About the show - 'Houdini's right-hand man grapples with the loss of his boss. Meanwhile, decades later, a Blackpool joke shop owner takes under his wing a wide-eyed young apprentice. It's an affectionate nod to a misspent youth and the unsung heroes of our craft. Not a magic show per se, but undeniably magical.'
