YouTube sensation Neil Henry is back after his sell out run last year with a brand new show full of mind-melting magic and brain-bending impossibilities. This is not 'pulling a rabbit from a hat' but more 'pulling a rabbit from himself'. 'Neil is a mix of Rowan Atkinson and my iron monger' (Stephen Fry). 'Neil Henry is a Star' (New York Times). 'Neil not only read my mind, he got me to read HIS' (Jeremy Paxman). 'Neil Henry defies all logic' (WhatsOnStage.com).

A member of the famous Magic Circle, has even performed for Her Majesty the Queen at The Royal Variety Show! Neil also co-owns the Magic Cave magic shop in the heart of London's Covent Garden.

His new show features a brand new version of the famous needle trick where he swallows an entire tin of alphabetti spaghetti, Yes, Neil will be pulling a rabbit out of HIMSELF. Neil searches for the most impossible things to do and then does them. Random objects simply named by the audience suddenly appear in their hands. Demonstrating X men style powers of temperature control, Decision influencing, and getting inside peoples minds in the most unusual way. Neil's unique style of magic is more than a magic show, it is a magical world where magic just seems to be all around and the impossible is the norm.
