Fraser Penman to join Now You See Me Live magic show in the West End

Hypnotist and 2026 Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Fraser Penman 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.

The Scottish viral star has played at venues including the Eventim Apollo and Blackpool Winter Gardens, as well as sell-out shows at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His signature performance blends hypnosis, psychology, storytelling, humour and imagination.

Penman 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. As well as fellow guest and Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Eden Choi.

Note that Weyne is currently scheduled to perform until 10 August only, and Choi will not be performing on 28, 29 or 30 August.

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.
