Grab a glass of wine, settle in and reconnect with your sense of childlike wonder as miracles unfold inches in front of your eyes, and even in your own hands. This is an intimate, sophisticated night out designed for a grown-up audience (guests 12 and older will be admitted). So, don your fancy duds for a night on the town.

This was an amazing date night. Dennis is fantastic and the intimate setting was perfect. He interacted with every member of the audience. His magic is unbelievable and he is very quick and witty too. If I could give 6 stars I would!!! We will go again with family!!!! Next time we see Dennis, we will enjoy dinner at the gorgeous Palmer House and then go to the show.
