Toby Z captivates and confuses in his mind-warping show, 0 Distance with Parlour Magic. Kicking off with classic cup and coin tricks, he immediately starts playing with perception, asserting the fakeness (of asserting the fakeness) of magic—before faking that fakeness. Unlike most magicians who rely on misdirection, Toby Z takes it a step further, leading his audience to mistake deliberate misdirection for mistakes.
From feats of mathematical probability to food-based mentalism, there are so many layers to his illusions that they may not even be illusions at all—perhaps real-life sorcery is the only logical explanation. With audience participation guiding his every move, he keeps himself safe from party poppers and other unexpected hazards while delivering twists that leave everyone questioning their own reality.
Unlike the fast-paced flashiness of many magic acts, 0 Distance with Parlour Magic takes a slower, more deliberate approach. This pacing allows each illusion to fully sink in, drawing out suspense while adding a layer of humor. Toby Z masterfully convinces the audience he has failed—sometimes quite convincingly—only to subvert expectations in spectacular fashion.
The highlight of the show? A mind-blowing sequence involving multiple Rubik’s Cubes that defies explanation. Even after the show ends, you’ll be left trying to unravel the impossible.
Whether you’re on a first date, out for post-work drinks, or just love the thrill of seeing reality shattered before your eyes, 0 Distance with Parlour Magic delivers an unforgettable experience of awe and intrigue.
