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.

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 visit www.collectivetheatre.co.uk.

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.

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 Click Here.
