James Phelan brings his smash-hit show ‘The Greatest Magician’ back to Bristol

By Sarski Anderson  Monday May 22, 2023

Magician James Phelan made waves for jamming the BBC Switchboard after he correctly predicted the National Lottery results.

As nephew to the late Paul Daniels, he learnt from the best.

But in the past few years he has cultivated his own brand, and a huge fanbase for his sell-out touring shows.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Returning to The Redgrave Theatre with The Greatest Magician: An Evening of Wonders – directed by Daniels in his final theatrical project – Phelan promises to wow and delight multi-generational audiences with his polished mix of magic and illusion.

His previous date on May 9 sold out within weeks of being announced, so this extra date has been added due to high demand.

The Greatest Magician: An Evening of Wonders (age recommendation 13+) is at The Redgrave Theatre on June 8 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available at www.redgravetheatre.com.
