The Illusion Effect
Saturday 31 October
2pm
Witness the impossible, live on stage.
The Illusion Effect is a brand-new touring illusion spectacular where nothing is quite what it seems. Packed with grand illusions, mind reading and close-up sleight of hand, it’s a show that will leave you asking one question: what is The Illusion Effect?
Combining classic stagecraft with modern production, it’s fast-paced, fun and full of surprises. Things appear from thin air, and the magic doesn’t stay there.
The entire audience becomes part of the act, predictions are made that must be seen to be believed, and by the end you’ll be questioning what you saw from the very first minute.
Created and performed by acclaimed illusionist Anthony Street, The Illusion Effect is entertainment for the whole family, from first-time believers to lifelong sceptics.
