About the show
Tom Brace Saws Himself in Half is a magic show in which Tom Brace attempts to enter the Magic Hall of Fame by performing a world first: sawing himself in half. The show takes audiences on a journey through the best tricks and illusions from magical history, exploring what it really takes to become a legend of magic. Houdini, Brown and Blaine are the giants against whom Brace measures himself. The performance contains flashing lights, loud noises and firearms or weapons, and involves audience participation.
Why see this show?
A fun, theatrical magic show that frames its tricks within a bigger question — can Brace really earn a place among the greats? The ambition alone makes it worth a look, and the audience participation keeps everyone on their toes.
