Live magic
A mansion experience centered on close moments with live magic.
The Hand & The Eye is a live magic venue. It occupies a historic Chicago mansion reimagined as a permanent home for close-up experiences between guests and live magic. The building was completed in 1889 as the private residence of Leander Hamilton McCormick. Over the years, it also housed the Continental Casino, Kungsholm Restaurant, Grand Opera Puppet Theater, and Lawry's The Prime Rib. In 2026, architect David Rockwell reimagined the mansion for magic, shaping its rooms for intimate encounters rather than a conventional stage spectacle. The venue offers a guest experience centered on live magic, and it accepts inquiries about private events. Contact options also include general inquiries, press inquiries, and careers.
