Forget everything you know about magic and magicians… Now remember it all again. This is a trailblazing work of theatre-magic in which the magician questions the show itself, and all our expectations along with it. What makes magic magic? Is there really a Magic Circle Emergency Hotline that magicians call when things aren’t going well? A unique performance of astonishing sleight-of-hand, and an exploration of theatre’s hidden mechanics. ‘Thoughtful, playful, multi-layered… will make you question how we watch and what we see’ **** (Guardian).
