Magic’s in his bones and new show is full of soul
Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he performed to packed houses, one of the hottest British talents from the magic scene, breakdancing magician and finalist of Britain’s Got Talent, Magical Bones, is set to embark on a national tour including a stop at Leeds.
His new show is called Soulful Magic and it arrives at the City Varieties on Friday April 21.
He promises a set of powerful illusions intertwined with great stories, beautiful music, lots of laughter and, of course, the coolest, break-dance moves.
Bones’ uniqueness resides in his ability to effortlessly combine intricate sleight of hand with mesmerising illusions and jaw-dropping break-dance moves.
The new show is the culmination of more than 10 years of stage work that Bones has been performing since his first stage show, the Sleight Of Dance, up to his most recent success, Black Magic.
His l blend of comedy, multiple magic styles, and breakdance skills make him one of the most interesting, entertaining and impressive talent to witness and this show is a must-see for both adults and children.
Bones says: “I couldn’t be more eager to go on tour and keep on sharing my passion with the world.
"With trust at the core, Magic can really inspire.
"I’ve always used magic to share my experiences of street culture and lifestyle and all the heroes that have inspired me – this show is a testament to all these things.
"I have poured my heart and soul into these new effects pushing myself to the realms of impossibility, and I believe this is my most ambitious project to date.”
Versatile, ingenious, and dynamic, Bones’s originality stands alone.
He has quietly built a loyal following through the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, West End and multiple TV appearances, including his breathtaking performances as a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent, which
the judges described as the ‘best-presented magic act I’ve
ever seen!’
And although this is not a kid’s show, both adults and children are welcomed.
Magical Bones started his career as a professional hiphop dancer, he was given the nickname ‘Bones’ because of his hard-hitting dance style.
