“ I’ ve been able to work out, deconstruct and rebuild every trick I’ ve ever seen. Except this one.”
Hugo Cedar was an Edwardian magician known as“ The Vanishing Man”; he created the perfect trick and then disappeared forever, but his story lives on … Directors and performers Simon Evans( magical consultant to the NT, Old Vic and Donmar Warehouse, and two-time recipient of the Close Up Magician of the Year award) and David Aula(‘ The Cement Garden’,‘ Personal Enemy’, and‘ MEAT’), team up to create a time-hopping, misdirection-abusing, mind-bending examination of what really happens when a man, in full sight of his audience, simply ceases to be. This is the story of a magic trick: the greatest one ever performed.
