About this show
Matthew Keys, as seen on Good Omens, performs a wildly unpredictable magic show where nothing is quite what it seems – and someone always gets the blame. Expect impossible coincidences, astonishing sleight of hand, mind-bending mysteries and a few very suspicious scapegoats. Part comedy, part theatrical magic and completely unlike anything you’ve seen before, this show will make you question what you see, what you remember and who you trust. Come for the magic. Stay to discover what what the elephant has to do with anything.
