The Magic Cabaret

The Magic Cabaret regularly features special guest performers whose work evokes mystery and wonder. For example, sword-swallowers extraordinaire Charon Henning and Alexander Kensington were recent guest performers at The Magic Cabaret. Their home base is in the Washington D.C. area, but they’ve been crisscrossing the midwest, entertaining audiences at Rennaissance fairs and special events, and they were passing through the Windy City just in time for the Halloween season!

The upper photo shows Charon in the process of swallowing two swords simultaneously! The lower photo shows Alexander just moments before swallowing a neon electrical tube!

Charon and Alex were a big hit, they had a great time in Chicago and, when their busy touring schedule permits, they will make an effort to drop by The Magic Cabaret in the future!

Charon and Alex are among the ever-growing list of special guest performers at The Magic Cabaret. For up-to-the-minute information about upcoming guest performers, join the Magic Cabaret E-mail List by sending a message to info@magic-cabaret.com

A thoughtful magician who recently visited The Magic Cabaret provided P.T. and David with a copy of this great article from Irv Kupcinet’s “Kup’s Column” in the Chicago Sun-Times. Dating to the early 1960s, the article is about Chicago’s prominent mystery entertainers, some of whom are mentioned and paid tribute to in The Magic Cabaret! Enjoy this glimpse into the Windy City’s magical past!
