Magic Performance

CLOSE-UP
By Vincent Gambini
A free magic performance on headphones, for 1 spectator at a time.
Saturday 26th October, 10.30am-5pm

Inside a seaside café, surrounded by unsuspecting customers, you are invited to sit at a table and watch a 15-minute performance. In front of your very eyes, playing cards transform inexplicably and sugar cubes vanish without a trace. But as you listen to the performer's voice and the sounds of the café on headphones, the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly thin: is this a real café, or a film set filled with actors? What is really happening now, and what is simulated and pre-recorded?

Tickets are now all booked up- but there will be some walk up performances throughout the day.
