Following a sold-out and critically acclaimed run earlier this year, world-renowned magician Steven Frayne—formerly known as Dynamo—will return to Underbelly Boulevard Soho in 2026 with a reimagined version of his hit show UP CLOSE AND MAGICAL. The limited four-week engagement will run January 30–February 28, 2026.

Audiences of all ages are invited to experience an intimate evening of illusion, wonder, and storytelling as Frayne revisits signature moments from his career and unveils brand-new magic created specifically for this production. Whether seeing his work for the first time or returning for another encounter, Up Close and Magical offers an evening of astonishment and connection that blurs the line between reality and imagination.
Best known for his headline-grabbing stunts, groundbreaking television specials, and arena spectaculars, Frayne has redefined modern magic for global audiences. With Up Close and Magical, he strips away large-scale spectacle to deliver an experience rooted in human connection and shared wonder.
