Mystifyed Live! Episode 15-- David Parr

Season 3: Episode 15

Magician, Actor and Author, David Parr, is more than just a performer. He is also the creator of the Magic Cabaret in Chicago, Illinois. He has also written two highly acclaimed books for magicians, lectured at magic conventions around the country and still finds time to explore other theatrical projects.When he is not performing you can find him around the city giving Haunted History tours, and providing people with an inside look at Edgar Allan Poe with his own interactive show, Visions of Poe. His love of history and how it blends with magic drives him to create a truly incredible theatrical experience.

David Parr performs his signature brand of magic.

Chicago has such a deep-rooted history with magic that most people are not very connected to it. When David started The Magic Cabaret six years ago, it was his goal to bring back the classic Chicago-style of magic and allow a new generation of audience to see it. He wanted to develop a show that was strongly influenced by the intimacy and participatory nature of those parlor shows that helped define the art within the city. The show now runs every Wednesday night at the Greenhouse Theater Center and features some of the best magic in the area.

In what ended up being a very strong experience for both the audience and our guest, we heard of how human emotion can contribute to an act and make it's own magic. After performing a seance piece at a party, members of the audience were so affected by what happened, that each person had a different account of what took place that evening. It was just his job to create the atmosphere and give the guests something to remember the party by; but what ended up happening was something he nor the party-goers will ever forget.

It was great having David on the show with us this week. His love of history and magic has provided us with a rich look into the mind of a truly artistic entertainer.
