A hugely talented magician who has appeared on Britain’s Got Talent is bringing his unique mix of storytelling and magic to the Burnley Mechanics Theatre next month.

Ben Hart will perform for one night only as his UK-wide Jadoo tour rolls into town on Wednesday November 1, amid a flurry of five-star reviews.

Described as having an unparalleled reputation for making extraordinary works of magic, Ben is a member of The Inner Magic Circle (the highest position at The Magic Circle) and has collaborated with, and designed magic for, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Penn and Teller, Mission Impossible 7, and the Mischief Theatre, to name a few.

His work has been seen on television including his own series, Ben Hart’s Life Hacks Hoax, for the BBC and on Britain's Got Talent - where he was a finalist; America’s Got Talent: The Champions; The One Show, and hundreds of other TV appearances around the world.

Ben said: “Touring is my favourite aspect of the job. My show is full of very powerful magic and this is my strongest show yet.

"I can’t wait to meet new audiences who haven't seen my work before and reconnect with people who have. Magic really has to be seen live to be appreciated.”

Awarding the Indian-influenced Jadoo show five stars, World Magic Review, the only website dedicated to reviewing magic, mentalism and hypnosis stage shows, said: “Hart tells stunningly beautiful stories through stunningly beautiful sleights.

“From transforming a simple cloth into airborne moths, shocking the audience with his capacity for pain, and performing the impossible with something as simple as sand, Hart captivates the audience with his skill and storytelling.”

Tickets are available from the Burnley Mechanics box office and the show starts at 7.30pm.

Burnley Mechanics Theatre is a Grade-II listed building,which was opened by the Queen in 1987.

It boasts performance spaces, state-of-the art technical facilities and several spaces for socialising. 

It later became part of Burnley Leisure and Culture (BLC) and is now an integral part of the not-for-profit organisation that re-invests every penny of its operating surplus into the facilities and services it provides for the borough.

In recent years the theatre’s year-round events programme has featured some of the biggest names in showbusiness such as Sir Ian McKellen, The Osmond’s, John Bishop, Alan Carr, Lee Nelson, Tim Vine, and the stars of Strictly Come Dancing.
