For decades, NYC magician Steve Cohen \u201993 has amazed well-dressed audiences with his mind-boggling, up-close illusions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Steve Cohen \u201993, one of his fondest Cornell memories is the time he stole the president\u2019s watch. The scene of the \u201ccrime\u201d: a student breakfast hosted by Frank H.T. Rhodes. Cohen\u2014already an experienced magician\u2014asked Rhodes if he could show him a trick, putting a silver dollar into his hand and asking him to move the coin around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a dramatic pause, Cohen asked Rhodes for the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Publicity<\/figure>
\n

The president was astonished to see that they\u2019d swapped watches: his timepiece was on Cohen\u2019s wrist, and vice versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy word!\u201d Rhodes exclaimed, in his courtly British accent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Cohen is widely admired as NYC\u2019s \u201cMillionaires\u2019 Magician.\u201d For decades, his \u201cChamber Magic<\/a>\u201d show has wowed audiences with close-up illusions in intimate, sophisticated performances reminiscent of a 19th-century salon\u2014a style known as parlor magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2024, Cohen received one of his field\u2019s most prestigious awards: a fellowship from Hollywood\u2019s Academy of Magical Arts (colloquially known as the Magic Castle<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve given over 6,000 performances in the most competitive theater city in the world,\u201d Cohen said in his acceptance speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver half a million people have come to visit, which is a lot when you consider my audiences average about 50 people. One man has seen the show 17 times\u2014each time with a different girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Cohen\u2019s shows, coins and cups vanish and reappear; chosen cards defy repeated shuffling (and, seemingly, the laws of physics). Audience members\u2019 wedding rings magically link together; $1 bills turn into $100s in his palms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat Steve Cohen does is flat-out impossible,\u201d raved NPR host Peter Sagal. \u201cDon\u2019t believe me? Then go see him\u2014and don\u2019t believe him yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cohen performs four times a week in a suite at Midtown Manhattan\u2019s ornate Lotte New York Palace. Tickets start at $175; in keeping with the setting, attendees are expected to wear cocktail attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As New York<\/em> Magazine<\/em> gushed: \u201cDressed to the nines, Cohen is likely to leave you feeling that the black arts could be high art as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One of Cohen\u2019s signature tricks is called \u201cThink-a-Drink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After audience members jot down their favorite beverages, Cohen conjures them\u2014dramatically pouring each one from a single teapot, whether it\u2019s bourbon, orange juice, a margarita, or even hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cPeople tend to think that we have to be spectacular in order to capture attention,\u201d Cohen observes. \u201cBut my strategy has always been to go smaller. There\u2019s no denying that what you see is true when it\u2019s only a few inches from your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cohen\u2019s many famous fans include Warren Buffett, Martha Stewart, Katie Couric, Seth Rogen, Michael Bloomberg, Cate Blanchett, Tracy Morgan, and John Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has appeared on the \u201cLate Show with David Letterman<\/a>\u201d and been profiled in the New York Times<\/em> and on CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, to commemorate his 5,000th performance, then-mayor Bill de Blasio declared October 6 as \u201c\u2018Chamber Magic\u2019\u00a0Day\u201d in the city. (That number is now north of 6,300.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2024,\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0included his show on its list of\u00a012 experiences<\/a>\u00a0to try\u00a0in NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Chappaqua, NY, Cohen took up magic at age six; at 10, he began performing at birthday parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had to get really good really fast,\u201d he recalls. \u201cAnyone can get hired once; the idea is to get hired back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Hill, he majored in human development in Human Ecology\u2014with the express purpose of improving his magic skills by studying the psychology of misdirection, persuasion, and illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made a name for himself on campus via paid gigs at residence halls and Greek houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One winter break, he received what he thought was a prank phone call\u2014but it was, in fact, famed astronomer Carl Sagan, asking him to give a presentation on the science of magic and to perform for a group of visiting astrophysicists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cohen got a standing ovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey often say, \u2018the smarter they are, the harder they fall,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cWith magic, really smart people don\u2019t know what hit them, because I know their thought processes, and can therefore fool them better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduation, Cohen studied in Tokyo and married fellow alum Yumi Morishige, MA \u201994. Returning to New York, he worked as a Japanese translator and performed magic at a hotel bar and at private parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He launched his first regular show at a friend\u2019s Greenwich Village apartment, eventually landing a residency in the Waldorf Astoria\u2019s Duke of Windsor Suite. (After more than 15 years there, renovations prompted him to relocate to the Lotte.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2008 segment on \u201cCBS Sunday Morning\u201d brought him increased fame and a growing number of private gigs around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cohen starred in the History Channel special \u201cLost Magic Decoded\u201d and has authored several books including Win the Crowd: Unlock the Secrets of Influence, Charisma, and Showmanship<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the pandemic closed down live performances in NYC, he penned a biography<\/a> of one of his heroes, legendary magician Max Malini; he also produced a coffee table book, Confronting Magic<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As film director Guillermo del Toro writes in the latter\u2019s foreword: \u201cA multitude of wonder-infused audiences \u2026 have all been enraptured by Steve\u2019s storytelling\u2014his ability to set up a delightful framework for each illusion and then deliver it in ways that seem impossible, improbable, and perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
