Dare to believe in magic as the UK’s #1 magic show returns a brand-new production for 2025.

Following an unprecedented 5 years of sold out shows around the world - The Man Who Was Magic is a dazzling, new, five star rated magic show where secrets unravel and you're left aching with laughter and dizzy in disbelief.
