We asked director of Rhythm&Ruse, Fania Grigoriou, to give us five reasons to be excited about this spellbinding show at the Vaults.

1. See thrilling magic from inches away

Some of the best magicians in London visit our tables to perform intimate close-up magic sets inches away from the audiences’ eyes. Our patrons experience a wide diversity of magic and magicians during the show – from card tricks to mentalism to dangerous magic that will leave them enraptured and disturbed. In addition, performers from as far away as Taiwan and Korea have already brought unexpected and large-scale stage magic to our audience.

2. Be transported into a truly immersive world

Our audience enter our decadent jazz age speakeasy, The Starling, and are immediately transported away from the outside world. Many guests choose to dress for the occasion and fit right in to the elegance and sophistication of our club, designed by Isabella Van Braeckel.

3. Hear the incredible sounds of a world-class jazz band

Our house band, The Revellers, play a compelling blend of jazz music that appeals to the whole being, body and soul of our audience. The crazy rhythms, gorgeous melodies and intoxicating harmonies reach into the deepest parts of guests imaginations.

4. Discover the mysteries of a secret society

Guests are invited to the Starling by a secret society whose members encourage them to throw off restrictive social conventions and follow their true passions and desires. They’ll rediscover their inner animals, cultivate a sense of awe and wonder and, for a select few, be invited to discover secrets in the private rooms of the club.

5. You’ll probably leave a little merry too…

Every ticket to Rhythm&Ruse includes five premium alcoholic drinks from our bar – including wine, cocktails, beer and spirits, with non-alcoholic selections available too. Tickets – including those drinks – start from just £37 and are currently available through to 29 September.
