THE NAKED MAGICIANS Come to the Southern Theatre June 8

Direct from Australia, The Naked Magicians is the world's naughtiest magic show, featuring hot and hilarious magicians Christopher Wayne and Mike Tyler who combine magic, muscles, and riotous laughs into a performance that takes magic to a whole new level. This boisterous, R-rated magic show strips away the top hats and capes, proving that good magicians don't need sleeves and great magicians don't need pants.

CAPA presents The Naked Magicians at the Southern Theatre (21 E. Main St.) on Thursday, June 8, at 8 pm. Tickets are $35-$65 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.

"Deliciously naughty" and "my cheeks still hurt from laughing so much" are among the most common online posts from audience members of sold-out shows in Australia, Great Britain, and Asia. The Sunday Herald declares The Naked Magicians as "definitely one of the most visually stimulating magic shows in the world," and Fringe Review UK says "we were left with laugh induced aching jaws."

The 31-year-olds went from best friends to partners in prestidigitation in 2014 following several boisterous audience members asking them to make their clothes disappear.

"It's kind of crazy because magic is the second-oldest profession ever and we couldn't believe that no one had combined the two things that everyone loves-magic and nudity," said Wayne.

The Aussie duo have been performing magic for nearly 20 years. Wayne is the first Australian magician in TV history to have his own series. "More Than Magic" aired in Australia, New Zealand, England, and the US. He swam competitively at the Australian National Championships and Pan Pacific Games before becoming a professional magician for corporate events around the world.

"Being on stage doing magic without relying on pockets or sleeves does add that extra challenge and ups our game," Wayne says. "When we say 'abracadabra,' the audience isn't always looking at our hands," statEd Tyler.
