  Located smack in the middle of the Boystown neighborhood of Chicago, Trickery Chicago was an awesome off-the-beaten-path find! This show is NOT for kids! We went with another couple, we were easily the oldest in attendance. The crowd was predominantly 20-somethings, maybe early 30's, which was fine. It made the atmosphere fun! The venue itself is easily missed, just one door located amongst larger establishments. But once inside the ambiance and decor create a mystical, magical feel. Take lots of selfies and photos inside! There are maybe 25-30 seats total in the small theater, so if you're thinking of going on a weekend, make a commitment! Our magician was entertaining and cheeky, lots of "inside jokes". While the magic isn't David Copperfield level, it's also much better than expected and the close proximity to the stage (there are no bad seats) makes it even better. The experience is very audience interactive, which made it great! Unknown to us, you can bring your own alcohol in. The aforementioned 20-somethings must have been in the know, as there were cases of White Claw, Beer and a gallon of Vokda being passed around. Apparently this is encouraged, which is 180 degrees opposite of what you'll mostly find for magic or comedy shows in Chicago, a number of which have a 2 drink minimum. PRO TIP: Eat at Wood restaurant just a couple of blocks south, then walk to the show.

  I first watched the show in 2018 and came back in 2021 to watch it again, and Aaron still put on an awesome show with some new material in addition to all the great original material. In Trickery's small venue, you can see all the tricks/miracles up close, which makes them that much more impressive and amazing. Aaron gave a wonderful performance with lots of personality. Very entertaining and highly recommended!

  I don’t leave reviews often, but wanted to make sure that Chicagoans as well as visitors go to see a magic show at Trickery. After a Sunday lunch celebration of my sister’s and brother-in-law’s anniversary, we headed to Trickery Chicago, not really knowing what to expect. We had a blast!!!! The magic tricks were amazing, but the accompanying jokes made the show even more entertaining. We loved Aaron’s passionate and comical performance in the intimate setting. It was funny and charming and soooo worth seeing. Highly recommend… and we’ll be back for more.

  I've been to this show 3 times and will go again! The magician (Aaron) will keep you guessing, and then he'll amaze you even more. The balloon trick was my favorite (or is it even a trick?!) He gets the audience involved, which is fun. A great place for a date or to go with friends. Aaaaaaand it's BYOB!

  Wonderful show in an intimate, comfortable atmosphere. The magic and illusions are top notch, but Aaron (and his “assistant” Hoppy) are the real stars. His charming, down-to-earth demeanor and sense of humor make the show better than the average magic show. You’ll leave wondering how he did some of the things he was able to do. While the humor is teenage+ in nature, it’s very location appropriate for being in Boystown. BYOB was great and glasses/wine keys were available to use. Snacks/candy were also available for $2 or less. Hands down we would go again if ever in the area.

  Aaron is amazing! Funny, talented, and the hardest working guy ever. The magic is great. The theatre itself is so creative. The show was delightful.

  It was a very light and entertaining show. Comedy mixed with magic. Intimate setting. The 1 hour time allows you to pack other activities. I would highly recommend it.
