About Holmes & Watson: The Curious Case of the Masked Magician

"Tell me everything, Holmes"

1t’s 1906 - the Golden Age of Magic.  The Masked Magician bestrides London’s world of Magic like a colossus, UNTIL… one night, in mid-performance, the Magician vanishes. Dead? Kidnapped? In hiding?

​After a month, Scotland Yard is baffled (obviously) and calls in Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery of the Masked Magician’s disappearance. Holmes (with an excitable Watson in tow) plunges into the secret world of Edwardian Magic only to find that the Masked Magician’s identity is Magic's best-kept secret.

​​As they question the Magician‘s peers (seeing a lot of Magic), the mystery of his fate deepens. As they unravel clue after clue, Holmes comes to share Watson’s wonder and discovers that it can sit alongside his logical outlook.

​​When Holmes finally uncovers the startling and surprising secrets of the Masked Magician, he, Watson and the audience have to decide if some mysteries are best left as... mysteries!

Charming, engaging, and charismatic. A pleasure
