Eden Choi to join Now You See Me Live magic show in the West End

Magician and 2025 Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Eden Choi will join the stage illusion show Now You See Me Live as a special guest act.

The production opens at the London Coliseum from Friday 31 July to Sunday 6 September 2026.

Presented by Lionsgate in collaboration with Tim Lawson and Simon Painter (The Illusionists), the live stage production inspired by the blockbuster Now You See Me film franchise has already enjoyed successful runs in Australia and Singapore, including a sold-out engagement at the Sydney Opera House.

South Korean magician Choi gained international attention after reaching the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2025 before appearing on France’s Got Talent, where he received the Golden Buzzer and ultimately finished in the Top 3. He was also a finalist on South Korean television competition The Magic Star in 2024.

His 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Proust Effect earned critical acclaim and a Male Performer Award.

Choi joins the previously announced line-up of “The Horsemen”, featuring illusion designer and performer Enzo Weyne, escapologist Andrew Basso, magician Gabriella Lester and award-winning British magician Matthew Pomeroy.

Inspired by the hit Lionsgate film franchise, Now You See Me Live is created by Painter and Adam Trent, with creative and stage direction by Ash Jacks, co-creative direction by Kirsty White and illusion direction by Weyne.

The Now You See Me film franchise, produced by Lionsgate, has grossed $929 million worldwide across its releases.
