BE AMAZED
It’s not just deep-dish pizza. Chicago has its own style of magic, too, and you have an up-close seat to experience three of our glasses-wearing best-of-the-best.
Edd Fairman (Emcee/Magician) is the Mike Ditka of magic: changed Chicago forever, even though he’s from Pennsylvania. Edd’s specialty is Chicago-style bar magic, adapted to play for a crowd in the ship’s salon.
John Sturk (Maestro/Tour Guide) is a legendary improv pianist who’s been music director at iconic Chicago spots including Second City. His music backs up the magic performances, and he also happens to be an experienced Chicago tour guide.
Scott Green (Headliner) has been the Chicago Bulls’ team magician and is a regular on Chicago’s Own WGN. Credits include “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” where he cracked eggs over Alyson Hannigan’s head. He’s also an accomplished stand-up comedian with credits across North America.
TOUR CHICAGO
See historical sights and learn the fascinating stories behind Chicago and its architecture—aboard a state-of-the-art vessel. The salon has huge windows, spacious seating and—joy of all joys—air conditioning.
DRINK UP
With two fully stocked bars on board, you can enjoy the perfect hard or soft drink to kick up your heels and relax.

As long as you need, but typically at minimum MAGICRUISE lasts two hours, give or take, from leaving the dock to returning.
Will I learn about architecture and Chicago history?
Absolutely! John’s Chicago tour is insightful, informative, and, best of all, irreverent and really fun.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
We’ll do you one better: TWO bathrooms.
