I recently set up at Harper’s Garden to perform some interactive magic for a corporate party crowd. If you aren't familiar with the spot, it's a restaurant and event space in Center City Philadelphia's Duane Morris Plaza.

On the lower level, the room is dark and rustic, and the best way I can describe the lighting is “dreamy.” The light color is more orange-ish yellow than standard lights. It looks like something out of a Peter Pan movie, glowy, vintage, and almost “supernatural.”

Magician lets audience member handle the cards in Duane Morris Plaza — Jesse Dameron switches places with an audience member during a card trick. The concept was to increase the perceived impossibility by never touching the playing cards. This photo was taken at the event room in Harper's Garden inside Duane Morris Plaza.
