Immersive close-up magic experience THE MAGICIAN’S TABLE now open

The Magician’s Table, a brand-new immersive close-up magic experience, has now opened its doors in a secret London Bridge location, offering revellers the opportunity to enter a realm of enchantment as they get lost in a tale of love, loss and mystery.

Now playing until February 2025, The Magician’s Table invites guests to step inside the world of renowned showman and magician, Dieter Roterberg, as they celebrate his life after his untimely passing. Led by Dieter’s beloved and devoted widow, Calliope – played by Shea Wojtus – guests will come together at the memorial to delight in memories and celebrate his legacy as they are drawn into the final plans made by Roterberg for one last night of wonder where, hopefully, with the help of his friends, family and protégés, the trick that eluded him throughout his life will finally be complete.

Over the course of two hours, world-class magicians, handpicked by Dieter himself, will perform table-side, wowing guests with spectacular illusions and tricks and reimaging what the art of magic can be. Magicians taking part in the evening’s festivities include the likes of Richard McDougall, rock and roll magician Pete Heat, Andrew Frost direct from his sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show, the curator of the Cabinet Fantastique Maxwell Pritchard, Nick Stein, the Crooked Croupier™, BBC’s Dee Christopher, the truly entertaining Martyn Rowland, Harry De Cruz, the charming Gareth Kalyanand magic legend James Went – most of whom are also members of the magic circle, London’s famed but secret magical organisation.

Set against a backdrop of exceptional live music from musical maestro, Ellis – played by Katie Tranter and Garance Louis, and expertly crafted cocktails hand-delivered to the table, The Magician’s Table promises to be a truly unforgettable evening that is guaranteed to leave guests in awe. The cocktail menu offers up delightful twists on classic serves such as the Cinnamon Espresso Martini and Negronita alongside an epic Spicy Margarita, Old Fashioned, Boulevardier and sharing serves of Rum Punch and Raspberry Gin Fizz. Guests can also enjoy a selection of bar snacks throughout the experience including olives, kabanos, popcorn and rice crackers.

The Magician’s Table has been brought to life by Right Angle Entertainment, in collaboration with BAFTA and Olivier award-winning writer Iain Sharkey, and directed by Geoff Colman. The creative team also includes Tom Greenwood-Mears, Kevin Hammonds, and Sheena Patel.
