Riddles in the Dark - The Sorcerers Speakeasy

Riddles in the Dark - The Sorcerers Speakeasy
The Wick Inn
June 26th 2014



Forget what you think you know about magic acts. Put aside any thoughts of short men in ill fitting suits, with white gloves producing rabbits from hats. Banish the memory of that really creepy clown at your friend's 8th birthday who produced a soggy cake from an empty bowl and make way for the new face of magic in Brighton. It's young and it's quirky and not in the slightest bit creepy.

Leon Simmonds and David Stewart have spent years honing their skills and learning their craft and are becoming a formidable force on the cabaret scene in Brighton. Spotting a gap in Brighton's eclectic entertainment market they have come up with the Sorcerer's Speakeasy. It's fun, it's original and it's absolutely free. 

With it's 1920's theme you can rock up to the Wick Inn on Western Road, dressed up as over the top as you like, to spend an evening chatting with friends, drinking cocktails, playing blackjack and trying your IQ with a set of riddles provided should you wish to try them. During the course of the evening your table will be visited by either or both of these talented young men and you will be treated to a sample of their mind blowing tricks and treats. 

This is magic made cool again. You can enjoy David Stewart's mind-reading ticks without having to endure the smugness of Derren Brown. Leon Simmonds has a laid back manner as he casually wows his audience with an impressive array close up magic. Did we mention this is all free?

It's a great way to spend an evening. Throughout the night you can hear gasps, applause and cries of delight as Simmonds and Stewart weave their magic around the room. Unobtrusive and very good fun, there is nothing of the creepy eighties magician about these two. They bring  their own unique chic to their individual acts and compliment each others talent brilliantly. 

You can find them at the Wick Inn on the last Thursday of every month and it well worth a visit just to see what they can do. I'm sure we mentioned that this is free. You have absolutely nothing to lose!
