Paul Zenon in Linking Rings

A self-penned, semi-autobiographical theater piece marking a distinct change of direction for Paul Zenon, award-winning magician, comedian and actor who, in a career spanning four decades, has performed in around forty countries and made literally hundreds of network TV appearances. By far his most personal work to date.

About the show – ‘Houdini’s right-hand man deals with the death of his boss. A half century later, a Blackpool joke shop proprietor takes on a wide-eyed young protege. An affectionate look at a misspent youth and unsung heroes. Not a magic show, but magical nonetheless.’

Running time: 1 hour 7 minutes

“It is not a magic trick show… but it is an emotive and engaging piece of theater about growing up, loving magic and the way lives can intertwine.”
