🎭 TheaterReview The magic of romance: Meant to Be at the Chi_MagicLounge is a sly mind-blower. | ✍️ kerryreid ReaderRecommends
Early in the show, he asks us to guess his ethnic makeup. Though he doesn’t go into a lot of detail about how his parents met, the bit sets up more than Negash’s punch line about the folly of challenging him to a combination long-distance running and drinking competition. It plants the seeds for realizing that connections between people, particularly people in love, pop up in perhaps unexpected ways.
There isn’t a lot of flash to the show. Like most Chicago Magic Lounge performances, this one is about the—yes—connection to the audience and the art of close-up magic. At the performance I saw, a couple that first met at Illinois State University in the 70s and reconnected decades later found themselves center stage. Details of their relationship popped up in sealed props in ways seemingly impossible to explain . It’s a compelling and endearing slice of sleight-of-hand.
