If you're in (or near) Chicago and somehow didn't attend the superb Magic Inc convention this weekend, you can still attend Richard Turner's stunning show on Sunday (TODAY) at 2:00 PM.

From the viewpoint of a fan of Ricky Jay's writings, an exquisite card mechanic who happens to be totally blind is exactly the sort of extraordinary performer that Jay has been writing about for the last several decades. This is an experience not to be missed.

The theater is intimate and there is truly not a bad seat in the house.

Go see it! THIS AFTERNOON!
