About

Artisanal Wizardry

🪄 Starring Mr Marmalade! 

Step into the strange and carefully curated world of Artisanal Wizardry, a one-man magic show of impossible craft and gleeful mania. It’s what happens when Willy Wonka snorts a philosophy degree and crash-lands in a cabaret bar – frenetic, unhinged and irresistibly funny. Award-winning* magician Mr Marmalade doesn’t just perform magic, he weaponises it, delivering illusions and miracles at a pace that’s part wizardry, part fever dream.

Manic. Magnetic. Absolutely not your mother's magic show – but bring her along anyway, because Artisanal Wizardry is not to be missed.
