"We know that human beings are mysterious creatures who communicate in mysterious ways," says Watkins who has performed nearly 1,000 shows in his weekly production, The Magic Parlour. "While we all understand that human beings cannot teleport or fly, we secretly hope that it might be possible to be psychic," he adds.
As a lifelong magician, Watkins recalls watching the legendary Frances Willard and Glen Falkenstein perform the Spirit Cabinet as it had been passed to Frances by her father, the legendary Willard the Wizard. On this very special night, Watkins will perform his version of this spiritualist spectacular and harness the collective mental energy of everyone in the room.
