An unforgettable evening of incredible
dining and the most exclusive magic show in
Vegas, "IMPOSSIBLE MAGIC," debuts Saturday
May 17, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the elegant,
upscale restaurant, SIX TABLES, 2110 North
Rampart in Vegas (minutes from the Strip).
After dinner, the world's greatest
sleight-of-hand artist, 2008 International
Close-up Magician of the Year, Steve Dacri,
presents the rarest form of magic before
your eyes, "in your face and under your
nose" in an intimate, elegant atmosphere.
 In
this unique restaurant there are literally
only six tables! The guest count is limited
to no more than 30 people, and the evening
includes a tantalizing six-course gourmet
meal (with your choice of up to 5 main
courses), prepared by world-renowned Master
Chef Roland Levi from Belgium. After your
palette is deliciously satisfied from soup
to dessert, the magic happens up very close
as Steve presents a command performance of
the world's finest sleight of hand for a
tantalizing, mesmerizing evening. At $300
per person (plus tax) it is the highest
priced ticket in Las Vegas. Complimentary
champagne and port wine. Excellent wine and
beer list available
And just because you are watching up close,
you'd think you'd be able to "catch" him.
Think again. Dacri is known worldwide for
his brilliant close-up magic; Regis calls
him "the fastest hands in the world."
Johnny Carson, a connoisseur of the art of
magic once said about Steve, "fantastic; the
best magician I've ever seen." Merv always
said, "He makes me so angry, I just can't
see how it happens right under my nose!"
"IMPOSSIBLE MAGIC" is magic like most have
never seen it performed. Full of laughs,
surprises, audience participation and
unexplainable illusions, "IMPOSSIBLE MAGIC"
is presented in the Six Tables Restaurant on
Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets priced at $300 (plus tax & gratuity)
include champagne and port wine, a gourmet
six-course meal (choice of up to 5 main
courses) followed by the close-up magic
performance.
An International stage and television
performer with unique magical talent and
outrageous comic style, Dacri has been
appearing in Las Vegas since the early
1970's, opening for Tom Jones, Bob Hope,
Tony Orlando, Steve Martin, Charo and
others. He spent six years headlining at
Caesars Magical Empire at Caesar's Palace,
and has most recently starred in his own
show at The Orleans, followed by the
Flamingo and Imperial Palace with his
trademark type of magic called "Xtreme
Close-up." Says Steve, "I am delighted to
be working with Chef Roland and Six Tables
restaurant to bring this very different type
of magic show to Las Vegas. The intimate
dining room is perfect for viewing close-up
magic because the audience is limited to 30
seats. It will be a fabulous treat in every
way from the ambience of the room and
incredible food, to the IMPOSSIBLE MAGIC."
Steve's road to Las Vegas and prominence
began in Worcester, Massachusetts when he
was six. His parents gave him a Mandrake
the Magician magic set, the bug bit him, and
he's been practicing, inventing and
performing magic ever since. "I grew up
watching Red Skelton, Abbott & Costello, The
Three Stooges, The Amazing Ballantine and
Jackie Gleason. " I always knew I wanted to
be able to entertain people like they did,"
says Steve. Their influence can be seen in
Steve's comedic style and his ability to
effortlessly make people laugh. By the age
of eight, Steve was performing magic at
family gatherings, at Boy Scout banquets,
school assemblies, church functions and
birthday parties. At 15, he added night
clubs, state fairs and company parties to
the mix. 
Today he is in demand all over the world,
from celebrity events, private parties for
Royalty and presidents and at corporate
events for Fortune 500 clients. After an
illustrious career spanning over 30 years as
a multitalented performer on TV, in top
clubs and resorts, cruise ships and such
prestigious venues as Radio City Music Hall
and the Casino de Monte Carlo, Steve was
awarded the MERLIN, the equivalent of an
Oscar in the magic world, naming him the
2008 International Close-up Magician of the
Year. The Merlin is given each year by the
International Magicians Society, the world's
largest magic organization. Previous Merlin
recipients include Siegfried & Roy, Doug
Henning, David Copperfield and Chris Angel,
among others.
Dacri has blown audiences away with his
skills on the "Tonight Show," "Merv
Griffin," "Live with Regis Philbin,"
"Candid Camera," "Dinah Shore," "That's
Incredible," "Dick Cavett Show," "Good
Morning America," "Evening at the Improv," "thirtysomething,"
and hundreds of other television appearances
during his 30-plus year career. . He also
produced and starred in "Magic Notebook" and
26 episodes of the syndicated television
variety series "Magical Mystery Tour."
Years ago on television with the legendary
Joey Bishop, Joey remarked, "Steve is
uncanny, I sit right next to him and I still
have no idea how he does this stuff…a real
artist." Steve is currently seen in
infomercials on television offering his
latest multi-volume series, "Magic Secrets
from Around the World."
During his lifelong magic career, Steve
befriended some of the legendary greats in
the world of close-up magic at an early age
and spent years studying with many of them.
Steve comments, "My instruction came from
the truly great sleight-of-hand artists in
the world, such as my friends Tony Slydini,
"the Professor" Dai Vernon, and Frank
Garcia. They trained me to make close-up
magic the focus of my work. Everything I do
is influenced by them." Considered to be the
world's foremost sleight of hand entertainer
by his peers, Dacri's uncanny magic defies
belief and has earned him numerous awards
and accolades worldwide from the
International Brotherhood of Magicians, the
Society of American Magicians, and the
National College Association of America. He
was nominated for a magic academy award for
his performance at the world famous Magic
Castle in Hollywood, California where he has
been a favorite performer since 1973. In
2002, he was awarded the highest honors ever
bestowed in magic with the "Member of The
Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star" by The
Magic Circle in London.
After studying acting in Hollywood with Lee
Strasberg and Larry Parke for seven years,
Steve enjoyed a brief acting career, with
dramatic appearances on "Quincy," "The Fall
Guy," "Cover Up," and some best forgotten
plays. In the Troma Studios film, "Monster
in the Closet," Steve plays the nervous and
nosy reporter (Clark Kent) alongside Claude
Atkins, Howard Duff and Henry Gibson.
In 1985 Steve produced "Magic Secrets," the
first instructional magic video for the
general public. This was followed by "Magic
Party Show." Together these two titles have
sold over 150,000 copies to date and their
re-release this year has been met with wild
enthusiasm. He is also a prolific writer
and director, with an impressive collection
of commercials (Diet Coke, Ford) and
television shows (Bounty Hunters, Fox Comedy
Special) to his credit. He also has
numerous best-selling DVD programs that
teach magicians his secrets, and most magic
shops carry his popular "Sponge Ball ToolBox
DVD kit" which teaches magic to beginners
and aspiring magicians of all ages.
Called "the fastest hands in the world" by
none other than Regis Philbin, his world
famous "Martians" (sponge balls) have
appeared in the hands of thousands of
people, from celebrities and sports figures,
to movie stars and presidents. Steve Dacri
has come a long way since Milton Berle
praised him on television ("The best I've
ever seen") and Bob Hope called him "my
favorite magician." He's one magician who
keeps inventing new ways of entertaining
audiences. . . just like magic.
