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..."

Piff and Pop’s Magic Shoppe, promises a night of jaw-dropping magic, side-splitting comedy, and unforgettable showmanship. Split in two halves, Act one will feature a 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.
Since 2001, Penn & Teller have headlined
at the Rio Hotel & Casino, earning the distinction of the
longest-running residency in Las Vegas history for a magic act, as well
as numerous awards and accolades including their recent induction into
The Magic Circle. Piff the Magic Dragon, described as “the greatest
performing dragon of all time,” rose to international fame on America’s
Got Talent and quickly became a Las Vegas sensation. Since 2015, Piff
has headlined his own residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas, delighting
audiences with his offbeat humour, inventive illusions, and the world’s
only magic-performing Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles.
