It’s In His Jeans!
Not those jeans – his GENES!
Frank is the son of Frank Everhart Sr. (Hyperlink). Frank Sr. was the Chicago legend that started bar magic at The Ivanhoe on the north side of Chicago. Frank Sr. went there for a 1 night stand and stayed 21 years. Needless to say, the apple definitely didn’t fall far from the tree. It was passed father to son, and Frank Jr. carries on the legacy of good times!

Frank is recognized by the International Brotherhood of Magicians as on of the foremost authorities in bar magic today. He is to be their guest of honor two weeks after his anniversary at Magic on the Beach 2008 in Miami!
Magic in Paradise
As the popularity of Frank’s Magic Bar continues to grow, so does the interest in magic. Key West has always been a haven for artists and entertainers, which has made it a haven for some incredible magicians as well. Frank is planning to speak with Mayor McPherson about proposing a festival of the conjuring arts called Magic in Paradise. Magicians from all over the world would be invited to come down and showcase at various bars and restaurants in an event that would be built around the anniversary of the magic bar every year. Frank even has hopes of getting May 15th declared “Magic Day” in Key West!
The Schooner Wharf Bar
It has to be said that all the tricks, fun, fanfare and smiles would have never happened if it was not for the Schooner Wharf. All those years ago only a cold April night Paul and Evalena Worthington gave magic a shot in their famous local bar. Frank and his fans have been grateful ever since. “I have always called Schooner Wharf, ‘The world’s local bar’. What Paul and Evalena created is a place where everyone is family. I was drawn to that magic immediately. That’s why Frank’s Magic Bar belonged at Schooner Wharf.” Frank is ever thankful for Paul and Evalena for giving his special brand of magic a proud and happy home.
The Conch Republic
Frank Everhart Jr. is also a proud member of the Conch Republic. He serves double duty as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Conch Republic Army and a Commander in the Conch Republic Navy. He is dedicated to saving and preserving the history of Key West and the Conch Republic. Frank presents the haunting of Fort Zachary Taylor every year in a fun and spooky effort to raise money for the decrepit, but once majestic fort. Last year on his 10th anniversary he was made a Fresh Water or Honorary Conch by Mayor Charles “Sonny” McCoy!
