Description
Cluedo, Roald Dahl and one film in particular from 1985... Tom Brace takes a trip down memory lane with a brand-new magic show inspired by his past. Join him as he showcases his unique but totally pointless magical abilities that he discovered growing up in the 90s/00s. Jam packed with nostalgia, expect the unexpected with homages to classic board games, TV shows and films with magical twists. 'Charmed, amazed and delighted in equal measure!' (James O'Brien (LBC)). 'Reminiscent of a young Stephen Mulhern' (List).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Absolutely brilliant show, enjoyed every minute and genuinely a nice guy. Lots of audience participation but he makes you feel so comfortable that even though you might be hiding at the beginning you’ll be begging to be on the stage by the end!!!

An amazing show that truly immersed the audience In everything that happened!
10/10 would recommend the show.

How did he do THAT?! will be the question on your lips as you leave this show. A great combination of "regular" magic tricks using ropes, cards etc and some mind-boggling, brain-bending "what the?" sorcery!!
Mic failures and over enthusiastic children in the audience didn't put Tom off his stride, he was so professional, personable and developed a great rapport with the audience from the outset.
Fun for all the family - go see him for sure!

I loved this show!
Highlight of my day at the Fringe out of 6 shows I saw! It was a proper 'show' not just a serious of tricks. The show had lovely through-line of visiting key childhood memories which he tells in a visual display of magic, comedy and story telling. He is endearing and funny.
His handling of spontaneous moments with the audience was fantastic. Not just a magic show but a lovely hour of storytelling, audience engagment, nostalgia and comedy.
Go see it.

Excellent show today 5*. We saw Tom yesterday handing out flyers, but got our attention by doing a couple of close up tricks rather than just giving us a flyer. He was very personable on the street and decided to go to the show.
We recommended him to friends so they came with us and enjoyed the show as much as us
The show has some great tricks, audience participation and makes you in many occasion asking yourself 'how do he do that?'
Tom was very professional he made everyone feel comfortable in the room, and selected a top notch show.
Go and see Tom he is fantastic !!

A great family friendly show from Tom. He charmed an audience of all ages and is both a skilled magician and an approachable host. Enjoyed every minute, well worth an hour of anyone's time.

So happy we went to this show on impulse! Truth be told, this show just happened to be at a time in the day we wanted to fill, so I booked tickets. Such a happy, pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it more than the show we had been more excited to see on the same day. Enjoyable equally for both adults and children. Tom is very likeable and funny. And I won't give away the surprise, but the magic he ended on made my husband and I stare at each other in utter confusion and astonishment. Even after the show, we both kept saying, 'but how did he do that?!'
Definitely the sign of a great magic show!

Tom’s show is fun, snappy, and family friendly with great content for the kids but many quips for the adults. He does not disappoint in his tricks or entertainment and already looking forward to what he comes up with next!
