From the promoter: One of the most viewed magic acts in Britain's Got Talent and America's Got Talent history, Marc Spelmann and Magician X are bringing their extraordinary talents to the stage for one night only in a show that will amaze, inspire, and stay with you long after the astonishing grand finale.

From the moment he discovered magic at just seven years old, Marc saw the world differently. With magic as his voice and the courage to follow an unconventional dream, he rose from performing for free, to amazing royalty, Prime Ministers, and international icons. But Marc's greatest transformation came not on stage, but in life. In 2015, amidst deeply emotional and personal circumstances he redefined what magic truly is, not just tricks or spectacle, but a celebration of love, resilience, and the wonder of human connection.

His unforgettable Britain's Got Talent performances touched millions, earning hundreds of millions of views worldwide, and now, you can witness the magic live. The Unexpected isn't just a show. It is an immersive, heartfelt journey through the eyes of one of the world's most original Magicians, filled with incredible magic, unbelievable interactive connections and astonishing revelations that defy logic. An evening of wonder, emotion, and pure magic. This is one event you simply cannot miss!

The Remarkable Ben Hart - UK Tour

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. 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..."
