    Trickery - More magic

    We attended Trickery on Saturday 04/18/26. Aaron was adept at working with a diverse audience to…read moreinclude them and maintain control of his performance in a very intimate setting. Because it's BYOB you'll get the 20-somethings that feel they have to get loaded beforehand and then act the fool while attending (do you hear that "Neil"? No one wants the focus on you acting like it was your first experience with alcohol) but Aaron was skilled at bypassing them without causing tension or escalating bad behavior. Aaron's attitude is one of someone who has worked hard to make this little venture work, and he deserves respect and recognition for his obvious commitment and work ethic. His act included variations of tricks performed by other magicians, with his own twists. He is an expert at sleight of hand and distraction, which is considerably more difficult in a room about the size of an average residential living-room. He had an appropriate sense of humor aligned with an audience coming to Boystown, an overtly gay neighborhood in Chicago (if you're not familiar). However he wasn't garish, flaming, flamboyant, or offensive; he managed a perfect balance of innuendo humor and audience engagement without being cheap or ingenuine. The snarky one-liners will likely go over your young kids' heads (although bring them to an early show, your 9 year old doesn't belong in Boystown at 10 pm on a weekend), and he carries himself with class avoiding the use of profanity or graphic terms. Again, I can't overstate that his tricks were amazing, impressive, and captivating - as magic should be. You leave the show shaking your head and wondering how it's done - which truly makes it "magic". You would be hard-pressed to spend $36.36/person for an hour of live entertainment that can match Aaron's performance. Pro-tip: If you're driving there you will need to use an app to reserve parking, as there aren't garages like downtown Chicago and every street is filled with so many signs there's no way you will return and find your car not-towed or not-ticketed. Chicago does this on purpose to generate revenue; you'll see "street cleaning" on Tuesday from xx hour to xx hour, no parking when snow is over 2 inches OR any time from Dec 1 through April 1, loading zone, 15 minute stopping/standing with flashers, no parking, residential permit zone only, bike lanes, bus stop restrictions, etc. If you find street parking and think you've beaten the system, think again. Nobel Prize Laureates, Rhodes Scholars, Ivy League PhDs, Mensa members - you can meet them all at Chicago Central Auto Pound retrieving their vehicles. Stephen Hawking couldn't drive, but if he could and he parked in that neighborhood all the quantum mechanics in the world wouldn't make his towed car reappear from the Chicago Parking space-time continuum. The nice thing is if you do reserve parking and give yourself enough time you can walk to many, many restaurants and bars in the area that are open even after the 10 pm show ends. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful experience, you made my wife's birthday memorable for both of us.

    I've attended this show twice now and really enjoyed it both times. It's always a great experience…read more He takes time to thank everyone for coming and even asks how you heard about the show, which makes it feel very personal and welcoming. He's genuinely nice and engaging. I plan to come at least once a year. I also love having a local, neighborhood option instead of having to go downtown to see similar acts.

    Midwest Field Solutions - Renovated

    Midwest Field Solutions should be considered and used for any qualifying contracts. MFS completed a…read morerenovation project on three baseball/softball fields in Lake County, IL, and they are stunning, also now the best fields in the township. MFS works efficiently, completing the massive renovation project within days of starting. They went above and beyond what the project outlines to ensure quality and satisfaction. The fields they renovated had not been used in nearly a decade, required extensive work, and had become overgrown and part of the neighboring grass fields. Further, to accommodate the necessary base distances, the infield had to be expanded. MFS worked with our budget to provide the best outcome possible, and then some. They installed anchors at all distances (regardless of how taxing the process was) to be accommodating to all levels of athletics we may have and to set us up for a successful future. Compared to our other quotes and companies we contacted, it was a "no-brainer" to use Midwest Field Solutions. They work professionally, pristinely, and go above and beyond. We will use MFS for all of our future projects and would only recommend them as the premier provider across the Midwest. MFS takes pride in the work they do, the communities they serve, and the impact their work will have.

    From the owner: At Midwest Field Solutions, our mission is to build and revitalize athletic field infrastructure…read morewith an emphasis on safety, playability, and customizable solutions to ensure a better foundation for your team’s athletic development. The attention to detail and pride of the capital improvement projects we take on directly correlates to the pride and camaraderie of the players on the field. We are best know for laser grading, installing drainage systems, irrigation, batting cages, netting or barrier systems, artificial turf, sod, and seed as well as constructing the pitcher's mound and home plate, backstops, bleachers, dugouts. We would love the opportunity to work with you and enhance your outdoor or indoor athletic fields. In the winter months, we offer snow plowing and removal services for commercial properties in Elk Grove Village and neighboring cities. Please reach out to us for a free consultation. You can count on us to create a customized plan accompanied by high quality work to fit your needs.

The OTB site is located right next to Salerno-Pincente Ristorante. Admission fee is $1 per person. There are a few self-service machines where you can make your picks. and lots and lots of televisions with different races to view. The location provides service of drinks (not sure about food). Plenty of parking in the area. We had no idea how to put our picks in the machine, but it was easy to figure out once we got a racing guide that they offer when you pay your admission fee. The website states: The 4,700 sq. ft. Trackside facility located within the 12,700 sq. ft. restaurant features a total of 61 high definition televisions including 13 42" Plasma televisions, 16 50" Plasma receivers and one 63" Plasma monitor. Wagering will be available at any of 12 manned or self-service terminals featuring the latest in tote technology. The Trackside Sports Bar area can seat approximately 145 people while a private Gold Club Room is available for use by top level Twin Spires Club VIP players. The restaurant's main dining areas can seat about 170 people.
