BEHIND CLOSED DOORS w/ Brad Barton & DJ Qbert

An exclusive night of close-up MAGIC & MUSIC with illusionist Brad Barton & DJ Qbert! Only 34 guests. You'll never guess what happens next!

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS Intimate Miracles, Hidden In Plain Sight. An exclusive close-up magic and music experience from Brad Barton, featuring DJ Qbert.

Consider this your invitation.

From the magician who performed at Prince’s final Fillmore shows and once stole Tom Waits’ watch, plus three-time DMC champion DJ Qbert on the decks.

Hidden behind an unassuming storefront is a world few people know exists. Getting inside is part of the experience.

Step into a beautiful private bar, order an expertly crafted cocktail, and let DJ Qbert set the mood, spinning LIVE. Then, when the moment comes, slip through a secret passage into a hidden room where the unexpected waits….

Take your seat. For the next hour, Brad Barton performs close-up magic, impossible mind reading, and unexpected comedy: a whole new show of never-before-seen illusions. Not from a distant stage, but just inches away. Close enough to see everything. Or so you’ll think.

A borrowed object vanishes, then reappears in an impossible location. Your favorite childhood memory is predicted, written hours before the show begins. Tiny, intimate miracles happening right before your eyes.

When the hidden door opens again, step back into the bar. Qbert is still spinning, the next guests are slipping in behind you, and you’re one of the few who knows what’s on the other side.

“Man you’re really good. I’ve never seen magic like this. You should have your own TV show!” - Shaquille O'Neal 

ONLY 34 GUESTS. ONE ASTONISHING EVENING.

Arrive curious. Leave questioning what you just witnessed.

You’ll never guess what happens next . . . BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

THE VIP EXPERIENCE: FOUR GUESTS. ONE SECRET DOOR.

Each show, four lucky and adventurous guests arrive early and use a completely separate entrance. What looks like a quaint, eclectic shop of curiosities hides a secret door.

Step through, grab a drink, and follow Brad upstairs through another hidden entrance into a private room, just the four of you.

There, Brad performs 20 minutes of his most coveted, personal, and mind-blowing effects: intimate miracles he has spent over 20 years creating and refining, and rarely shows anyone.

One last hidden passage leads you to the center booth for the main show, with a perfect view of the impossible.

ABOUT BRAD BARTONBrad became a student of magic at 12, was working behind the counter of a Tampa magic shop by 15, and was resident magician at the Waldorf Astoria’s Boca Raton Resort by 23. Since then he has performed at Prince’s final Fillmore shows, backstage at Madison Square Garden for Phish, for celebrities like Francis Ford Coppola & Andrew Garfield. His San Francisco residency at The Lost Church sold out for over a decade. In March 2026, Brad premiered The Gift, his most personal work yet: an original theater show of mentalism, magic, and gratitude, inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi. Now he returns to where it all began: close-up magic, right in your hands.

ABOUT DJ QBERTBorn and raised in San Francisco’s Excelsior District, Richard “Qbert” Quitevis started scratching records at 15 and met his lifelong friend Mix Master Mike in a DJ battle in the Balboa High cafeteria. Hip-hop legend Crazy Legs soon invited them into the Rock Steady Crew, and together they won the 1992 DMC World DJ Championships. Qbert went on to win three DMC championships in total and co-found the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, the crew that turned turntables into a band. They were so dominant that the championships asked them to stop competing. His album Wave Twisters became an animated feature film, he played the very first Coachella in 1999, and he’s a member of the DMC DJ Hall of Fame. Today he’s widely considered one of the most influential DJs who ever lived.
