New York, NY (October 5, 2023) – The McKittrick Hotel (530 West 27th Street, NYC),
home of Sleep No More, announced the return of internationally acclaimed illusionist
Scott Silven’s At The Illusionist’s Table. Performances of the intimate experience,
where mystical mentalism intertwines with fine dining, have been extended through
October 25, 2023.
Scott Silven returns for a record fifth engagement of At The Illusionist’s Table. During
the performance, the enigmatic host and creator leads guests through an evening of
culinary delights and heartwarming storytelling, interwoven with mind-bending feats of
mentalism. Senses will appear to deceive as candles flicker, whisky pours, and
conversation stirs over a meal filled with unbelievable illusions.
“It is a great privilege to return once again to my home away from home at The
McKittrick Hotel. I’m delighted for New York audiences to join me for an extraordinary
evening this fall,” said Silven.
In between residencies at The McKittrick, he has toured the world, performing at iconic
venues from The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC to the Sydney Opera House in
Australia.
At The Illusionist’s Table debuted at the Edinburgh performing arts festival in 2017,
before making its New York premiere at The McKittrick Hotel later that year. After
completing two sold-out residencies, Silven returned for additional runs in late 2022 and
summer 2023.
