The Man with the Golden Hands - Stuart Lightbody
Stuart Lightbody tells the true story of John Mulholland: a magician recruited into the CIA in 1953. An enchanting mix of magic, storytelling, mentalism and sleight of hand… but as Stuart leads the audience through this dangerous game of cat and mouse, you might find yourself asking... who is trying to catch who?
Winner of Best Magic Award at Adelaide Fringe (2024) and a weekly Theatre Award at FRINGE WORLD (2023), a festival favourite not to be missed!
“Highly entertaining. It’s a masterpiece” ★★★★★ World Magic Review, Edinburgh Fringe, 2024
From the overall winner of the "Magic and Illusion Award" (FRINGEWORLD 2026); Theatre Award (FRINGEWORLD 2018); Spirit of the Fringe Award (SA National Arts Festival 2019); Creative Award (Prague Fringe 2014).
