"MAGICAL NIGHTS," a total experience of sophisticated amazement
combining elegant dining, intimate close-up magic, and exquisitely
magical performances on stage.
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!
(A note on dress: jackets are encouraged for men but not required.)

dismantling everyday experience and tempting us to question: Why do
we choose to believe the unbelievable?

C) THE GRAND MASTER TRIBUTE (Nov. 17th) One Show ONLY!
On November 17th, 2009, join the magic community and the producers
of Monday Night Magic as we pay tribute to two New York Grand
Masters of Magic: Earl "Presto" Johnson and "Professor" Bobby
Baxter.
Tickets can be purchased at:
http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/88119
On January 26th, 1998, Monday Night Magic paid tribute to four
"Grand Masters of Magic": Frank Brents (veteran magician and world
traveler, and our partner since the inception of Monday Night
Magic); the late Jackie Flosso (son of Al Flosso and proprietor of
Flosso-Hornmann magic); the great comedy magician and manipulator
"Professor" Bobby Baxter: and another New York legend of comedy and
manipulative magic, Earl "Presto" Johnson. More than a decade
later, both Bobby Baxter and Presto (as he was known throughout the
magic scene), have now passed away in recent months. Professor
Bobby Baxter, 89, died in his sleep Sept. 1, 2009. Earl "Presto"
Johnson, of West Orange, New Jersey, died April 16, 2009.
Both of these great masters in the world of professional magic
influenced generations of magicians coming up in and around the New
York magic scene. Come join us for a celebratory tribute to their
life and work, as we present a very special show on Tuesday,
November 17th, at the Bleecker Street Theatre, Bleecker and
Lafayette Streets in the Noho neighborhood of Manhattan, and the
home of Monday Night Magic, New York's longest-running magic show.
Current Scheduled Performers will include:
* Torkova (Classical Award Winning Magic At Its Best!
* Puck (From Florida! - Incredible Magic & Comedy!)
* Chris Capehart (Globe Trotting Master Magician!)
.... plus many, many surprises!
All profits from the event will be used to create the "Presto and
Professor Baxter Scholarship Fund," to provide scholarships to send
minority and financially underprivileged children to the Tannen's
Magic Camp. Help celebrate and pay tribute to these two giant
talents, who gave so much back to their art - and help us give to
the future of magic in their name.

C) MICHAEL AMMAR LECTURE (Nov. 13th & 14th)
(Fantasma Magic - Lectures and Workshops)
WHERE: Fantasma Magic (entrance on 33rd Street)
421 7th Avenue - 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10001
WHEN: Friday 11/13/09 & Saturday 11/14/09
TIME: 7:00 PM
If you have never been to a Michael Ammar lecture, you're in for a
treat. For those who have seen him, take note that this is a Brand
New lecture. Michael's lecture is the most sought after ticket in
magic, so Fantasma asked him to perform it twice to give all of you
an opportunity to attend.
The Ammar Experience is a full scale multi-media lecture. According
to Michael this multi-media aspect allows Michael to give the
lecture he has always dreamed of giving! In this 2009 outing two
new tricks will be taught, as well as a look back on Michael's
unique handling of some classic effects.
Even though there are two lecture dates, it is for the same lecture
and the tickets will go very fast. Book your seat NOW!
Tickets are $30.00 General Admission, $40.00 day of event (if
available) $50.00 VIP (Must call the store for VIP)
