Following a run in theWest End this summer, Now You See Me Live is sest to arrive in New York City ahead of the holiday season for a limited season. The news comes after the production’s year of sold-out engagements that have astonished audiences across Australia, Singapore and London.

Co-Creator and Creative Producer Simon Painter said of the news:
“Now You See Me Live pushes the boundaries of stage magic to the absolute edge, making the impossible possible in front of your very eyes. Together with Lionsgate we’ve created a show with truly mind-blowing artistry at epic scale, and we can’t wait for New York audiences to experience the magic – live!”
