Chamber Magic

Steve Cohen's Chamber Magic is inspired by the old-fashioned tradition of parlor magic, in which a select group of peers would gather to watch illusions in an intimate setting. Cohen recreates this atmosphere at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel, doing everything from performing card tricks to making drinks appear out of thin air for an audience of up to 64 people only. Dressing up is encouraged!
