Derren
Brown presents Unbelievable Magic Reimagined - Criterion Theatre, London
December Dates
Following the extraordinary success of Derren’s recent production of Showman,
Unbelievable will be a magic show like no other. Fusing the best of theatre with
jaw dropping illusions never before seen in the West End, Unbelievable features
a New York Subway band and a company of multi-talented performers who will bring
to life, live on stage, an evening of bewildering trickery, from the imagination
of Derren Brown.
The show includes an updated version of a one act play not seen on the London
stage in over 100 years! Will, The Witch and The Wolfman, combines comedy,
illusion and song to provide a breathtaking conclusion to an extraordinary
evening in the theatre.
The ambition for Unbelievable is to create an experience you can’t get anywhere
else in the world. From the moment the audience set foot in the theatre, they
will be an essential element – indeed the beating heart of the show.
Unbelievable is created, written and directed by UK stage and screen phenomenon
Derren Brown, and long-time collaborators Andy Nyman and Andrew O’Connor.

Influence
December Dates
Thursday 19th October to Saturday 2nd December, Collective Theatre, London.
Influence tells The Magician’s story. Bringing back a long-forgotten act, Kit
Young stars in this story of deception and revenge. Descended from and inspired
by a long line of mentalists, conjurers, and illusionists, for the first time he
brings his skills in acting and magic together, to present an enchanting journey
through a long-forgotten act, brought back to life.
With a few new surprises along the way, the work challenges the audiences’
powers of perception, and asks them if they can really believe what they see and
hear? Full of twists and turns, Influence plays with illusion, throwing into
question the difference between truth and deception, reality and fiction. Magic
Consultant: Scott Penrose. 19th October to Saturday 2nd December at Collective
Theatre, Hornsey Road Baths, 2 Tiltman Place, London N7 7EET. To book tickets

Cox Auction - Watford Association of Magicians
5th December
Andy Clockwise
writes: On Tuesday 5th December, the Watford Association of Magicians
will be holding an auction on behalf of the late, great Martin Cox at
their HQ. Martin had been in the business a very long time, and over
that time had collected a lot of Magic. Not everything that Martin
purchased made it into his shows, for one reason or another, and many
items are still brand new and sealed in their original packaging. As
well as these items there will of course be pieces that Martin did
perform with and this will be a great opportunity to pick up something
personally used by Martin in a performance.
The auction will be held on Tuesday 5th
December at the Henderson Hub, Abbotts Langley, Hertfordshire WD5 0AR
with a large car park nearby. Doors will open at 7.30pm and the auction
will start at 8pm prompt. This is an "open" evening at the WAM HQ and if
you do come along, please bring cash as it will be a cash only auction.
All items will start at £1 and there will be no reserve on any items so
you're sure to grab yourself a bargain. All proceeds from the auction
will go to Martin's family. |

Misdirection
- A Full Day Workshop with Tom Stone - Nottingham
8th January
Chris Wilder writes: Whilst you can read a lot about the art of "misdirection",
learning how to apply it, and how to practice it, is an illusive subject.
Presented by Swedish magician Tom Stone and in association with The Curious
Cabaret, this workshop will not focus on the teaching of routines and methods,
but rather give delegates the skills to greatly improve their existing
performances through a careful study and application of theory through
individual and group exercises. The workshop is therefore recommended only for
professionals or magicians with a serious interest in elevating their work.
The day is ideal for parlour acts, but close-up
and stage performers will also get a lot out of the day. There are only 20
places, with a limited number of early bird tickets available until the end of
November. Includes breakfast pastries, refreshments and lunch. Monday 8th
January, 9.45am to 5pm in Nottingham. For more info and to book
