The Arts industry has felt the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with many historic theatres already wondering if they will ever open their doors again.

Professional magician Kerry Scorah (one of only 20 women in the world to hold ‘Member of the Inner Magic Circle’), has watched her bookings literally vanish overnight.

To help support herself and local theatres, she had an idea to take the decade long sell-out Cheltenham magic show ‘An Evening of Deception’ online via Zoom – and so ‘An Evening IN of Deception’ was born.

Kerry was joined by fellow full-time magicians and friends Richard Parsons and Mark Shortland, along with host Steve Knibbs and ‘Backstage’ Paul.

Rehearsals complete, lights, and cameras rigged…the show was ready.

Richard even performed the impossible – keeping his teenage boys off the WiFi while he was live!

The run supporting The Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham was extended from four to five shows due to popular demand.

The three magicians performed real magic by raising £1200 for the charity-based theatre and received high praise from viewers:

“What a brilliant night of LIVE magic in my living room!” said Jo Durrant and “We loved being picked, we felt like celebrities…thank you all for this five star entertainment” from Lisa and Andy.

The Evening In of Deception cast are delighted now to be collaborating with the Savoy theatre, Monmouth to provide the same LIVE interactive Zoom magic show for one night only on Friday, July 17, 2020 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £15 per household/device available from monmouth-savoy.ticketsolve.com/shows with £5 of every ticket sold going to The Savoy Theatre, Monmouth.

So sit back on your own sofa, grab your popcorn and enjoy a wonderful family-friendly evening of magic in your own home with three fabulous magicians!
