Impossible magic show in Manila Dec. to Jan.

Featuring six of the world’s most mind-blowing magical acts, Impossible is a breath-taking spectacle that’s thrilling audiences worldwide. Fresh from its recordbreaking second summer in London’s West End, Impossible continues to tour the world and finally comes to Manila for the holiday season on Dec. 25 to Jan. 3, 2018.

Fusing death-defying stunts, technological trickery, grand stage illusions and close-up magic in a fastpaced performance, Impossible reinvents the biggest illusions in history in what could only be described as the greatest magic show on Earth.

Audiences must prepare to be mesmerized as Impossible brings together six worldclass performers showing off a stunning range of magical artistry. They are: •Magical Bones: South London street conjurer and

break-dancing master Magical Bones is considered the world’s best hip-hop magician. Starting out in the music industry as a dancer for the likes of Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas, Bones has since turned his attention to wowing the public with expert sleight-of-hand. There’s no doubt the tricks up his sleeve will stump any seasoned sceptic.

•Ali Cook: Master of multiple magical trades, Ali is a daring escapologist, sleight of hand expert, stage illusionist and performer of thought control. His innovative live shows have led Ali to be awarded the highest accolade The Magic Circle has to offer — his promotion to member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star. Ali is a pioneer of the alternative magic scene and he has written and starred in various television series such as ITV’s Penn And Teller: Fool Us; BBC 1’s Now You See It; Channel

4’s Dirty Tricks (nominated for the British Comedy Awards); Sky One’s The Secret World of Magic and Channel 5’s awardwinning Monkey Magic and Psychic Secrets Revealed with Derren Brown.

•Chris Cox: Clear your mind before award-winning mind-reading specialist Chris gets his hands on it! He stars on BBC3’s Killer Magic, bewildering audiences with his unique talent. Chris is the man behind the magic at Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck restaurant; he has flummoxed high-profile audiences like One Direction’s Liam Payne and Jonathan Ross on stages across the country; and he continues to “control” minds in his award-winning tour Fatal Distraction.

•Ben Hart: Ben invents magic that pushes the boundaries of film, theater and television. He also tests the limits of illusion, like decapitation, vanishing and levitation. At

16, he won the Magic Circle’s Young Magician of the Year award and his most recent show Belief? sold out to astonished audiences. He starred on BBC 3’s Killer Magic, where his unorthodox approaches amazed audiences across the country. He has recently been seen wowing BBC’s The Voice coaches.

•Josephine Lee: Touted as the world’s leading female illusionist, Josephine has enchanted audiences with deathdefying escapes and grand illusions in her appearances in The Next Great Magician and Britain’s Got Talent for ITV. She is also the fastest in the business, breaking the world record for the most number of illusions performed in five minutes.

•Bello Nock: Bello is known as America’s favorite comic daredevil. Time magazine included Bello in its list of “America’s best artists and entertainers” and he recently wowed the judges in America’s Got Talent. His shows have played to sold-out crowds at Madison Square Garden and his first self-produced theater show was nominated for a prestigious Drama Desk Award. Bello’s endearing comedy and jaw-dropping daredevil stunts make him one of the most exciting live performers in the world today.

According to producer Jamie Hendry, “We were overwhelmed by the welcome that London audiences showed Impossible last year and hot on the heels of our success in different parts of the world. We are delighted to be bringing our spectacular world tour now to Manila.”

Meanwhile, Winston Llamas of show promoter Wilbros Live said, “Wilbros Live is thrilled to bring the world’s greatest magic show Impossible to Manila. This is a must-see ‘live spectacular’ for the whole family this coming holiday season.”
