MYSTIFYING acts and jaw-dropping moments are heading for Winchester as five world-class illusionists bring their family show to Theatre Royal.

Champions of Magic features stunning illusions, including disappearances, teleportation, levitation and a heart-stopping finale that sees one performer walk through the spinning steel blades of a giant industrial fan.

It is presented with lighting and pyrotechnics to rival the biggest arena productions.

International Stage Magician Of The Year Edward Hilsum features alongside Fay Presto, queen of close-up magic.

They are joined by Young and Strange from ITV’s Penn and Teller: Fool Us and Alex McAleer, a mind reader who has appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

Audiences will be treated to close-up magic during the interval.
