What's Up with the 'Magical Piano' at Union Station?

A little holiday cheer elicits smiles and grumpiness at Chicago's Union Station.

Rob Bliss Creative teamed up with Amtrak to bring a little magic to Chicago’s Union Station. They set up and filmed a “magical piano” that played by itself and appeared to react to its surroundings. For example, when a young girl sat down to play “Chopsticks,” the piano joined her in a duet. Musician Andrew Blendermann was watching and listening from a remote control room where he controlled the piano. Some of the people featured in the video were actors, but the video was still very magical. A report from our partners at Aol On.
