The Remarkable Ben Hart - UK Tour

July Dates

Gag Reflex Proudly Presents The Remarkable Ben Hart. Edinburgh Festival Fringe & UK Tour. Following sold-out shows around the world, multi award-winning magician Ben Hart returns to the UK with a brand-new mind-bending theatrical experience; his most astonishing and impossible show yet.

 

In The Remarkable Ben Hart, witness a world-class master of illusion as he reads your mind, manipulates the fabric of existence, and bends logic to his will. With nothing but his hands, a few simple objects, and his newly discovered uncanny mental abilities, Ben will peer into your thoughts, control chance, and make the impossible happen before your eyes. Witness his original impossibilities live onstage - with no camera tricks and nowhere to hide.

 

Ben said "There's nothing like live magic. It's unpredictable, electric—you can feel the energy shift in the room when something impossible happens right in front of people's eyes or there is a collective gasp of amazement. I've always loved that, but this time, something feels different. For years, I've performed illusions that mimic magic and mind reading, but lately, I've started to wonder if I've crossed some unseen line... Thoughts come to me before they should. Choices feel influenced in ways I can't quite explain. I'm no longer sure where the trick ends and something else begins. This tour is different—what I can do now feels... real. And that's as thrilling as it is unsettling..."

I've always loved that, but this time, something feels different. For years, I've performed illusions that mimic magic and mind reading, but lately, I've started to wonder if I've crossed some unseen line... Thoughts come to me before they should.

April Dates

Gag Reflex Proudly Presents The Remarkable Ben Hart. Edinburgh Festival Fringe & UK Tour. Following sold-out shows around the world, multi award-winning magician Ben Hart returns to the UK with a brand-new mind-bending theatrical experience; his most astonishing and impossible show yet.

 

In The Remarkable Ben Hart, witness a world-class master of illusion as he reads your mind, manipulates the fabric of existence, and bends logic to his will. With nothing but his hands, a few simple objects, and his newly discovered uncanny mental abilities, Ben will peer into your thoughts, control chance, and make the impossible happen before your eyes.

I've always loved that, but this time, something feels different. For years, I've performed illusions that mimic magic and mind reading, but lately, I've started to wonder if I've crossed some unseen line... Thoughts come to me before they should. Choices feel influenced in ways I can't quite explain. I'm no longer sure where the trick ends and something else begins. This tour is different—what I can do now feels... real. And that's as thrilling as it is unsettling..."
