Magician Greg Chapman returns to The Old Theatre Royal, Bath, with his new show, ‘The Legend of Houdini’!
Even though Harry Houdini passed away nearly 100 years ago, he remains one of the most famous magicians the world had known. This is mostly because Houdini, as well as being a respected magician and escape artist, was above all a wonderful self publicist.
Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially one about himself, Houdini created his own legend.
Now, modern magician and escape artist Greg Chapman (creator and performer of ‘The Non-Psychic ‘Psychic’ Show’ and writer of ‘Greg and Felicity’s History of Magic’) is taking to the stage with a new show, in which he performs effects and escapes inspired by Houdini, and shares some of the stories, both true and… exaggerated… that make up ‘The Legend of Houdini’!
£1 from every ticket sold for this show will be donated to Rescate Wildlife Rescue Centre, Costa Rica.

Greg Chapman’s The Non-Psychic ‘Psychic’ Show
- Saturday 23rd November – 7.30pm
Doors open half-an-hour before curtain up.
- BOOK HERE – £14
‘Psychic’ performances are everywhere these days – with people who claim the ability to communicate with the dead performing in everywhere from theatres, to home visits, and on television.
What, however, for those who are interested in the idea of these ‘psychic’ shows, but are skeptics? Or would like to see how much ‘psychic’ phenomena can easily be faked?
That is why magician, escapologist and comedy performer Greg Chapman created his ‘The Non-Psychic ‘Psychic’ Show’, and is very excited to be touring the show extensively in 2024!
Using the full range of magic, escapology, mentalism and other performance skills, he takes the audience through a ninety-minute exploration of fraudulent mediums, from the Victorian Seances to modern psychic readings, but all clearly presented as trickery – and without any attempt or illusion of talking to people’s “dead relatives’”.
This show is fun and thought-provoking. Although the show takes no stand on whether it is actually possible to communicate with the dead, it shows how the appearance of such communications can be made through trickery, in a way that is entertaining, interesting, and at times downright funny!
