Magician James Phelan, brings his acclaimed new show SHOWMAN to London’s West End at Underbelly Boulevard Soho this June, followed by a major run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows this August. Tickets for both seasons are on sale now.
Direct from sold-out theatres around the world, the award-winning illusionist returns with a jaw-dropping, five-star spectacle packed with impossible magic, razor-sharp wit and edge-of-your-seat surprises.
Phelan became the first magician in history to sell out a two week run at The Magic Circle in London. First making headlines after correctly predicting the lottery live on air – a feat so extraordinary it famously jammed the BBC switchboard – cementing his reputation as one of the UK’s most talked-about magicians. Following the success of his smash-hit Edinburgh Fringe show The Man Who Made Magic, a nationwide tour, and his standout appearance on Britain’s Got Talent in April 2026, Phelan now presents his most ambitious and exhilarating production to date.
Blending impossible magic, jaw-dropping spectacle and laugh-out-loudaudience interaction, this show is presented with the warmth and charisma Phelan has become known for. SHOWMAN is a thrilling theatrical experience that leaves audiences reeling long after the final reveal. Putting family at the core message of the show, Phelan looks to inspire conversation about how we as people are really performing.
