James Phelan - The Man Who Was Magic

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Dare to believe in magic as the UK's #1 magic show returns with a completely new and uplifting production for 2025.

You're invited to a night of wonder, as secrets unravel and the impossible becomes possible.

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".

All new material for 2025. Tickets limited and will sell out quickly.
