THE SECRET WORLD OF CHARLES DICKENS: MIRTH, MARVELS AND THE MYSTERIOUS
In this humorous and mystifying show, Ian Keable reveals Dickens’s journey to becoming a magician, and recreates his
favourite tricks and the spooky practises of the Victorian psychics.

The first half of the show follows how Dickens became a magician and why he gave up magic. It ends, as Dickens ended
his own show, with the production of a fruit cake – which is consumed by the audience in the interval.

Target audience: Aimed at 14+, though younger children have enjoyed the show with parents.

Reviews from Wiltshire Rural Touring, 2014:
Everyone had a really good evening and enjoyed your show immensely. People who came have been telling everyone else how good it was, so we may well book you again next year. What a cracking good night!
