Chris Dugdale: More Magic and Mischief

If you are someone that enjoys magic in its more basic, “no frills” form, like sleight-of-hand tricks and close-up magic, you can’t go wrong with this show. Though its origins are in the more classic school of magic, there is so much more to it than first meets the eye.

The show initially starts off slowly, with the standard magician fare, but with each trick that passes, it becomes clear that Dugdale has a lot more up his sleeve.

More Magic and Mischief is a gasp-inducing hour of mind-blowing magic tricks and baffling illusions by award-winning international magician, Chris Dugdale. Avid magic fans may remember him if they watched the 2011 magic competition Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

The show initially starts off slowly, with the standard magician fare, but with each trick that passes, it becomes clear that Dugdale has a lot more up his sleeve. Throughout the hour, he performs the impossible, from guessing words seemingly just plucked out from audience member’s heads to subtle blink-and-you’ll-miss-it tricks involving coins and cards.

Dugdale is a charming, captivating showman and a natural entertainer who will keep you enthralled from start to finish. The buildup of each trick and the tension that ensues is just as important as the payoff: he does this masterfully. His skill and prowess as an illusionist is truly astonishing and even if you don’t impress easily, I daresay his closing trick will have you absolutely dumbfounded.

More Magic and Mischief has a touch of Vegas flair and is likely to leave you utterly floored. Chris Dugdale takes time to prove his absolute mastery of his craft, but eventually he will have you spellbound in anticipation, excitement and wonderment.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
