After making headlines in 2011 for catching thieves using magic, Dave Alnwick launches Ethereal Magic, a fully interactive online magic show hosted by the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
Alnwick’s show Ethereal Magic will be taking place on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February 2021 over Zoom at 8pm.
The show takes inspiration from Greek Myth, as well as feelings of isolation.
Dave Alnwick, the magician behind the act, said: “I believe magic is at its best when it tells a story.
“During lockdown I think we’ve all felt very isolated.
“One night I was reading about ancient philosophers who intentionally isolated themselves from the world, and I discovered something I think we can all learn.
“That’s what the show’s about.”
Mr Alnwick first made headlines during his Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011 where he stalled thieves who previously stole backstage equipment by performing card tricks to distract them until the police arrived to arrest them.
Dave added: “In many ways, magic performed in a live online setting is more powerful than what I can achieve in a theatre.
Audiences have been very impressed with the performance, making it an exciting show for viewers to look forward to.
Tickets cost £10 and can be bought online here.
