My boyfriend took me here as a birthday surprise because he knows I love magic. Neil's show was so much more! I can't get over the paranormal elements. I was chosen to participate in the final demonstration and it was absolutely amazing. I can't stop thinking about it. Inspired, entertaining, and mind blowing!

During our anniversary trip to Chicago, my husband and I checked out Supernatural Chicago. I found out about Supernatural Chicago through tripadvisor and was intrigued by the show's description. My husband and I were not disappointed. Without really knowing what to expect, we were thoroughly entertained (and spooked) by the ghost stories, entwined with Chicago history, magic and mind tricks.... More

Saw the show on Friday, March 30, 2012. It took place in the early evening at the Excalibur Nightclub in a private room downstairs (long before the noisy dance crowd settles in.) The performance space is dark and intimate (it seats around 3 dozen) in a thrust arrangement so that everyone is close and can see everything. Admission includes 2... More

Tobin's show was a blast. My friends took me there as part of my bachelor party, and we had a great time. To briefly summarize, the show is basically like a combination Chicago ghost tour and magic show. Tobin includes some illusions and tricks set to the theme of various Chicago ghost stories and historical figures. Tobin has some good... More

We entertained visitors from out of town and chose this show as it appeared to be out of the ordinary. It was more that "out of the ordinary," it was incredible. Our guests are still talking about the experience. Neil Tobin integrated some fascinating stories about Chicago and its characters with some unexplainable psychic phenomena. Neil Tobin is real master... More

We went together not knowing what to expect. We've seen many acts mixing magic and illusions and things of that nature but never a supernatural show. This show was great. My boyfriend is very skeptical when it comes to things of this nature. However, the Resurrection Mary portion of the show (he was chosen to participate in this) left us... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

Starting out overly dramatized in front of a small intimate group, with the slant of the macabre, the acting was obvious and rather stilted. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the illusions and the story-lines quite a bit. The segues from story to story were fairly smooth. Making the audience comfortable and entertained is a fine art. Keeping from... More

This is a must see. The show is set in a genuinely creepy building, the Excalibur Night Club. The setting is intimate and perfect for seeing a series of amazing demonstartions. Neil Tobin is a warm, welcoming host. He tells the stories in a compelling way and then nails you with his magical effects. The show is structured around Chicago... More

My party of three did not enjoy this one-man show. Neil Tobin's "supernatural" stories of Chicago often fell flat. We do not recommend this show; in fact, we were surprised that this show was #11 out of 292 things to do in Chicago.
