No not an audience with Paul Daniels - he’s currently too busy avoiding a double hip replacement on Strictly Come Dancing. Instead we promise you a grand spectacular dedicated to the art of magic. Magic Show, a Hayward Gallery & Arts Council England touring exhibition, explores the vast grey area between fact and fiction through the visual arts. Long before Photoshop came along, artists have explored ideas of illusion, fantasy and deception using a whole range of creative tom foolery. Those pesky tricksters.
The exhibition curators will be discussing their personal highlights from the show plus bona fide magician extraordinaire Don Presland will be joining us to wave his magic wand and pull a few rabbits out of his hat. Prepare to be amazed!
