Published: Fri, 01/16/09

Hi !

Welcome along to your MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC e-mail-o-rama!

These days it seems like all of our favorite things are closing
down. "Spamalot" closes this Sunday, "Young Frankenstein had it's
last performance on January 4th and the musical "Hairspray" has
come and gone.

One favorite that isn't closing down and, in fact continues to
grow, is Monday Night Magic. Yes, our weekly showing of the very
best of the best in magic and comedy is bigger and better than
ever! This week's show is, as ever, a total "must see" for all the
family as we present a special Martin Luther King, Jr. Day show
with all of our magi as front runners in the votes for audience
favorites at the Bleecker Street Theatre! This show will truly be
a show for young and old alike!

Read on to find out who will be appearing this week!

On stage you will see ...

* RJ Lewis (From AC To B'way, Magic & Comedy At It's Best!)
* Master Lee (Kung Fu Magic & Comedy)
* Rocco (Magic Master & Sleight-of-Hand Champion)

Our Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be ...

* Todd Robbins (The Coney Island Wonder Worker!)

In close-up you'll see sleight-of-hand miracles from ...

* Dave Condon (Great Young Sleight-Of-Handster!)
    * Peter Samelson (Beautiful, Poetic, Heartfelt Magic)
    * Jamy Ian Swiss (James Bond With A Deck Of Cards)

* All Performers Are Subject To Change

Well now you can see why our show continues to run! Forget seasons
- start thinking decades! To book a seat simply call
Telecharge.com (at 212-239-6200) and reserve your place! Do it
soon though; I'd hate for you to be disappointed -- this show is
sure to be a sell out!

From the producers of "Monday Night Magic," New York's
longest-running Off-Broadway magic show, comes "Magical Nights."

"MAGICAL NIGHTS," a total experience of sophisticated amazement
combining elegant dining, intimate close-up magic, and exquisitely
magical performances on stage.

Start the evening off with a world-class magician performing
sleight-of-hand "close-up" magic right at your table. Then be
treated to an hour of sophisticated magical entertainment on stage,
Park Avenue style. The classiest hotel in New York now presents the
classiest magicians in the world!

This show will feature a rotating cast of performers that includes
world-class magicians and mentalists - every "Magical Night" will
be an unforgettable experience from start to finish! Doors open at
5:30 PM, the close-up magic kicks off at 6:00 PM, and showtime on

the Loew's Regency is a distinct experience from start to finish -
featuring terrific food, the most attentive wait staff in town,
personalized close-up magic, and fabulous on-stage performances in
an intimate cabaret setting - all taking place in a supremely
sophisticated "only in New York" environment.

"Magical Nights" is a truly unique reflection of the very best that
New York City has to offer!
