The legendary magician the Great Baldini tells the story of his, and Baldwin the magical dog’s, life from their first tricks to the height of their careers – attempting Houdini’s greatest escape. The show is packed with magic, sweets, puppetry, sweets, water, sweets, eggs, sweets, and escapology. It’s hilariously silly…with sweets.

Come and see two true magical superstars (Baldini and Baldwin) at the very pinnacle of their powers.

The Great Baldini is an award-winning member of the Magic Circle and the Bristol Stage Magic Champion.
