Brace yourself, this is not your ordinary magic show.
Forget everything you think you know about magic, this adults only performance will open your eyes to the world of illusions alongside absolute chaos (in the best way possible). Within minutes, members of the audience are dragged on stage to assist magicians Sam and Justin. The duo have a refreshing connection in the spotlight which makes it hard not to love this show, with the performers bouncing off each other delivering trick after trick that has the audience in pieces.
The magic is brilliantly creative; a volunteer’s phone meets a dramatic (and hilarious) fate before reappearing in the most ridiculous way possible. The audience finds Sam the perfect first date, complete with the venue, time and every tiny detail, in a manner which is hilariously absurd. The blend between comedy and magic is perfectly balanced. The humour never overshadows the illusions, and the magic only makes the comedy land even harder.
The finale is pure mayhem, straitjackets, an audience volunteer, a frantic race to escape and one last and very revealing ending has the entire place in stitches. The audience are left howling with laughter, making this an unforgettable ending to a truly memorable production.
Adults Only Magic Show, 21:40, Assembly George Square Studios – Studio Three at 9:40pm from August 5 – 30
