MAGIC & MERLOT WITH EUGENE BURGER

From the Chicago Tribune, we learn of an upcoming event featuring Eugene Burger, "Magic & Merlot" an evening of magic to benefit two area causes. From the Tribune article:

With his distinctive flowing white beard and round rimmed spectacles, Eugene Burger could be mistaken for Santa Claus. But don’t let looks fool you.

Burger – who has been called “Chicago’s Best Magician” by Chicago Magazine, “one of the most respected names in close-up magic today” by the Chicago Tribune, and “one of the most influential magicians of the 20th century” by Magic Magazine – is no Santa. He is, however, one of the finest magicians in the business.

Burger’s amazing magic skills will be on display during a special performance on Thursday, November 18, when the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation presents “Magic & Merlot: An Evening with Eugene Burger”.

For anyone that missed it the first time around, here is the documentary on Eugene from Culture Unplugged:
