‘Joel Dommett meets David Blaine’ (The Sun)

‘Barely skips a beat. One to watch in the world of magic’ (The List)
Following an unprecedented 5 years of sold-out shows around the world – this five star magic show guarantees to leave you aching with laughter & dizzy in disbelief.
Presented by world-renowned award winning magician James Phelan, the first magician in history to sell out a solo-run at The Magic Circle – and most infamous for jamming the BBC switchboard after he correctly predicted the lottery.
Don’t miss what The Standard calls “An unforgettable evening we can’t stop talking about”.
★★★★★ ‘This isn’t a show for people who want to see magic on stage. This is for people who want to feel it’ (World Magic Review)
★★★★★ ‘One of the most endearing factors is seeing amazed faces young and old. This show has many moments like that’ (BBC Sounds)
