Mischief’s biggest and most daring comedy catastrophe to date, Magic Goes Wrong follows a hapless gang of magicians as they stage an evening of grand illusion to raise cash for charity. As the magic turns to mayhem, accidents spiral out of control and so does their fundraising target…

Spokeswoman Sharon Thompson said: ““Many weeks consultation with Penn & Teller mean this show is a spectacular daredevil show with danger, calamity and perceived real risk, alongside slapstick and irresistible comedy genius making it jaw-dropping, hilarious and terrifyingly realistic (recommended age 11+ years).”
