Ages 6+ Magic Show for Whole Family!
Cosmic Underground is a performance collective that produces live magic shows, workshops, and open-mic nights.
Founded by Kayla Drescher and Harrison Lampert, the organization presents The Cosmic Underground Show, a 90-minute production of mind-bending magic with retro-futuristic flair staged in the hidden Cosmic Underground Theater in Chicago. The roster includes family-friendly programming such as the Family Magic Show at Cosmic Underground, which blends illusions, audience participation, and playful explorations of triangles for all ages.
Educational and community-focused events are integral to the lineup. Training Grounds serves as an open mic night where aspiring magicians and seasoned performers test new material in a supportive environment; proceeds help fund scholarships for The Magic Institute. Hands-on workshops expand practical skills: Intro to Balloon Twisting is a one-night event led by Jonah Faigel, described as Boston's top balloon twister, teaching essential techniques and multi-balloon pieces for participants of varying ages and abilities.
Cosmic Underground also programs experimental and variety offerings like Magic and Cereal Mascots, showcasing creative approaches to performance. Programming emphasizes live engagement, audience participation, and opportunities for emerging artists to present work.
The Family Magic Show promises memorable photo opportunities and laughter during performances, engaging children and adults alike. Jonah Faigel leads balloon workshops as a seasoned expert known for impressive creations. Performances aim to be exhilarating, entertaining, and memorable.
