Master magician James Phelan is The Dreamer

Master magician James Phelan is coming to Norden Farm just before Christmas to present his all-new show, The Dreamer.

Star of The Greatest Magician and with numerous appearances on BBC television over the past decade, he is a master of his craft.

Among his tricks was a stunt where he correctly predicted lottery numbers, and his new show follows in those footsteps: The Dreamer is a celebration of the impossible becoming possible.

It touches on James’ parents 12-year struggle with IVF plus how he went from card tricks in his bedroom to going toe-to-toe with the biggest names in the business.

The aim is to transport audiences to a jaw-dropping world of light-hearted hilarity and wonderment.

The Dreamer is an astonishing, enigmatic, five-star rated spectacle that will leave you aching with laughter and dizzy in disbelief.

Described as ‘Joel Dommett meets Derren Brown’, the magician is from Surrey and is the nephew of the much-missed wizard of Wargrave, Paul Daniels.

He grew up learning magic with support and advice from his uncle.

James appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2016 and has been selling out theatres ever since.

He has his own show called Trickster on BBC Radio Berkshire.
