Magic Night

Magic Night goes Mentalist! - Friday 3rd January 2012

Chris Cox
A mind reader who doesn’t read minds, he is one of the UK’s best magical entertainers with a string of accolades and awards under his belt. He brings contemporary mentalism, illusion, magic and humour to all his shows. Awesomely brilliant, clever and fun, don’t miss him!
‘Does Tricks that would make Jesus proud! Remarkable.’ Time Out
‘One of the most exciting entertainers in Britain’ The Guardian.

Oliver Meech
Oliver blends freaky neurological phenomena, gruesome surgery and incredible trickery in his mind-expanding, mind-blowing act. Oliver lets the audience see the world through the eyes of people with bizarre brains. Experience what it’s like to ‘hear’ colours, have memories disappear and lose control of fingers. Think ‘Being John Malkovich’ meets ‘Memento’ and you’re half way there.
*** “Funny, endearing, impressive showmanship” ThreeWeeks
“real gasps of awe” Broadway Baby
“a rousing conclusion which thrilled” FringeGuru

Chris Lynam
Described as dangerous, unconventional and hilarious, Chris Lynam is comedy on speed! Unlike regular stand-ups who just fling regular words at their audiences, chris flings so much more… chocolate, ice cubes, confetti, even his own body!
“The prospect of a variety night headed by dangerously inventive comedian, clown and man of many parts, Chris Lynam, is irresistible” Time Out
“Ever felt like you needed a theatrical alarm clock? Go and get woken up!” The Guardian.
“Wild clown in a class of his own.” The Times

Myra Dubois
A cabaret superstar and staple member of the Eat Your Heart Out art collective, Myra Dubois is one of the performers that have revitalized the cabaret circuit, dragging it into the present day. Myra will be performing some special dark tricks of her own at Magic Night with her zany alter-ego ‘Auntie Myra’! A madcap, soul destroying performance of mayhem and comedy magic, sing-a-long songs and crazy puppets. An hilarious show for children of all ages, but mainly the older ones. Don’t actually bring a child, she’s not very good with them! (and it’s 18 and over only)
“A viciously funny attack on decency” - The Skinny
“Funny, observant and full of the recognisable tragedies of youth and age” - whatsonstage
“Acid tongued, funny to the bone” - Time Out London

Alex McAleer
Mentalism, Mind Magic, Psychological Illusions... call it what you will, Alex McAleer reads minds. He doesn’t claim to be psychic, he doesn’t read palms or talk to the dead; he reads people and talks to the living. Combining a sharp wit and a flair for showmanship with his unusual skills, Alex will leave you fascinated and, quite frankly, a little bit scared.
''Phenomenal'' - BBC Radio
"... his contemporary and cutting edge combination of magic, psychology, misdirection and showmanship will leave you anxious, paranoid and utterly entertained.'' - IP1 Magazine 

Neil Henry
Neil Henry, a Magic Night favourite, will be wowing the audience with his clever mentalism, funny and supremely talented.

Magic Night turns on the TV - Friday 17th February 2012

John Lenahan
This subversive and show-stealing act has made kitchens appear, taught Bank of England staff to juggle, read thousands of minds and levitated a 20-pound Toblerone bar (yes you read that right). 

John was one of the first magicians in 85 years to be expelled by the Magic Circle for revealing a card trick on TV. Unrepentant in a Johny Rotten kind of way, he’s been pushing the boundaries ever since and was the first magician to do Magic on the internet.

John has been described by The Guardian as ‘the mascot of a magical renaissance’ - and by Jackie Collins as ‘extremely good looking’. 

Star of BBC’s ‘Secrets of Magic’ and ‘Stuff the white Rabbit’.

Pete Antoniou
Pete Antoniou is a mind reader. It’s just that simple. Since an early revelation that he was able to sneak into people’s minds and steal their thoughts Pete has dedicated his life to demonstrating these remarkable abilities. Using these amazing skills, his quick wit and background in improvised comedy, Pete quickly became an underground sensation. He now presents his own unique demonstrations around the country for sell-out theatre audiences.

“This man is Penon-mentally Good” -- Kerrang!

Lee Hathaway
Award winning Lee is a dynamic, fast paced and hilarious act and one of the greatest inventor of magic tricks around, not to mention one of the top poker trick experts in the Uk

Josephine Shaker
Josephine Shaker is a scintillating syncopator of hot beats, an intemperate whirl of charm and an utter dancefloor delight. She has been seen in European street festivals, the Famous Spiegeltent, the Albert Hall and a number of disreputable locations. Josephine's comically chaotic style infuses her tap performances with a fresh interpretation of the ancient art of hoofing. She can be bought for love or money, but never for cheap beer.

'Syncopated sass and very hot footwork' - The Erotic Review

Tom Devoe
Tom DeVoe is a special kind of magician  - he shows people what it would be like if psychic powers were real - if he could read your mind, predict the future, and if we could all bend solid steel just by thinking about it, while deconstructing the tricks about 'psychics' and illusion for his audience.
