It’s time for another monthly round up of shows that you can book over the coming months to witness live magic. A summary of just some of the shows that I have been made aware of that are either performing one off shows or touring theatres throughout the UK. Each month I update this list with all the shows that I am aware of and this post has been specially updated for October 2024.
September was a very busy month show wise. Firstly, we had the IBM Convention in Llandudno which was amazing. The Gala show included Ada Campe, Olivier Henning, Taylor & Rebecca, Mark James, Max Fulham and Aaron Crow. A special experience to see all these performers live in the Welsh seaside town. The very same weekend also saw the opportunity to watch the hilarious John Archer perform a full set and a couple of competitions that included Danny Lee Grew.
Mid month, I then saw "West End Magic" with Wayne Trice, Oliver Tabor, Vicky Butterfly and Chris Wilder. Then separately, "Soldiers of Illusions" with Matricks, Richard Jones and Marc Oberon.
To read reviews of these shows, please visit our reviews page here. This page also includes a review of the "Four Magicians - Homecoming Show" that was reviewed by Nicolas Maulet. Thank you - Nicholas.
For any reader that is a member of the amazing IBM British Ring family, keep a look out for a more in-depth review of the Gala Show that I have written for our IBM Keyring magazine.
October is looking quiet on the magic front for me personally, though a lot is still available to book. My highlight for the month is booking to see the Hudson & Hudson show advertised for mid-October in Northampton.
Let me know if I have missed anything show wise or you would like to feature in future, please use the contact page.
