The
Mesmerist - Watford Palace Theatre
March Dates
In 2020, Rufus Hound learnt of the death of his estranged grandfather. The last
five years have been a dizzying journey of discovery for Rufus, which culminates
in the headline production of Watford Palace Theatre’s spring season, The
Mesmerist.
The production is a collaboration between Rufus and Watford Palace Theatre, as
he takes his family history and weaves in the discovery that his grandad had
been a magician with the stage name The Mesmerist.
Old boxes Rufus inherited were filled with illusions, journals and props from
his grandfather’s final magic show, previously performed in its entirety only
once at Watford Palace Theatre in 1983. Intrigued, fascinated, out of work
during lockdown and looking for a new project, Rufus learnt the show. This is
that show. That labour of rediscovery and reinvention is uncovered and ready to
be shared, as The Mesmerist is born from a legacy, resurrected from a forgotten
past.
Prepare for magic, mystery and unforgettable theatre as multi-talented actor,
comedian and presenter Rufus Hound (One Man, Two Guvnors, National Theatre; A
Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story, Birmingham Repertory Theatre) takes centre
stage. 2nd to 21st March.
Director: Steve Marmion. Magic Consultant: Scott Penrose. 2nd to 21st March at Watford Palace
Theatre, 20 Clarendon Road, Watford WD17 1JZ.

Paul Dickson writes:
The Ultimate Lecture on Self-Working Miracles — Supercharged for the
Real World!
Join international entertainer Sean Heydon for a fast-paced, inspiring
exploration of the world’s greatest self-working card tricks — and
discover how to elevate them into headline-worthy professional routines.
Sean has amassed billions of views across social media, built a global
following for his card-magic content, performed for luxury cruise lines,
in theatres and television, and released several modern-day classics. In
Virtually Autonomous Card Tricks, he reveals how to take simple, almost
automatic principles and turn them into high-impact, audience-tested
pieces of theatre.
This lecture is packed with:
The strongest self-working and semi-automatic card tricks ever created.
How Sean adapts these routines for stage, close-up, cabaret, and social
media.
Secrets for adding structure, pacing, comedy, scripting, and emotional
hooks.
How to create modern, visual presentations that feel impossible.
Real-world advice on turning “easy” tricks into routines that get
reactions normally reserved for knuckle-busting sleights.
Behind-the-scenes insight into Sean’s viral performances and how to make
magic travel from the hands to the camera.
Whether you’re a hobbyist or a working professional, this lecture proves
that you don’t need difficult sleight of hand to create world-class
miracles.
If you love card magic — or if you want to perform stronger magic with
less effort — this is an essential evening with one of the most creative
and successful magicians working today. Thursday 19th March at The

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..."

Cunliffe's 'The Good, The Bad & The Gruesome' Lecture - Medway Magical
Society
7th April
Richard Harris writes: Over a quarter of a
century in the making. Performing magic and entertaining audiences in
their thousands from all around the world, and entertaining both
magicians and the general public... now is your chance to see this
fascinating and informative magic lecture.
Kevin Cunliffe (aka Psycho Kev) was raised in touring circuses and has
magic running through his veins, born into a fifth-generation family of
entertainers. Whilst performing the most mindboggling Sideshow routines
and visual stage illusions, Kevin also has an alter ego called 'Psycho
Kev', and was chosen to appear in the infamous touring sideshow 'Circus
of Horrors'. He has designed and created illusions and trained some of
the world’s leading entertainers.
Kevin has finally decided to compile some of his most closely guarded
secrets that have helped him along the way over these years; time-tested
routines and methods. Many have come about through challenging
circumstances. It is from these circumstances that gave the title ‘The
Good, The Bad & The Gruesome’! In the lecture, Kevin will cover EDC,
Close-up, Mind Reading, Stage Illusion, Sleight of Hand, and Sideshow.
Prepare to experience the weird and wonderful world of Kevin Cunliffe
aka Psycho Kev. 7th April at 8pm. Tickets: £5 members, £10 non-members.

Covent
Garden May Fayre and Puppet Festival
10th May
Welcome to the 51st Annual Covent Garden May
Fayre and Puppet Festival, a joyful celebration in the heart of the West
End and the country’s longest‑running puppet festival. Each year,
puppeteers from around the world gather to perform, share ideas, and
inspire new generations while honoring centuries of tradition.
The festival marks 9th May 1662, when Samuel Pepys recorded seeing "an
Italian puppet play" in Covent Garden—the first written account of a
Punch & Judy show in England. A plaque on the wall of St Paul’s Church,
commemorates this moment. Inspired by this history, the first May Fayre
was launched in 1976, and it has been held every second Sunday in May
ever since.
Festivities begin at 11am in the garden of St Paul’s Church, Bedford
Street, with a grand procession led by a brass band, followed by a toast
to Mr Punch at the plaque. At 12 noon, a special service takes place
inside St Paul's, often featuring Mr Punch in the pulpit. Visitors can enjoy Punch & Judy shows, puppetry
from Britain and abroad, clowns, stilt walkers, magicians, folk dancing,
stalls, workshops and refreshments.
All Punch & Judy Professors, puppeteers, clowns and family entertainers
are invited to take part. See
www.mayfayre.uk for
further information.

solo act from both Pop (Penn Jillette) and Piff The Magic Dragon, along
with Mr Piffles. Each will take to the stage to showcase their signature
styles of magic, wit and wonder from Penn’s sharp storytelling and
world-class sleight of hand to Piff’s eccentric comedy and offbeat
illusions. Act two will see the pair return to the stage as a duo,
blending their unique talents into a one-of-a-kind double act. Expect
the unexpected as the ‘Dragons’ combine forces into a larger-than-life
finale.
