Each Sunday afternoon at Chicago Magic Lounge, a feat of pure impossibility is deftly performed: keeping a bunch of fidgety kids entertained for a full hour. The genre of children’s magic shows sometimes suffers from a corny reputation, but this long-standing residency in Andersonville is anything but. There’s a science to holding children’s attention rapt, and the professionals here do so with colorful props, family-friendly one-liners, cute animal appearances, and genuinely amazing tricks. While the rotating cast is consistently great, look for when Danny Orleans, the dean of children’s magicians, is headlining. 5050 N. Clark St. chicagomagiclounge.com
