Delamar West Hartford

Magician and mentalist Jason Bird, longtime Las Vegas headliner, brings “Parlor of Impossibilities,” his intimate evening of magic and mentalism, to his home state of Connecticut. Performances at Delamar West Hartford and Delamar Westport continue through the holiday season, and the captivating show makes its Mystic debut in December at Delamar Mystic. Each 90-minute performance offers an intimate room of just 60 guests “a night so exclusive, even reality isn’t invited.”NOTE:&nbsp;Shows at 4 AND&nbsp;7 pm on November 15!
Inspired by the 19th-century tradition of parlor and salon magic, “Parlor of Impossibilities” moves deliberately in the opposite direction from Las Vegas spectacle. No stage separates performer from audience. Sleight of hand, psychological illusion, mind reading and impossible predictions unfold only feet, and sometimes inches, from where guests are seated, and at times the audience becomes part of the illusion itself. Paired with Delamar’s hospitality and dining, each performance is designed as a complete evening out, suited to date nights, special occasions, holiday gatherings, corporate groups and visitors. Guests are invited to dress for the occasion in cocktail or evening attire, if they wish.
Ticket options can include a meet-and-greet with Jason Bird, a photo with the artist, a Q&amp;A, and additional close-up magic. The $250 front-row VIP package includes the meet-and-greet and a souvenir “Parlor of Impossibilities” deck of cards. The show contains no profanity or adult content. Performances begin on time with no late seating; guests should arrive 20 to 30 minutes early and enjoy a beverage at the Delamar bar.

After Multiple Sold-Out Performances in West Hartford, Parlor of Impossibilities is back!
Some evenings entertain you.
Others stay with you.
After a string of sold-out performances, Parlor of Impossibilities is back in West Hartford for an intimate theatrical experience unlike anything else in Connecticut.
Created by Las Vegas headliner Jason Bird, this isn't a traditional magic show. It's an elegant evening of mystery, psychology, impossible coincidences, and astonishing demonstrations of human perception, performed just feet from the audience in an intimate parlor setting.
With only 60 guests admitted to each performance, every reaction matters. Every impossible moment happens in full view. There are no camera tricks, no stooges, and nowhere for the impossible to hide.
For more than two decades, Jason Bird performed over 9,000 shows in Las Vegas, entertained more than one million people worldwide, and has appeared on television, including Fox,&nbsp;NBC's&nbsp;America's Got Talent, the CW's&nbsp;Masters of Illusion, and&nbsp;Penn &amp; Teller: Fool Us. But Parlor of Impossibilities is the show he's always wanted to create: sophisticated, immersive, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.
Guests don't simply leave asking, "How did he do that?"
They leave questioning what they know about wonder, illusion, the human mind, and the nature of reality itself.
Whether you're planning an unforgettable date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for something extraordinary, this is an evening you'll be talking about long after the final curtain.


Only 60 seats are available for each performance.

Among Connecticut’s Indigenous nations, the Wangunk people played a pivotal yet often overlooked role in shaping the state’s history. Meaning “people at the bend in the river,” the Wangunk were a powerful Algonquian-speaking community who thrived along the Connecticut River from Hartford to Middletown long before Dutch and English settlement. By the 1630s, their influence and territorial reach surpassed that of any other tribe in the region, directly impacting the founding of Hartford.
Join us for an engaging multi-perspective presentation exploring Wangunk history, archaeology, and enduring contemporary culture:
<ul>
 <li>Archaeological Discoveries: Connecticut State Archaeologist Sarah Sportman will share recent excavations revealing new insights into Wangunk material history.</li>
 <li>Oral Tradition &amp; Art: Wangunk Elder Gary Red Oak O’Neil will convey rich oral histories and connect them to his artistic practice.</li>
 <li>Colonial Interdependence: Environmental historian Tom Wickman will illuminate the interconnected nature of Wangunk villages at the dawn of English colonization.</li>
</ul>
Together, the speakers will trace this history into the present day, exploring how Wangunks continue to navigate power, land, and cultural preservation in modern Connecticut.
