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

Presented by award-winning magician James Phelan – most infamous for jamming the BBC switchboard after predicting the lottery.

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.

Please note, this event has been rescheduled from Thursday 20 November 2025.
