Our story

Magic, friends & a table for eighteen

Bristol Magic Theatre started as a side project between three friends who love live magic. We wanted something small, fun and personal — so we found a cosy space in Clifton and turned it into an 18-seat theatre, just enough room to bring you right up close to the magic.

The intimate single-table theatre full of guests around the magician during a show

No stage. No distance. Just the magic.

Guests sit in a half-circle around a single table, with soft music and carefully considered details all around. It isn’t a stage-and-audience setup — it’s a shared experience. Whether you’re here for date night, a weekend treat or your first live magic show, we want you to feel right at home.

The best magic happens between people. Our shows are up close and interactive, but always relaxed and comfortable — a blend of sleight of hand, storytelling, mind reading and absurd humour, happening right there at the table. Never the same twice.

Sam King, comedy magician at Bristol Magic Theatre

Sam King

Comedy magician

Originally from Australia, Sam learned to grab a crowd on the streets of Adelaide and has since taken his offbeat magic to over 16 countries. A multi-award winner (Best Magic, Adelaide Fringe 2024), he blends fast comedy with surprising tricks and a healthy dose of absurdity.

Gosia, creative director and visual artist at Bristol Magic Theatre

Gosia

Creative director

Trained in visual arts in Poland, Germany and at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Gosia shapes the entire world of the theatre — from the furniture to the tiniest prop. She is the reason the room feels intimate, considered and a little magical before a single card is dealt.
