Half-Term October 2023

Want to take the children out to see a show? Organised a babysitter but no plans? Here are all the events happening at Arlington Arts Centre during the half-term break.

Magician Trixy, best known for his mesmerising up close illusionary magic tricks, will present a brand-new show – think ‘traditional magic with a modern twist!’.  Guests should expect a show full of laughs, amazing illusions, lots of “ooo’s & wow’s” but most of all…prepare to be left speechless.

For over 15 years Magician Trixy has built a reputation for being one of London’s most sought-after magicians.

Inspired by the art of magic after seeing David Blaine performing his infamous street magic in the late 1990s. He has taken this inspiration to new heights and advanced his craft. He spent his teenage years studying, perfecting his skills, and mastering the “trix” of the trade.

Renamed by his friends as Trixy, he is now renowned for his mesmerizing illusionary magic tricks. Specialising in close-up illusions, Trixy’s unique and charismatic magic shows have left children and adults speechless and in awe.
