Hi !
Welcome along to your ever-friendly and informative little buddy -
the MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC e-newsletter!
Every Monday come rain or shine (hopefully a lot more shine than
rain going forward!) we are committed (and some say that we should
be!) to bringing some of the very best magical talent in the world
to grace our stage, simply for your entertainment pleasure! We
slave over our choices with nothing more than a cold cup of coffee
and a slice of bread, lightly toasted on one side, to keep us going
-- but, when we see the happy faces and we hear the laughs and
applause from our audiences, all that hard work is well worthwhile!
This week's show, as ever, promises something for everybody! The
whole family will have an absolute blast as they gasp in amazement
and roar with laughter at the Bleecker Street Theatre, home to
NYC's longest ever running Off-Broadway magic show!
On stage you'll see ...
* Aye Jaye (Everybody's Friend In Magic!)
* Chris Capehart (The Finest All Around Magician You Will See)
* Mike Caveney (It Isn't Just A Trick, It's A Miracle!)
Our Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be ...
* Todd Robbins (The King of Coney Island Capers!)
In close-up you'll see masterful miracles from ...
* David Condon (Bright Young Star of Magical Marvels!)
* Peter Kougasian (Always Witty, Charming and Mystifying)
* Andy Roberts (Mr. Bojangles of Magic)
* All Performers Are Subject To Change
There you have it ... yet another show that you'd be crazy to miss
(and even if you are crazy, you should still want to come along!).
Ordering tickets is as simple as calling Telecharge.com (at
212-239-6200) and reserving your seats for a show that will knock
your socks off (so you may want to bring a spare pair with you!).
(As you know, Telecharge.com is open 7 days a week, and the best
time to reach them is between 8:00 AM and 12 Midnight.)

A note to our patrons: "Magical Nights" at Feinstein's will be very
different from "Monday Night Magic." An evening at Feinstein's at
Loews 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!
