TV Superstars and King and Queen of Magic Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee bring their new ‘Intimate’ show to our theatre. Paul says ‘Our last shows have featured large illusions and we wanted to show the audiences a much more close up and interactive kind of magic. Via Twitter we asked the public which effects they wanted to see and this show has been decided by them. I promise you this show will both baffle you and make you laugh. It’s a party!’.
There will be a collection at the end of the show in aid of RNIB
