Sean Masterson's Timeless Magic

Sean Masterson’s Timeless Magic is a one-of-a-kind thrill featuring sleight-of-hand, audience participation, and highly deceptive but rarely-seen 19th Century magic effects that are sure to delight young and old. Join us for an evening of eye-popping illusions by Chicago's greatest magician.

A Chicago mainstay, Sean Masterson has been entertaining audiences with his close-up and stage magic for more than 25 years. He was recently flown to Paris by Chicago's Tourism Bureau to perform for French journalists and was invited to perform at Governor J.B. Pritzker’s inaugural ball. Sean became interested in magic when he received a deck of magic cards for his 7th birthday. Five years later, at the age of 12, he won Chicago’s Junior Magician Award. He went on to study theater and French in college, which explains his interest in the intermingling of magic and storytelling, as well as his appearances in France. Sean’s passion for performing is equal to his fascination with magic history and its larger-than-life characters. The Chicago Tribune writes that Masterson offers "prestidigitation for the Harry Potter generation, with a minimum of flash and a maximum of understated showmanship" and has called his sleight-of-hand tricks, "spellbinding and highly entertaining."
