Book Now You need to grab an audience hard to impress them with magic these days. Some acts make buildings disapear. Here Christopher Wayne and Mike Tyler strip it down to the basics. Literally! There's little point bringing deep analysis to this show. Part strip show, part magic, full hen party, this is entertainment with a capital E! Although some routines are a little over familiar, the guys are hugely likeable, not to say confident, and Mike' s twerking itself is magical! Aimed firmly at a female audience, the lads are diverse enough to escape from a straight jacket and a gay jacket- I Will Survive will never be the same again! They are not afraid to be cheesy and corny, and fans of the buff male body will not be disappointed as they build to a satisfying climax (Sorry!) Post fringe they perform at the Trafalgar Studios in London. We're going to see more of these cheeky tricksters!
