A rare chance to learn directly from one of the last performers connected to the iconic and influential Chicago Bar Magic scene. Filmed at the famous Chicago Magic Lounge, “Learn Bar Magic with Bibik” is the ideal introduction to the exciting world of bar magic from one of Chicago’s premiere bar magicians.
At the turn of the 20th century, a quiet magic revolution was emerging in Chicago’s underground magic scene. “Bar Magic” as it became known, quickly spread in popularity to San Diego, Tokyo, London and beyond, giving rise to some of the most famous names in our industry along the way.
This unique hybrid of close-up magic and parlor magic combines quick wit and confident charm with amazing, casual magic that often implements found objects like limes and cocktail shakers. Innovative bar magicians even popularized ways to use the ceiling as a prop.
While the vibrant bar magic scene continues to thrive today, there are only a handful of magicians left with roots in the original Chicago Bar Magic scene. Even fewer of them still perform.
Watch and Learn From a True Pro
This is why we are honored for the chance to collaborate with Bibik, one of the last performing magicians connected to the original Chicago Magic Scene. We spent a weekend shadowing him as he astounded real people as the resident magician at the Chicago Magic Lounge before sitting down with us to discuss the keys to his lasting success as a bar magician.
In this gorgeously shot and edited download, Bibik performs and teaches the tricks he uses night after night to entertain tens of thousands of people. He shares his favorite routines, as well as material he’s never taught anywhere else like Nose-tradamus and Joker’s Everywhere. We particularly like his signature Lemon Pips routine, which is as baffling as it is hilarious.
Learn the Real Work
While the tricks are bonafide workers, the true value of this download comes from Bibik’s deep dive into the real work behind being a successful bar magician. No stone is left unturned as he teaches you everything from how to get a bar gig to picking the right material and even how to properly set up the bar. You’ll also learn how to draw a crowd and win them over, remember everyone’s names, get the staff on your side, handle rowdy customers and distractions, and everything else you’d need to prosper as a bar magician.
If you’ve ever wanted to get into bar magic, or become a better bar magician, then downloading “Learn Bar Magic With Bibik” is a no-brainer. It’s nearly 2.5 hours of invaluable material from a true pro offered at an unbeatable price.
