The East Bay’s Most Exclusive Date Night Recognized as the #1 Rated Theater & Concert Experience in Berkeley for the 2nd Consecutive Year

Oakland, CA – September 23rd, 2025 – CONJURING WONDER - Magic: Up-Close & Personal is pleased to announce today that it has been recognized in Tripadvisor’s® Travelers’ Choice® Awards for 2025. 

“We are honored to be included among travelers’ favorites for the 2nd consecutive year,” says Magician Dennis Kyriakos, the writer/performer of CONJURING WONDER, who for the past three years has entertained sold-out audiences at the Claremont Resort & Club with his high-caliber magic and mind reading.

“This is a one-of-a-kind experience in the Bay Area,” said the talented magician behind

CONJURING WONDER. “The audience is limited to 16 guests for this interactive close-up magic show so everyone has a front row seat.” 

“This isn't magic designed to be quickly consumed in 90 seconds or to excite Simon,” says Kyriakos. 

CONJURING WONDER is an immersive journey that builds and puts the magic into the hands, minds and hearts of the audience as they participate in the show.

“We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate Dennis Kyriakos and CONJURING WONDER on receiving Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for the second consecutive year, “ says Edward Roe, General Manager of the Claremont Resort & Club. “Dennis’ monthly magic shows have become a cherished tradition here at the Claremont Resort & Club, captivating guests, members and neighbors with his artistry, elegance, and sense of wonder. His performances bring a unique vibrancy to our Iconic & Stately resort, and we’re proud to host such an exceptional talent whose work continues to delight and inspire. Congratulations, Dennis—this recognition is very well deserved!”

Kyriakos provides sophisticated entertainment at corporate meetings and conferences, incentive weekends, trade shows, hospitality suites and high-end private events across the country and around the world. For the past 30 years, he has been a featured performer and host of Monday Night Magic – New York City’s longest-running magic show – and Magical Nights at Feinstein’s at the Loews Regency – The Nightclub of New York. And he often appears at The World Famous Magic Castle, in Hollywood. CA.

New poster for CONJURING WONDER hanging out front of Postrio Restaurant and the Prescott Hotel in San Francisco.

Even in today's world of social media and online presence, we managed to pulled 3 guests into the show the first night it hung and 4 guests a week later. I think I'll keep it.

And come see it for yourself.

After a year-and-a-half of monthly performances, I am so very excited to announce that CONJURING WONDER is now a WEEKLY EVENT!

The management of the Prescott Hotel has been getting terrific feedback from our audiences and they've asked us to present THE WONDER on a weekly basis beginning this Thursday evening, July 17th.
 
They've also partnered with us on a larger scale and offered up a new performance space in the legendary Postrio Restaurant!
 
The show will now take place on the Mezzanine -- which is quite cozy -- just past Postrio's fabulous bar. Making it that much easier for you to grab a cocktail before the show. And yes, you can bring that drink with you to enjoy during the performance!

Watch this space for photos and video. Better yet, get tickets to the show today experience THE WONDER live and in person.

And thanks to those who have attended for their continued support!
