Just because we’re all stuck at home, doesn’t mean that we can’t get involved in a little bit of magic. Round up the family and join acclaimed magician, Magical Bones for A Kind of Magic, a live and interactive online show, presented by The Lowry.

Fresh from his hugely successful Britain’s Got Talent, Magical Bones is one of the most explosive names in street magic today – effortlessly combining the sleight of hand with impressive break-dance moves. Now, he invites you – not only to watch – but to become part of this truly unique online magic show. The show will also bring special and exclusive guest appearances from some of the most awe-inspiring contemporary magicians and circus talent in the world.

Your sofa is the best seat in the house for this very special online magic experience. And you’ll just need one ticket for your whole household to watch on one screen. Running at around 45 minutes long, the show will be hosted live on Zoom, and you’ll need a pack of playing cards too. Intrigued? We certainly are.
