00:00It's kind of futuristic. It's kind of different. It's not like the old style of entertainment

00:06We've kind of tried to bring it back with the fashion and with the style of the music

00:12It's not a Blackpool show. The music is quite it's quite like updated

00:22Basically I started with Craig 20 years ago in the magic industry and I started out as an assistant

00:29Performing and big illusions and he'll dresses on and very very traditional and we're obviously we're called the evolution of magic

00:36And it's kind of it is really the evolution of our show

00:39And when we started in black for nine years ago, can you believe nine years ago?

00:44We started in Blackpool and he said he needs a break from the stage so that I had to go and perform something

00:49So started off with a little piece of magic on stage for five minutes, and I already realized that okay

00:55I wanted to kind of go a little bit the mentalism way. I wanted to have a serious character

01:00You know with a little bit quirkiness and it just it just developed over things that I was creating on stage

01:08As performers you have to find a connection somehow with it with the audience and if you're just showing magic tricks

01:16Then there's no connection there. So it's also using stories

01:21And making it more personal to the audience

01:25Magic fingers

01:29Really is a show for everyone. We have five-year-olds. We have

01:34Great grandparents over a hundred who come and watch the show and they all love it

01:38so and we're really trying to do something different here and make it and

01:43Appealing to the younger audience. Obviously, they're the only generation and just keeping live entertainment

01:48Especially in Blackpool alive and keeping it current and new. So yeah, if they want to come down it's gonna be great

01:54Show and we'd love to have them and entertain you
