Chamber Magic®, Steve Cohen’s dazzling live show, performed weekly in an elegant salon in the Lotte New York Palace hotel, features conjuring, mind-reading, sleight of hand, and an astonishing trick called Think-A-Drink.

Guests are invited into an elegant salon in the legendary Lotte New York Palace, dressed to impress in cocktail attire. The adults-only audience for each performance is limited to 64 people, guaranteeing each guest an intimate view of every mystifying maneuver.

Come see why Steve Cohen’s Chamber Magic® has confounded the likes of Warren Buffett, Stephen Sondheim, the Queen of Morocco, and Woody Allen, who called the show “a religious experience.” Now, discover NYC’s most magical night for yourself!
