The all-star cast of magicians performed a limited engagement from November 25 until January 1. These magicians included The Clairvoyants, who were the runner-up winners of the NBC reality competition, America’s Got Talent that were best known for their mentalism abilities, as well as Dana Daniels (“The Charlatan”), Mark Kalin (“The Showman,” escapologist Jonathan Goodwin (“The Daredevil”) and Jinger Leigh, who is affectionately dubbed as “The Conjuress.” This iconic venue has a history behind it, especially since it housed the world’s most famous magicians in the beginning of the twentieth century, which included Harry Houdini himself.
