ABOUT At the Illusionist’s Table
Experience the unexpected as artist Scott Silven returns to Purdue with his revelatory, marvel of an evening. After a sold-out engagement of this show in 2018, we return to Silven’s magical world where evocative stories, culinary delights, and stunning elixirs swirl together in the most intimate and mind-bending illusion and epicurean immersion you’ve ever encountered.
At the Illusionist’s Table is an extraordinarily special and limited engagement—designed to provide critical support for Purdue Convocations. This remarkable experience features only six seatings of 24 guests, each one featuring a bespoke, gourmet three-course dinner curated by Chef Dawn Sieber and exquisitely served by students from Purdue’s Hospitality and Tourism Management program, with wine and single-malt pairings inspired by the mystery and surprise of the evening.
Wow, Wow, Wow, Silven will leave your mouth agape.
