“Chamber Magic” is unlike the large spectacles of Broadway. There are no billboards trumpeting the show, but every weekend it’s full. I attribute that to the show’s immersive nature - it’s 100 percent interactive. The goal is for people to leave saying, “It happened to me.”
I was inspired to launch “Chamber Magic,” because I loved practicing magic and couldn’t survive by performing at private parties alone. Instead, I created my own public showcase. I tailored the show to appeal to the rich and powerful, and soon found myself performing for them at their private islands, superyachts, and in places like Switzerland and Maui.
This film project came about when I met Nico Moreno, a young filmmaker, through our mutual friend, Sean Farkas. In the past I had filmed a lot of magic for a History Channel special. I found it tough to express the excitement of my live show on the small screen. Nico assured me he could capture the essence of my show by focusing on the people, and the gorgeous performing environment. I think he and Sean succeeded: look closely at the audience reactions - you can’t train actors to react like that! What you see in their faces is the joy of being genuinely baffled. They know that what they’re seeing can’t be happening, yet it is. What a beautiful paradox.
