explore magic within them.

psychic reading to reveal how we unknowingly share similar experiences and
thoughts.

Magic on the Mersey
- Liverpool Town Hall
8th January
Magic on the Mersey,
the comedy magic show which has entertained thousands of Merseysiders
and tourists alike will celebrate its fifth anniversary this summer with a new
venue - Liverpool Town Hall.
Steve Price, an award-winning Member of The Magic Circle – the world’s most
prestigious magical society – launched Magic on the Mersey just as the country
was emerging from Covid restrictions. He had spent much of his career as a
leading cruise ship magician, and he describes the move on land as his most
challenging year.
“It feels like going full-circle,” says Price. “The Lord Mayor of Liverpool,
Mary Rasmussen, attended the very first show in August 2021. If you had told me
then that five years, and 100 shows, later I’d be bringing it to Liverpool Town
Hall, I don’t think I would have believed you.”
Having performed on cruise ships and in venues across the globe, Price admits he
had no clear roadmap when he created Magic on the Mersey – only determination.
“In the early days, it was really, really difficult to get an audience,” he
explains. “But as more people came, word-of-mouth took hold – and before I knew
it, five years had passed.”
The performances will take place in the atmospheric crypt of Liverpool Town
Hall, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience world-class magic in
one of the city’s most majestic and historic buildings.
Blending expert sleight-of-hand with laugh-out-loud comedy, Price promises an
evening of astonishment, connection and unforgettable moments.
“My job is to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Magic on the Mersey
is a chance to forget the worries of life and be transported to a world where
anything is possible. It’s what we all need.”
Magic on the Mersey,
Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW.
Friday 8th January.
Doors open 7pm. Show starts 7.30pm.
Running time: 75 minutes (no interval).
Limited capacity seating.

keeping exactly what they'll teach a secret for now, but we have a feeling
you're going to love it.
The Session 2027 is shaping up to be one you don't want to miss. The Session has

Derren Brown Only Human
- Apollo Theatre, London
January Dates
Following a sold-out UK & Ireland tour,
multi-award-winning master showman Derren Brown brings his extraordinary
new live show Only Human to the West End.
In this brand-new production, Derren Brown combines mind-reading,
psychological illusion, and breathtaking storytelling in a way that is
both deeply personal and utterly electrifying. Only Human
explores what it means to be human — our perceptions, our beliefs, and
the fragile line between reality and illusion.
Smart, unsettling, and wildly entertaining, this is theatre at its most
compelling. Some experiences stay with you. This one could change you.
Prepare to have your mind blown! See

Magic on the Mersey
- Liverpool Town Hall
12th February
Magic on the Mersey,
the comedy magic show which has entertained thousands of Merseysiders
and tourists alike will celebrate its fifth anniversary this summer with a new
venue - Liverpool Town Hall.
Steve Price, an award-winning Member of The Magic Circle – the world’s most
prestigious magical society – launched Magic on the Mersey just as the country
was emerging from Covid restrictions. He had spent much of his career as a
leading cruise ship magician, and he describes the move on land as his most
challenging year.
“It feels like going full-circle,” says Price. “The Lord Mayor of Liverpool,
Mary Rasmussen, attended the very first show in August 2021. If you had told me
then that five years, and 100 shows, later I’d be bringing it to Liverpool Town
Hall, I don’t think I would have believed you.”
Having performed on cruise ships and in venues across the globe, Price admits he
had no clear roadmap when he created Magic on the Mersey – only determination.
“In the early days, it was really, really difficult to get an audience,” he
explains. “But as more people came, word-of-mouth took hold – and before I knew
it, five years had passed.”
The performances will take place in the atmospheric crypt of Liverpool Town
Hall, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience world-class magic in
one of the city’s most majestic and historic buildings.
Blending expert sleight-of-hand with laugh-out-loud comedy, Price promises an
evening of astonishment, connection and unforgettable moments.
“My job is to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Magic on the Mersey
is a chance to forget the worries of life and be transported to a world where
anything is possible. It’s what we all need.”
Magic on the Mersey,
Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW.
Friday 12th February.
Doors open 7pm. Show starts 7.30pm.
Running time: 75 minutes (no interval).
Limited capacity seating.

and it is thoroughly enjoyable!

field for many years, he is resident magician at Manchester United and is known
for his pickpocketing skills as well as being a brilliant entertainer. Matt will
