#Dave: Literally the Best Magician - Skeptics in the Pub

After a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe and fresh off the back of hosting QED 2017, Skeptic regular Dave Alnwick tours his new show 'Literally the Best Magician'.

Is Dave Literally the Best Magician? He certainly thinks so and intends to spend an hour proving it. Working through every genre of Magic, Dave hopes to 'one up' the classics of conjuring.

Ok, enough of this third person charade. I'm doing a Magic show. It'll be really good, you should totally come. In the past I've focused on mentalism (y'know that Derren Brown mind reading business) but I thought I'd step away from that and have a go at old school stuff. It's not easy making tricks with rope, tissues and post-it notes interesting but I'm pretty sure I've smashed it.

“He is the kind of performer who could probably make reading the dictionary into an entertaining show” – WorldMagicReview.com

I'll even do a talk after the show about Magic. I'll teach you a trick. We'll do a Q&A. Maybe have a drink. It'll be dope.

See you there.

On this rare fifth Thursday in November we're organising a general knowledge pub quiz.

Join your host, Dr Tom Williamson, in The Vines for a night of rational enquiry; it's free to enter and there will be prizes for the best performances on the night! Tom is, of course, excluded from winning a prize, unless you count being carried aloft through the streets of Liverpool on the shoulders of his peers for producing a magnificent quiz. Everyone is welcome, feel free to share and invite your friends...
