Family Comedy Magic Show comes to downtown Elgin Nov. 15

A magician opens a toolbox with a plan. The plan goes sideways, and suddenly the kids in the audience have ideas about what he should try next. That’s the setup for “Magic Makers,” an interactive family comedy magic show coming to Side Street Studio Arts in downtown Elgin on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Chicago magician Edd Fairman turns everyday objects into unlikely inventions and asks kids and grown-ups to help when his experiments go awry. Children can join in from their seats, so even kids who like to watch for a while can take part when they’re ready.

The show starts at 1 p.m. in the Side Street Studio Arts Backspace, 15 Ziegler Court, Elgin. It’s designed for ages 5 or older, and children must attend with an adult.

Tickets are $25 or $20 for age 12 or younger. Tickets are available through Side Street Studio Arts at sidestreetstudioarts.org.
