Britain’s Got Talent 2026 semi-finalist Fraser Penman is set to join the cast of Now You See Me Live as a special guest act when the production arrives at the London Coliseum this summer.
The stage illusion spectacular will run for a strictly limited five-week season from 31 July to 6 September 2026.
Penman, a Scottish albino stage hypnotist, has rapidly emerged as one of the UK’s most distinctive live entertainment performers, blending hypnosis, psychology, storytelling and humour in his work.
He reached a wide audience through his appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, where Simon Cowell praised his “amazing stage presence” and described him as “looking like a movie star.”
With more than 10 million social media views and performances at venues including the Eventim Apollo and Blackpool Winter Gardens, Penman has built a growing international following.
Now You See Me Live is inspired by Lionsgate’s blockbuster film franchise and brings together a world-class ensemble of illusionists known as “The Horsemen”.
The cast includes Enzo Weyne, Andrew Basso, Gabriella Lester, Matthew Pomeroy and Eden Choi, who will perform a series of large-scale illusions, solo stunts and theatrical set pieces.
The production has already enjoyed successful runs in Australia and Singapore, including a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House.
Critics have praised the show, with The Sydney Morning Herald calling it “a mind-blowing spectacle of illusion and storytelling”, while Broadway World said, “your jaw will hit the floor…a high-energy blend of wonder, humour and jaw-dropping illusions.”
Now You See Me Live is created by Simon Painter and Adam Trent, with executive producer Tim Lawson and a creative team led by Ash Jacks McCready, Kirsty White and Enzo Weyne.
