Celebrated illusionist Ali Cook launches an astonishing new magic show at Royal and Derngate, Northampton, prior to West End.

As a child, acclaimed magician Ali Cook was given a copy of a 1948 book, Principles and Deceptions. It was the first book to describe every type of magic trick and now Ali is going to perform them all in one incredible show. Co-written with acclaimed comedian, Dave Gorman, with choreography by award-winning dance company BirdGang Ltd, Principles of Deception is a thrilling, magical tour de force coming exclusively to Northampton this Summer.

Star of TV’s Penn & Teller Fool Us and Secret World of Magic; Ali’s magical style is a curious combination of dexterous sleight of hand and psychological magic alongside rarely seen grand stage illusions, which received nightly standing ovations at his sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
