DIRTY TRICKS - How the Illusionati Rule The World

The Great Baldini (‘Emperor of Illusion’, ‘Prince of Prestidigitation’, ‘Maharajah of Mystery’) is a magical legend, a music hall relict and an old school theatrical performer. He is a member of the Magic Circle and award-winning member of Bristol Society of Magic and Wessex Magical Association.

Baldini is also the head of the shadowy and sinister ILLUSIONATI - a group of elite magicians influencing the world through the use of magical dark arts. In “Dirty Tricks” he reveals (and demonstrates) how the ILLUSIONATI exert sub rosa control, launder money, rig elections and support the CIA. The highlight of the show is the opportunity for one audience member to join the ILLUSIONATI.

This is the next wholly (im)plausible (magical) conspiracy theory for the Internet. Imagine Tommy Cooper meets Blofeld.

“A joyously silly magical romp.” Mark Tatersall, Dorchester Arts
