This magic show is pretty awesome:
The magician Steve Cohen does magic in a suite in the Waldorf Astoria every Friday night. It's a cool 19th century parlor atmosphere in which he does slight of hand and very weird mind-reading tricks. The $55 ticket price is a little steep but it's worth dressing up and enjoying an evening of good old fashioned magic and wows.
I suppose because he describes himself as the Millionaire's Magician it made sense to have a framed Forbes list.

Here we are, all fancied up! Oh, too far away.

Too close!

I was reprimanded for trying to take photos (yes, I was trying to catch his tricks on camera!) so I'll just have to make do with photos from his site.
Here's a drawing of him and let me tell you, you know magic is involved when he's drawn like this...

And really looks like this! Damn, me!

It was very fun. Highly recommended.
We then had dinner at Basta Pasta, an Italian restaurant run by Japanese people which is recommended too!
