Fuel presents A Playful Meditation on Magic

See a trapeze artist risk electrocution during the rigours of mind-suction. Delight in watching projectile pork pass through a consenting adult. Be amazed by a perfectly normal carrot. In an heroic attempt to put the art of conjuring back on the map, the magician and assistant have surpassed themselves in this, their most daring production to date. A playful investigation into the mechanics of the magic show. Fuelled by an obsessive love of gesture and magical paraphernalia, the Magician and Assistant swagger from one lovingly crafted illusion to the next. But nerves are raw and telling cracks appear, exposing bleak and unsavoury secrets beneath the glitter. A Playful Meditation on Magic is an offbeat comedy, an intimate patchwork of exploded stage illusions, neurotic experiments, hyperbole, and panic.
