Sean Masterson’s Timeless Magic
Saturday, Nov. 29 | 2:00pm ET (1:00pm CT)
Sean Masterson’s Timeless Magic is a one-of-a-kind thrill. Sean effortlessly combines remarkable skill with highly original magic and a blend of magic and storytelling that have been part of the Chicago theater scene since his 1992 run at Shattered Globe Theater.
About the Artists:
Sean Masterson became interested in magic when he received a deck of magic cards for his 7th birthday. Five years later, at the age of 12, he won Chicago’s Junior Magician Award. He went on to study theater and French in college which explains his interest in combining magic with storytelling and his appearances in France. Sean’s passion for performing is equal to his fascination with magic history and its larger than life characters.
Sean has been entertaining Chicago audiences with his close-up and stage magic for 25 plus years. He performed at Governor Pritzker’s inaugural ball and recently the Chicago Tourism Bureau flew Sean to Paris to perform for French journalists.
