Paradox Presents Anomalous 'Dinner & Magic Show'

Anomalous is an intimate encounter with the impossible — a close-up evening of magic led by Christopher Barker. It’s interactive, thoughtful, and memorable…the kind of night that lingers in your mind long after the final moment.

Anomalous blends curious illusions, close-up miracles, and plenty of moments that play with your sense of reality. The two-hour experience unfolds in three immersive parts:

• Arrival: Guests are welcomed into the Paradox with a complimentary drink and ample time to mingle. Strolling magic and additional surprises spark wonder and connection from the very beginning. Photos and videos are encouraged!

• Dinner: The evening transitions to a buffet dinner prepared by Corey James and his exceptional team at Buddy’s Wine Bar & Bistro — a perfect pairing of great food and great company.

• Magic Show: The night concludes with Anomalous, the signature magic show designed and performed by Christopher Barker. Guests get to sit back and enjoy as the lines between reality, improbability and impossibility become beautifully blurred.

Whether it's a special celebration, a memorable date night, or just a fun evening out with friends, Anomalous offers an experience you won’t forget.
