The House of Magic in Glenside, Pennsylvania continues to solidify its reputation as one of the most unique destinations for live magic in the region, with a packed schedule of performances and special events in the weeks ahead.
This week alone, the venue is presenting five shows, including its first-ever Sunday afternoon performance. Audiences will have the opportunity to experience two shows by the marvelous Francis Menotti. The first takes place Sunday, March 15 at 1:00 PM, followed by a second performance on Wednesday, April 1 (April Fools’ Day) at 1:00 PM, a date that conveniently coincides with school closures in Philadelphia and Montgomery County.
Organizers at the House of Magic note that additional shows are expected to be added throughout the year as demand continues to grow.
Harrison Greenbaum Returns — With an Added Show
Laughter will be front and center when Harrison Greenbaum, widely regarded as one of the funniest magicians performing today, returns on February 27 and 28. Due to overwhelming demand and multiple sellouts, an additional 6:00 PM show has been added.
This special engagement is 18+ only, and audiences are promised an unforgettable night of sharp comedy, brilliant magic, and nonstop laughs — the kind of performance that regularly earns Greenbaum standing ovations.
An Intimate Close-Up Magic First at the Fred Kaps Theater
On March 18 at 8:00 PM, the House of Magic will debut a brand-new close-up magic experience in its 26-seat Fred Kaps Close-Up Theater, marking the first performance ever presented in this intimate space.
The featured performer for this inaugural event is Eric DeCamps, handpicked for the occasion. DeCamps holds a rare distinction: he is one of only two close-up magicians in the last 100 years to receive the Gold Medal from the Society of American Magicians, a testament to his mastery of the art.
The evening begins at 7:00 PM in the Jay Marshall Lounge, where guests are invited to bring their own beverage while enjoying complimentary cheese and crackers. Small groups will then be led on guided tours of Marc’s Magic Museum, a private collection housed within the venue that features remarkable artifacts and memorabilia from magic’s rich history. The night concludes in the Fred Kaps Theater with DeCamps’ close-up show, Just Between Us, designed to be experienced only inches away from the magic.
