Magic Goes Wrong confirmed for the Eastbourne stage
Spokeswoman Sharon Thompson said: “Already famous for their physical slapstick and knockabout acrobatics, Mischief spent many weeks out in Las Vegas working with master magicians Penn & Teller to craft this spectacular feast of a show and are raising the bar with their dare-devil stunts, jaw-dropping feats and irresistible comedy genius in Magic Goes Wrong.

“In true Penn & Teller style, the stunts are dangerous, the calamities are bloody, and the risks are perceived as life-threateningly high (of course in reality the cast are totally safe, but some scenes of gripping tension and jump-scare thrills aren’t suitable for younger children who might believe it to be terrifyingly real! Recommended age 11+years).”
