I’ve got some shows! They’re very different, with audiences socially-distanced, face masks, temperature checks and plenty of hand sanitiser… However it’s still a live magic show; something I’ve missed so much!
Two shows every Saturday evening at Le Meridien Piccadilly, London, I perform 30 minutes of highlights from my show ‘Silver’. I really love performing this magic - see a taster below. Dates and more info here.
Here are some nice things reviewers have said :)
“Edward Hilsum brings the show right up to date with magic from the 21st Century. Even through the masks you can hear the gasp of an enthralled audience.” - London Theatre 1
“Hilsum had an act that focused on a personal journey. His tricks harked back to emotions that we as an audience could feel, rather than the prior deeds of a stuffy gang of dead white show-offs. He wasn’t afraid to use modern props, and involved the audience to challenge the mindless way we so often travel through the world outside the show. It felt relevant and up-to-date, and I think it was this that meant I felt like I was watching real, impressive displays, rather than a didactic survey of magic history.
In keeping with the first half, audience members were brought on stage to be dazzled. Their gasps were very much audible. Certainly worth a night out.” - Last Minute Theatre Tickets
