First look production images and pictures from the star-studded gala night have been released for Now You See Me Live, which is playing at the London Coliseum for five weeks only until Sunday 6 September 2026.
Guests in attendance at the gala on Sunday 2 August included Adrian Lester, Frank Skinner, Nina Sosanya, Reece Shearsmith, Jo Joyner, Alexis Warr Burton, Julian Caillon, Jowita Przystal, Hammed Animashaun and Al Nash.
Presented by Lionsgate in collaboration with Tim Lawson and Simon Painter, Now You See Me Live is inspired by Lionsgate's worldwide blockbuster franchise Now You See Me, and brings the magic to life with a mix of high-tech illusions, solo stunts and jaw-dropping spectacles.
The production has already dazzled audiences across Australia and Singapore, playing to packed houses including a completely sold-out run at the Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Morning Herald called it "a mind-blowing spectacle of illusion and storytelling", while Broadway World said "your jaw will hit the floor... a high-energy blend of wonder, humour and jaw-dropping illusions". The show has also just announced a new run in Las Vegas, with performances at the MGM Grand Theatre from 15 October 2026 until 5 January 2027.
"The Horsemen" are internationally acclaimed illusion designer and performer Enzo Weyne, one of the world's leading escapologists Andrew Basso, dynamic rising star of modern magic Gabriella Lester, and award-winning British magician and master storyteller Matthew Pomeroy. They are joined by guest stars Rafferty Coope, the 17-year-old musical magician and 2026 Britain's Got Talent finalist, next-generation manipulation artist Eden Choi, and acclaimed Scottish stage hypnotist Fraser Penman.
