Eric DeCamps Pure Magic: Close-Up Sleight at Smoke & Mirrors Theater in Glenside

On a crisp evening in Glenside, Pennsylvania, the Smoke & Mirrors Theater at The House of Magic -101 S. Easton Road becomes an exacting stage for attention. Eric DeCamps Pure Magic is a two-night stand (September 25th & 26th, 2026) that brings modern close-up sleight-of-hand into a custom-built room where nothing is lost in translation. In a compact 1.5-hour set, Eric—awarded the Society of American Magicians’ Gold Medal of Excellence in 1995—delivers card work, coin routines and comedic timing that land as both clever and disarming.

The theater’s shallow stage, low light and tight seating make proximity part of the show: volunteers sit inches from the action and finger work reads like print under a magnifying glass. That intimacy is deliberate. Eric’s solo shows evolved through sold-out runs at The Three West Club’s Lincoln Room in Rockefeller Center and Manhattan’s Metropolitan Room, guided by directors Steve Ciuffo and Bob Fitch; that pedigree shapes the pacing and theatrical beats you’ll witness tonight. This is not pyrotechnics—this is mastery of angle, timing and misdirection.

Why this matters to visitors: Glenside offers parks and neighborhood walks, but few local nights give you technique over spectacle. For travelers who value craft, witnessing a modern master in a venue designed for close-up magic is a rare evening experience. Practical notes: arrive early to secure a good sight line, expect interactivity and conversational patter, and plan for roughly 1.5 hours of performance recommended for ages 16 and up.

Bring a small camera for lobby portraits but be prepared for a no-flash policy during the show. Tickets are limited and tend to move fast—advance purchase is the practical play. Arrive at Smoke & Mirrors Theater @ The House of Magic -101 S. Easton Road Glenside PA 19038 to soak in pre-show banter and claim your seat. Whether you’re a local or passing through, the combination of award-winning sleight-of-hand and a theater built to reveal technique makes Eric DeCamps Pure Magic a standout cultural night in Glenside.

Expect an interactive, conversational pace: Eric trades patter with volunteers, reads tabletop angles like a practiced surgeon and leaves room for surprise—audiences laugh one moment and hold their breath the next. Cell phones off, but bring a small notebook if you’re hungry for technique; magicians will study details you won't see on video. The venue is compact and accessible via local transit and rides from Glenside accommodations, making it an easy evening after nearby parks or restaurants.
