London’s longest running theatre magic show is heading on tour in 2024, preparing to dazzle and astonish audiences across the country. Hosted by multi-award-winning member of the Magic Circle Oliver Tabor, each West End Magic show will continue to present a mystical line-up of phenomenal acts selected from the most exciting names in magic and variety in the UK. From daring escapes to entrancing illusions and comedy, West End Magic promises captivating performances that will have audiences questioning reality.
West End Magic has earned a permanent fixture in London’s theatre calendar, just a stone’s throw away from the original sites of magic’s Golden Age in early 20th Century, when the likes of Houdini, Chung Ling Soo and David Devant performed at The Hippodrome and Egyptian Hall. West End Magic has since expanded its inner circle by bringing its magic touch to visiting venues around the country.
Established at Deptford’s Albany Theatre, West End Magic developed from a magicians’ club’s 10-year reunion A Night of Magic in 2007, and has drastically been expanding audiences and engagement ever since through the astounding world of masterful trickery. The show continues the legacy from the days of weekly meetings at Davenport’s magic shop, where members met to hone their card tricks and perfect their illusions for 15 years.
Audiences of all ages can expect award-winning magic, illusions, audience participation, mind magic, perilous knife juggling, and comedy magic all held together by an engaging host.
Magician and host Oliver Tabor comments, I’m passionate about sharing the magic I love to perform, whether it be a grand illusion or the smallest close-up trick, it’s all about creating a little bit of wonder, and making people believe in magic – even if it’s just for a moment. That’s the reason I put these shows on. I love seeing people enjoy themselves, whilst attempting to convert any cynics, and experience the diverse variety of acts we have on the show.
