Holmes and Watson: The Curious Case of the Masked Magician
Advertisement
From Peter Clifford and The Great Baldini
"TELL ME EVERYTHING, HOLMES"
It’s 1906 - the Golden Age of Magic. The Masked Magician bestrides London’s world of Magic like a colossus, UNTIL…one night, in mid-performance, the Magician vanishes. Dead? Kidnapped? In hiding? After a month Scotland Yard is completely baffled (obviously) and call in Sherlock Holmes to help solve the mystery of the Masked Magician’s disappearance.
Holmes (with an excitable Watson in tow) plunges into the secret world of Edwardian Magic only to find that the Masked Magician’s identity is Magic's best kept secret. As they meet, and question, the Magician‘s peers (seeing a lot of Magic), the mystery of his identity and fate deepens. As they unravel clue after clue, Holmes comes to share Watson’s wonder and discovers that it can sit alongside his logical outlook. When Holmes finally uncovers the startling and surprising secrets of the Masked Magician he, Watson and the audience have to decide.... ....are some mysteries best left as...mysteries!
Performed and devised by two of Britain's most respected stage magicians, the show combines everything you would expect from a Sherlock Holmes mystery.
