About this event

Graham Chapman - back at the Acorn with a new show

Magician, Escapologist and Comedy Performer Greg Chapman returns to The Acorn Theatre with his new show, ‘The Legend of Houdini’!

Even though Harry Houdini passed away nearly 100 years ago in 1926, he remains one of the most famous magicians the world has known. This is mostly because Houdini, as well as being a respected magician and escape artist, was, above all else, a wonderful self publicist.

Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially one about himself, Houdini created his own legend, and spun stories throughout his life to enhance his reputation and build his fame – many of which are still believed by a lot of people to this day!

Now, modern magician and escape artist Greg Chapman (creator and performer of ‘The Non-Psychic ‘Psychic’ Show’ and writer of ‘Greg and Felicity’s History of Magic’) is taking to the stage with a new show, in which he performs magic effects and escapes inspired by Houdini, and shares some of the fascinating and exciting stories, both true and… exaggerated… that make up ‘The Legend of Houdini’!
