The Longest Running Magic Show on Long Island
The Parlor of Mystery is a place where the magic happens close up and right in front of you. Each show is a different parlor magic show with a new line-up of magicians from near and far. At the Parlor, you’ll see experienced prestidigitators as well as young, up-and-coming conjurers. It’s modern. It’s funny. It’s grown-up. And, it’s for grown-up audiences.
Many people consider the term “parlor” to be old-fashioned and think parlor magic is magic performed long ago by gentlemen in top hats and long coats in the living rooms of the privileged. And at one time it was exactly that. But today it means magic that is intimate, that doesn’t require expensive, large-scale stage equipment, and is performed close to the audience and without a stage.
The Parlor of Mystery is just that, a place where the magic is performed right in front of you. It’s modern. It’s funny. It’s grown-up. And it’s for grown-up audiences.
The Parlor of Mystery is a monthly magic show that is different every month. Every show features a new line-up of magicians from near and far. The goal of the Parlor is to showcase the talents of some of the region’s best magicians as well as introduce visiting magicians to the Long Island community. Expect to see accomplished prestidigitators as well as up-and-coming conjurers.
