The art of dining. The art of deception.

A seated four-course dinner with wine, and two magicians working the room between the courses.

Here is how the night runs. You sit down, you order a drink, and before the first course arrives both magicians are already on the floor doing close-up work, two to five people at a time. They each take half the room. Partway through the night they switch sides, so every table gets both of them. Twice during dinner one of them takes the stage for ten minutes while you eat. After dessert they come back out together for a finale neither one performs alone.

Then there is applause, and photographs, and nobody leaves for a while.

Seating at 7:00 PM.
141 Main Street, Beacon, New York.

Savage Wonder is a veteran-led arts center in Beacon, New York. A gallery, a theater, a wine and dessert bar, and a Friday night that got away from us in the best possible direction.
