World famous magician Steven Frayne (formerly known as Dynamo) has announced a 47-show residency for Spring 2025 in the heart of London's Soho. ‘Steven Frayne - Up Close and Magical' will take over Underbelly Boulevard Soho from 28th March through to 11th May - offering audiences of all ages an enormously unique showcase of magic from across his incredible career to date. General sale will be available from 10am GMT on Friday, with O2 Priority access beginning on Wednesday 29th.
For five nights each week, Steven will welcome 200 guests for an unmissable opportunity to learn about the man behind the magic - how he went from humble beginnings in Bradford to become one of the world's most critically acclaimed and successful magicians of all time. Best known for his headline grabbing stunts, boundary breaking cinematic TV specials and awe-inspiring arena shows across the world, ‘Steven Frayne - Up Close and Magical' is an opportunity to experience the power and wonder of Steven's magic up close - with absolutely nothing to hide in an intimate environment.
Speaking of the residency, Steven says: “Magic has always been my way to connect with people, I'm excited to welcome everyone to see me ‘Up Close and Magical'. The show is a journey to reveal what magic really is, whilst sharing my favourite pieces and the stories behind them that made me the magician I am today. It's a real celebration of all my favourite magic and the people who helped me discover it. It's been really nostalgic looking back at all the magic I've done throughout my career and then trying to figure out how I can surprise people - combining the best of my old favourites with the new. I've been performing for almost two decades and with this show, I really wanted to take the time to hone in on how I want the magic to make people feel. Every night will be different and I can't wait - I'm absolutely buzzing to finally share this with you.“
