Description

In his first Fringe appearance, Thomas W Kuenstner brings part of his sell-out magic show from Duesseldorf, Germany to Edinburgh. Thomas combines applied psychology, storytelling and old-school conjuring to generate original mysteries beyond belief. In Truth. Lies. And Other Illusions, Thomas makes you understand why he considers reality to be highly overrated. His style is unique, jaw-dropping, amazing and highly entertaining. Thomas says: 'Only half of what I say is true' – true, but which half is it? Come along and find out. You will be amazed!

What a great show. A perfect blend of spell binding narrative and unbelievable magic in the perfect venue for such a show. A must see for anyone who wants to have their perception challenged.

We saw the first performance yesterday...what a treat! Such a talented illusionist, with incredible stories to tell...we are still trying to work out what was lies, what was truth, and how the many illusions were carried out. Good audience participation too. Strongly recommended
