IT’s more fun when you know how it’s done

By day, Mister Danny is Mister Rudnick, an advanced high school chemistry teacher. By night (and weekends and summer break), he practices his lifelong passion as an award-winning professional magician.

In Magic In Session, Mister Danny fuses his two professional personas into one, presenting awe-inspiring magic that he has perfected over years of practice and study in a way only a science teacher can. While most magicians go to great lengths to conceal the secrets of magic, Mister Danny believes that the secret is the best part! In this unique and highly interactive show, you will learn that it really is more fun when you know how it's done.

The evening begins with close-up magic performed right at your cabaret table by our talented house magicians. In between visits, you have time to socialize, order from our friendly waitstaff, and enjoy the ambiance of the Harry Blackstone Cabaret Theater™.
