Rafferty Coope completes Now You See Me Live magic show cast in the West End

Britain’s Got Talent golden buzzer recipient Rafferty Coope will join the stage illusion show Now You See Me Live as a special guest act.

The production plays 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.

On joining the cast, Rafferty said “The Now You See Me films were a massive part of my childhood, which helped get me hooked on magic. It blows my mind to think that I will be performing in Now You See Me Live at the London Coliseum in the West End this summer. It’s a huge honour to perform in this show with some of the best magical talent in the world. I can’t wait to get started and to share that incredible magical feeling I got from watching the films, on stage, with as many people as possible. Remember, ‘the closer you look, the less you see.’”

Coope will be representing the show at this weekend’s West End Live.

He 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 guests and Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Eden Choi and Fraser Penman.

Note that Weyne is currently scheduled to perform until 10 August only, Lester will not be performing on 12, 13, 15 or 15 August, 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.
