A DUO described by illusionist Derren Brown as ‘the most consistently original, creative and exciting force in British magic’ are heading to The Brindley.

The Scottish BAFTA nominated stars of BBC 1’s The Magicians, Barry and Stuart bring their critically acclaimed and distinct brand of astonishing, gruesome and hugely funny illusions to Runcorn on Thursday, June 23, as part of their new tour.

With several TV shows under their belts including Dirty Tricks and Derren Brown’s 3D Magic Spectacular, the Scottish pair staged the debut of their live show Part Time Warlocks at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and were an instant smash-hit with critics and audiences alike.

They have returned every year since, garnering countless five-star reviews and playing to sold out houses every night.

Following their hit show Powered by Demons in 2009, they were awarded Best Comedy Illusionists at the World Magic Awards, and were flown to Las Vegas to perform in a one off show seen by millions on US television.

Tickets for the show on June are priced from £11-£13 and can be booked on 01519 078 360.
