Description
Eight medical mishaps, 14 screws, six plates, and one fully reconstructed digestive system. Meet the world's unluckiest magician. This is a hilarious, heartwarming and thought-provoking autobiographical story that has to be heard to be believed. Steve Wilbury takes the audience on a journey through the wild adventures of his life, inviting them to laugh with him at the cruel ironies of fate. When tragedy strikes we can laugh, cry or die. This show covers all three. Testament that even in our darkest moments we can find the magic in life's challenges. 'Real joy' (ArtMurmurs.nz). 'Rewarding and hilarious' (TheatreReview.org.nz).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.

This has been hands down my favourite Fringe show so far this year - it's a very unusual mix of magic and comedy intertwined with some deep insights about life's experiences. Very rare to see this depth at the Fringe - I loved it!

Inspiring, fun
Great show, weaving magic and showmanship and humour in to an uplifting and inspiring story of his life, a metaphore to living life to the full and enjoyong it. 100% fabulous entertainment, value for money ... do see it

One of the best experiences I had at the fringe. Funny, moving, and chock full of “how’d he do that???” Magical in many senses. A must-see.

This was a truly inspiring show that really made you treasure the little things in life. The magic was.......well magical and the way which Steve told his medical stories made you literally laugh and cry at the same time! Well worth the money, in fact I wish I had left a tip!
