The CHICAGO smash hit The ROSENKRANZ MYSTERIES: PHYSICIAN MAGICIAN HAS
BEEN EXTENDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND THROUGH MAY 27TH AT THE ROYAL
GEORGE THEATRE CABARET, 1641 N Halsted Street in CHICAGO. Lauded by
the legendary MAGICIAN TELLER OF PENN & Teller as “a cozy evening
with your jovial doctor – who just happens to command some of the
rarest and most beautiful illusions in the world,” the production
has also been touted by the CHICAGO Tribune as an “immensely
likable, intelligent and very intimate show,” and the Windy City
Times proclaimed that it delivers “legendary illusions and vivacious
visual display”.
The award-winning Rosenkranz presents truly astounding illusions that
captivate audiences in an intimate, cabaret style setting. The
Rosenkranz Mysteries: Physician Magician highlights what the Chicago
Tribune calls Rosenkranz’ “healing power of magic,” with
signature pieces and performances brought to the stage to showcase
magic that cannot be seen anywhere else. Teller added that the
production is an “elegant soiree, a fireside chat entwined with
brain-busting mysteries, conjured by a physician/magician, who sees
the world through the double lens of medicine and magic.”
The Chicago Sun-Times rated the show 3 ½ stars out of 4, and noted
that the production “delivers wonder and laughter in abundance,”
and Around the Town Chicago declared “worth putting on your ‘must
see’ list!”
Every “deliciously mysterious” illusion, as described by
Chicagoland Theater Reviews, has been meticulously researched,
created, and staged by Dr. Rosenkranz along with the nation’s most
elite and respected magicians including the late Eugene Burger
(Director of Magic) whose credits include The Art of Magic on PBS and
Mysteries of Magic on The Learning Channel; Jeff McBridge (Chief Magic
Consultant) whose credits include being designated as Grand Prix of
Magic winner in Monte Carlo; legendary magician Johnny Thompson (Magic
Consultant) whose credits include Executive Director, Penn &
Teller’s Fool Us; and Chicago’s premier Mentalist Ross Johnson
(Magic Consultant); Jan Rose and Jordan Wright (Magic Team).
Following his sold-out run in Chicago during the winter of 2016, and
prior to returning this Spring, Dr. Ricardo Rosenkranz performed for
Penn & Teller’s fool us in Las Vegas, and also completed a very
successful run at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. In
addition, Dr. Rosenkranz headlined at the Prestigious Magic Circle in
London and was honored by The Magic Circle by being named Associate of
the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star. Rosenkranz is an
award-winning and respected faculty member at the Northwestern
University Feinberg School of Medicine. He has been fascinated by
magic since a young age and has long been incorporating his illusions
into his teaching as a way to help engage students and encourage
participation. After winning several teaching awards and traveling the
country to deliver seminars, Rosenkranz decided to bring his act to
the stage in Chicago.
The Rosenkranz Mysteries: Physician Magician stars Dr. Ricardo
Rosenkranz as “The Physician Magician”, Jan Rose as “The
Hostess” and Balsamo as himself. The show is directed by
Northwestern graduate Jessica Fisch (Fefu and Her Friends at the
