About Neal Hyams
Neal Hyams has been a high school basketball coach for over thirty years, and he brings that passion for sports into a magic and comedy show in which each routine not only amazes but tells a story. The Conjuring Coach is performed at The Helen Duncan Room and runs for 60 minutes. Hayms describes his approach with the phrase perfection is unattainable but when you chase perfection, we catch excellence. Tickets are priced at £10 and audience participation is expected.
Why see this show?
A magic show with a difference — each illusion is shaped by the mindset of a long-serving basketball coach who believes in chasing excellence. Audience participation is part of the act, and the storytelling angle sets it apart from conventional conjuring.
