Next Show: Monday, June 15Guest Performers: William Pack and BJ Kirshenbaum
WILLIAM PACK discovered his passion at 11 years old, when he landed a job in a magic shop. He is an award-winning comedy magician performing nearly everywhere — from close-up magic at the legendary Schulien’s restaurant to headlining at the Chicago Magic Lounge. In 2001, Hollywood called upon his expertise, when he taught actor Will Smith sleight of hand for his role as Muhammad Ali in the film Ali.
BJ KIRSHENBAUM has had a lot of hobbies. Every kid needs a one. For BJ it was between soap carving, beetle fighting, extreme ironing and magic. While it was a tight race, magic won! Like many magicians he sharpened his skills performing close-up magic in restaurants multiple nights a week. Soon he went on to entertain casino, corporate and private event audiences.
Having turned his hobby into a career, he needed a new hobby. Tree shaping caught his interest and duck herding was also atop the list but as he loves to cook and used to frequently go to Pizzeria Due with a fellow performer after gigs, he decided deep dish pizza making was the winner! In 2014 he had an "a ha!” moment and created the ultimate in-home comedy magic dinner show for pizza lovers he calls Magic By The Slice! Catch our show on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 PM
