Vaudeville Magic

Vaudeville Magic is a one hour all ages family magic show.

Sean has been producing theatrical magic shows in Chicago performance spaces since 1992. VINTAGE MAGIC, an intoxicating close-up magic show, ran for 5 months in 2010 to rave reviews: "Sean Masterson and his eye-popping, mind-boggling parlor tricks." – The Chicago Reader.

In 2009 he premiered VAUDEVILLE MAGIC at the Morse Theatre, Chicago. His show MAGIC MATINEE ran for 5 weekends in both 2008 and 2006 at The Music Box Theatre. His intimate close-up magic shows, CONJURING TIME at the Live Bait Theatre and MAGIC TALES received enthusiastic reviews from the Chicago Tribune:

"Masterson leaves you in awe, wondering how he manages to do his tricks. But with the addition of the stories, he manages to unlock secret doors in the mind so that it is possible to revel, without questioning, in the mysteries of the unkown."

"He's a fine close-up magician, a warm performer, and it's hard to figure out how he does what he does." Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

In a 2006 full page profile in North Shore Magazine, Penelope Mesic called Sean "Chicago's most thought provoking wizard".
