Edward Hilsum: Silver
Live at The Magic Circle - One Night Only!
Sunday 30 June 2024
On Sunday 30th June, the most exclusive private members’ club for the world’s greatest magicians, will open its doors for a very special event.
At The Magic Circle Headquarters, guests will witness amazing sleight of hand miracles while making a complimentary glass of bubbly disappear! You'll learn some of the fascinating history of mystery as you tour the rooms and museum, all packed with one of the largest magical collections in the world, that includes exhibits from magic stars like Penn & Teller, Tommy Cooper and Houdini.
Then climb the floating spiral staircase to one of London’s best kept secrets, The Magic Circle Theatre, where a lucky few will experience a full evening show featuring James Freedman, “the world’s number one pickpocket” (Time Out) and starring Edward Hilsum, who will “make you believe in real magic” (Dynamo).
Edward starred in the spectacular Champions of Magic show and spent months on the road with trucks of equipment, entertaining tens of thousands across the UK and America. This success led to his West End debut, starring in Wonderville at London’s Palace Theatre. Now the 'hugely gifted British talent' (Katherine Ryan) is getting back to basics, leaving behind the pyrotechnics and paraphernalia to reveal “absolutely beautiful illusions” (Broadway Baby) and “immaculate sleight of hand” (The Magic Circle) with this special evening for a maximum of 150 guests.
Strictly one night only, this is a rare opportunity to experience the astonishing magic that led Edward to win all three of The Magic Circle’s competitions, the only person to have achieved this remarkable hat-trick since the club was founded in 1905.
Reviews:
“A master of his art... the audience are genuinely stunned. The penultimate trick leaves the onstage volunteer so stunned that she has to apologise for her language before returning to her seat, clearly questioning reality and with a memento and accompanying story that I’m sure she’ll tell for years to come.” (Broadway Baby)
“He really is just something special” (World Magic Review)
“Simply Stunning! I have to say this is one of the top shows I have seen this year at the Fringe, Edward has a sense of wonderment within his magic himself that can only be equalled by a child experiencing Magic for the first time! A true professional I expect to see a great future for this young Magician.” (James Kennedy, Edfringe.com Audience Review)
“Highlight of our Fringe experience, I now believe in magic!!” (Donna Matthews, Edfringe.com Audience Review)
“Absolutely wonderful show - we've been talking about our different theories about how Edward managed to dupe us all (young and old!) for the last 2 hours! A definite must-see, you won't believe your eyes.... magic *is* real...” (Lyndsey, Edfringe.com Audience Review)
