Harriet’s request for magical bars in this week’s LbL made me think- are there any places in town I could go to see magic (of the pick-a-card variety) being performed? Flameproof

I’ve read with interest that Burlesque nights are making a comeback; a friend of mine went to the Whoopie Club at the Hackney empire. It sounds like just the ticket for a fun night out, but I can’t find details of any upcoming events in London. Does anyone have any suggestions of websites/venues to try? ...

I remember that there used to be a tiny shop in Shaftsbury Avenue called, I think, the Magic and Fun Shop. It was owned by the late and very great Tommy Cooper – hi...

For some reason I feel like going to see a decent magic show. Nothing boring or traditional. Just some mind blowing card tricks and the like.

I’m frequently drawn to the ever-expanding and interesting Nightlife section of Time Out these days, which now includes a section on the growing Burlesque and Cabaret scene of our fair city. Part of me thinks it’s a fancy name for a strip club (not telling you which part though), but on the other hand...

The Museum of London’s latest’s wheeze is to bring magic and mystery to their ‘Late’ event thingy in the form of one Pete Hathway who will be performing street magic and cunning trickery to astound you a week today, whilst mystical tours of the galleries will be pointing out the more sinister objects, like witch balls and curses in Roman gall.
