Lake County magic, close to home

Waukegan is under an hour from Eric, so Lake County events are easy to schedule, even on a weeknight. Companies here host holiday parties and appreciation events for big, mixed teams.

Close-up magic during cocktails, a show after dinner, or both.

What planners book

  • Holiday parties. Close-up magic during cocktails, then a show the whole room shares.
  • Client and employee appreciation events. Magic in their hands, a few guests at a time.
  • Galas and fundraisers. Mingling magic and a big finish for donors and sponsors.
