"TELL ME EVERYTHING, HOLMES"

1t’s 1906 - the Golden Age of Magic.  The Masked Magician bestrides London’s world of Magic like a colossus, UNTIL… one night, in mid-performance, the Magician vanishes.  Dead? Kidnapped? In hiding?

After a month Scotland Yard is baffled (obviously) and call in Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery of the Masked Magician’s disappearance. Holmes (with an excitable Watson in tow) plunges into the secret world of Edwardian Magic only to find that the Masked Magician’s identity is Magic's best kept secret.

As they question the Magician‘s peers (seeing a lot of Magic), the mystery of his fate deepens. As they unravel clue after clue, Holmes comes to share Watson’s wonder and discovers that it can sit alongside his logical outlook.

When Holmes finally uncovers the startling and surprising secrets of the Masked Magician he, Watson and the audience have to decide... are some mysteries best left as...mysteries!
