Parlour Magic
Parlour Magic® features Jeremy Hayward's amazing new live show, which showcases mind-reading, sleight of hand, and misdirection. The performance is presented in an entertaining manner that creates the illusion of real magic.
This intimate and interactive evening draws inspiration from great magicians of the past. It includes performances of magic from early Egyptian times to the golden era of the early 1900s, when legendary entertainers like Max Malini and Nate Leipzig captivated small audiences.
In the days before modern technology, the internet, and television, wealthy hosts of dinner and house parties would often provide their guests with exclusive entertainment. They invited fine performers and entertainers into their homes to perform in the parlor.
In today’s world, where people are constantly connected to the internet, this type of entertainment has become increasingly popular. It serves as a great way to disconnect from Wi-Fi and foster genuine connections among people.
