NYC’s “Millionaires’ Magician” Steve Cohen Honored for Close-Up Magic Masterpiece
Steve Cohen, a staple of the NYC magic scene and known as the “Millionaires’ Magician,” is being recognized on a national stage. The Academy of Magical Arts (AMA) has awarded Cohen the prestigious 2024 Performing Fellowship for Parlor Magic, a testament to his long-running, critically acclaimed show “Chamber Magic.”
This award, presented at the 55th annual AMA Awards show in Los Angeles on May 17th, celebrates Cohen’s dedication to the art of close-up magic. For over 20 years, his intimate, salon-style performances at the Lotte New York Palace have captivated audiences, including celebrities, politicians, and even royalty. Chamber Magic is considered one of New York City’s best-kept secrets – a must-see theatrical event featuring dazzling conjuring, mind-reading, sleight of hand, and Cohen’s signature trick, “Think-A-Drink.”
Cohen’s impact extends beyond the Big Apple. He’s garnered over 500,000 attendees at Chamber Magic and holds esteemed accolades like Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star (The Magic Circle, London). His book “Win the Crowd” has been translated into seven languages, adding to his international influence.
“In a time of large-scale entertainment,” says Cohen, “true magic thrives in those intimate moments. Chamber Magic allows me to connect with the audience on a personal level, creating lasting impressions.” This national recognition by the AMA reinforces Cohen’s belief in the power of close-up magic.
