Murder: The Magic Show

There has been a Murder! The killer... is one of you.

In Murder: The Magic Show, every illusion becomes a clue, and the audience races to solve the crime before the characters do.

Erik “Coat” Mansion was at the wrong place, at the right time. All he wanted was to watch his hero perform his world famous magic show. But, when performing the signature piece — the Bullet Catch — things go wrong. Murderously wrong. 

Will Mansion be able to solve this unsolvable mystery before the show ends, or will the audience watch as he gets arrested for a crime he didn’t commit?

This show fuses theatrical storytelling with modern magic in a way that Magic’s leading magazine has called “revolutionary for the art.” Find out why at 7:20pm.

Let the game begin.

Performed by Caleb Sharp and Annanya George

Presented by: Supernatural Hangover

An Off-Broadway performer, Annanya George was described as a ‘trouble-maker’ in the October 2024 issue of Genii, magic’s most prestigious magazine. Editor Jim Steinmeyer added, ‘His approach is funny, deeply personal, and wildly insightful’; a description that still fits everything George creates today. Over the last two decades, he has invented his own genre of magic, which he calls ‘Magic as Medium Agnostic’ With an emphasis on conceptual storytelling, George has worked across sculpture, film, and live performance, questioning the very form magic inhabits while carving a unique path for its future.
