The Magic Circle Christmas Show

The Magic Circle Christmas Show is our much-loved festive celebration of magic. A cherished annual tradition that sells out every year, it begins with close-up magic and surprises throughout our building, followed by a spectacular world-class theatre show.

This year’s line-up features an incredible roster of talent, including Penn & Teller fooler John Archer, Stage Magician of the Year Edward Hilsum, the “James Bond of Magic” Matthew J Dowden, the enchanting Keyro Pun from Taiwan, and world championship prize-winner Calista Sinclair, making her UK debut performance.

Show Times

Afternoon Performance: Doors open at 1:00 pm, show starts at 2:00 pm. The show will finish at approximately 4.15-4.30pm.
Evening Performance: Doors open at 6:00 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. The show will finish at approximately 9.15-9.30pm.

We recommend arriving when the doors open so you can explore the museum and enjoy close-up magic before the show begins. Please note that there’s no opportunity to visit the museum after the performance.
