Star of The Greatest Magician™, and the BBC’s most broadcast magician of the last decade  - 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 five years of sold-out shows around the world, this five-star magic show guarantees to leave you aching with laughter and 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'.

VIP experience: includes a close-up to the magic meet and greet experience.

Please note: This show was previously called The Dreamer.
