IMPERIO! I order you to go to this amazing muggle magical show. You will not regret it. The Madd Hatter.has so many wise words about the secrets of magic and misdirection His show has added immeasurably to my appreciation of mundane Muggle Magic.

I am SO glad I met the Madd Hatter after another magic show. Abracadabra has been popping up on the Fringe List for ages. But I always kept scrolling on. I am extremely allergic to squealing rug rats so this show was a giant red flag. So glad I took the chance. As a fan of live magic shows, it was wonderful to be let in on some trade secrets Never underestimate the power of repetition & ritual. It is what makes the sneaky switch so magical.
