Unveiling Wonder: Andi Gladwin’s “SHUFFLED” delivers an unforgettable night of magic at The Rhapsody Theater in Chicago

Andi Gladwin’s new intimate magic show unveils a mesmerizing fusion of storytelling, technology, and your very own deck of cards! An electrifying evening of magic awaits you for this brand-new show, developed exclusively for performances at The Rhapsody Theater.

In a time of uncertainty, where the world often feels like a deck of cards being shuffled, magic has the remarkable ability to bring strangers together and infuse a sense of wonder into our lives.

Nestled in Roger’s Park, the Rhapsody Theater, 1328 W Morse Ave, Chicago, is host to the extraordinary and enchanting magic show, “Shuffled,” presented by the versatile British comedian and magician, Andi Gladwin.

Gladwin’s show is more than just a performance; it’s an immersive experience that combines elegant storytelling, clever comedy, and a unique form of interaction, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Upon purchasing a ticket to the show,, Gladwin revealed his only request: bring a deck of cards, any kind. 

Throughout the mesmerizing 70-minute performance, Gladwin weaved through the intimate venue, engaging nearly every member of the audience in mind-blowing magic tricks using their very own decks of cards.

Gladwin showcased an array of decks brought by the crowd. From a vintage 60-year-old deck to a cutting-edge 3D-printed set, a miniaturized version, and even a deck straight from a casino, each unique deck added a touch of magic to the mesmerizing performance.

The air was filled with gasps of amazement and eruptions of laughter as Gladwin seamlessly blended rehearsed magic tricks with spontaneous tricks that he had never performed before. Most of these tricks featured techniques entirely original to Gladwin. The result? A show that not only held attention but left the audience in sheer shock and awe.

Attending the show with two friends from college, we found ourselves stunned by every trick. As the night progressed, the illusions became increasingly jaw-dropping, prompting the question, “How the heck did he do that?” One standout moment involved Gladwin dialing a random phone number, having that stranger answer the phone and pick a card, only for that card to end up in a sealed box. The incredibility of such feats left us genuinely pondering the secrets behind the magic. 

Andi Gladwin is no stranger to bringing strangers closer together through his art. Having worked alongside multiple magicians, I can confidently say that “Shuffled” is one of the best close-up magic shows I have ever witnessed. The surprises and shocks unfolded throughout the night, leaving the audience in a state of delightful disbelief.

Gladwin’s mastery is not only evident in his ability to captivate an audience but also in the personalized touch he brings to each performance. His request for audience members to bring their own decks of cards turns the show into a collective experience, where the magic is not just witnessed but actively participated in. Regardless of where you sit in the theater, you can be sure that you will play a role in the magic. If you are more shy, the front row may not be best for you as the first two rows were engaged the most. 

And who is Andi Gladwin? He is a British magician who has dedicated his life to the art, performing at prestigious events worldwide such as President Obama’s Inauguration in Washington, DC, and on the world’s most expensive private yacht. He was a recent winner of ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’ where he competed to literally fool both Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller. Gladwin is also a regular on British ITV’s ‘Next Great Magician’ and CW Channel’s ‘Masters of Illusion.’ 

As the show concludes, the audience is left with stories that will be retold for years to come. Andi Gladwin’s intimate magic show, developed exclusively for performances at The Rhapsody Theater, unveils a mesmerizing fusion of storytelling, technology, and your very own deck of cards.

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the magic of “SHUFFLED” at The Rhapsody Theater – a night that promises to leave you spellbound and questioning the limits of reality.
