About The Man Who Was Magic
Dare to believe in magic as the UK’s #1 magic show returns with a completely new and uplifting production for 2025.
You’re invited to a night of wonder, as secrets unravel and the impossible becomes possible.
Following an unprecedented 5 years of sold-out shows around the world – this five star magic show guarantees to leave you aching with laughter & dizzy in disbelief.
Presented by world-renowned award winning magician James Phelan, the first magician in history to sell out a solo-run at The Magic Circle – and most infamous for jamming the BBC switchboard after he correctly predicted the lottery.
Don’t miss what The Standard calls “An unforgettable evening we can’t stop talking about”.
