Dennis Watkins
Dennis Watkins has been performing his one-man show “The Magic Parlor” in downtown Chicago’s Palmer House Hilton Hotel for over five years. He is a third-generation magician and mentalist who offers three versions of his show which are, the classic show, the mind-reading show, and the close-up magic and mind-reading show.
Dennis Watkins has presented over 200 annual performances and uses a bare stage without props to tools for the mind-reading show and focuses on what his audience members feel, think and say in a bid to make the show adaptable for any situation.
The close-up magic and mind-reading show gives Watkins the room to use borrowed objects from his audience to deliver a versatile and entertaining evening of magic. The House Theater of Chicago produces the show in a private suite in a bid to deliver an evening of mind-reading and classic magic for audiences as small as 25 people or as large as 2,500.
