Dare you let him come inside your mind?Magic Mike (the magician, not the stripper), Blackpool's least favourite son and Alakazammy award winner for most innovative based animal illusion circa 1983 (still, to this day, Britain's only working magician to successfully vanish a stoat) makes his inexplicable return to stage!Mere months after his unceremonious dismissal from his twenty five year residency at Blackpool's North Pier Theatre, Mike is back on the horse and out to prove that both he and his act are still relevant in a fast paced, ever-changing, modern world full of tik-tok videos and knife crime. Join Mike, his glamorous assistant Donna, and with tour support from legendary club comic Blue Tony (best remembered for his starring role in the nationally broadcast 1981 public information film, Conkers: The Devils Marbles) as he hits out on his own, now mercifully unencumbered by the dead weight of his previous management team - who, to be fair, only ever resented his success, even from the get-go - for an evening of magic, illusion and wizardry, even though all those words all essentially mean the same thing!"Dazzling...ly upsetting" - Derek Bread, Cockington Gazette"...Five..."

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.

Show me the charities

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.
