-Chicago Tribune
“Not many events can sustain an eight-year run in the Windy City, making us increasingly curious about The Magic Parlour starring Dennis Watkins. Could it possibly live up to the hype? The answer is a resounding YES…The Magic Parlour is a truly baffling and exciting experience from start to finish.”
-The Hawk Chicago
“I've seen magic shows in New York, California, and Las Vegas. This is by FAR the coolest experience of them all. Dennis not only performs astounding magic, but he connects with his audience through humor & great storytelling. By the end, you don't feel like you've seen a magician...You feel like you've made a friend (and the encore is utterly mind-blowing!). Highly recommended!”

Such a small, intimate space. He wants to make sure you don't miss a second of any trick. Dennis Watkins is truly a magician and showman!
