  • Customers who break these house rules will be asked politely to refrain from heckling or talking during the show. Persistent offenders will be asked to leave without being refunded.
  • Customers who turn up on the door who we believe to be drunk will not be admitted. From experience, customers who are drunk even before the show has started are invariably problematic later on, usually heckling, talking during the show or just being a general nuisance.
  • Customer Services can be contacted between 4pm - 8pm Monday - Saturday
  • While we want you to enjoy our shows at Smoke & Mirrors it is important to remember that customers also need to consider other people in the room. So, bearing this in mind, we request that:

  • Please note that if you are booking the whole theatre for an event we as a theatre will seat all guests and allocate tables as your guests arrive this helps with congestion within the theatre, we understand that some of your guests may not want to sit in the front row but as this is a Magic Show and not stand up comedy not one of your guests will be made to anything they do not wish to do, but we ask that your guests are informed that the show requires audience participation, so by informing your guests that they could be on stage would be of great help to the magicians, also if you have any thing the magicians need to know before the show we would be happy to pass this is on to the magicians to make sure the show is even more special.
  • And finally, owing to the proliferation of portable recording devices, it is requested that customers don't make any audio or video recordings of acts or use flash photography during the show.
  • If you fail to arrive by the start of the show which is stated above we will seat you during the interval,
  • If someone in the group you have organised is drunk at the door they will be refused entry without being refunded. This does not mean the whole group is refused entry but if you decide you don't wish to come in because one of your group has been turned away then that does not mean you are collectively entitled to a refund, if a member of your group is disruptive during the show, we will remove the said person without hesitation and no refunds will be given to anyone if you wish to leave with the disruptive guest, so we ask that you you respect all other guest and artists.

    Hilarious and brilliant magic show
    Guaranteed laughs and some truly great magic tricks. These guys truly are wonderfully talented. Tonight it was Chris Smith who kept his act peppered with wit and filth. His final act was a beautiful table performance with a tea set and balls. The second performer was Dan Chard who had to deal with a very drunk punter but did so with funny professionalism. His magic was also excellent, and one trick in particular was so filthy that I'm going to have to recreate it myself. That night I couldn't get to sleep because I was still sniggering at it. Thank you so much. All the team were lovely including the charming bouncer.

    The performers were excellent and I love the fact that this venue is so intimate, everyone feels part of the show ( but not in an embarrassing way!) Even now we are still discussing how they did their tricks !!

    Hilarious from start to finish. Very interactive in a comfortable and intimate setting. Pizzas looked great although we didn't eat and loved Chris's card tricks in the bar prior to the show. Also came out to live music by Billy who was amazing. Highly recommend

    Expensive cringey comedy
    We had an ‘alright’ time but did not feel it was worth the £60 we paid. The ‘comedy’ was pretty cringey. More like a kids pantomime level of humour. On a positive note the room, although small, was well air conditioned. We felt that the £30 ticket should at the very least include one drink. It would be a much better deal if it included a welcome drink, an interval drink and a pizza.

    Brilliant experience.
    Went here with 4 colleagues for a retirement party. It was tiny, cosy, personal and utterly brilliant. A show that was split in 2 halves, each with a different presenter. Both with different styles. Both excellent. I had no pre-conception or expectation on this, but was very pleased and it suited out purpose wonderfully.

Tragic. People walked out and did not return after the break. Not funny childish magic and certainly not work the full cost. The guys mic kept slipping and he was showing cards that no one could see. His jokes included a lot about private parts with also meant cards going in peoples pants… all very gross!
Luckily we got it on Groupon which included pizza which was awful worse than oven pizza.
There is no atmosphere in the bar and over all it all felt awkward.

We went this past Friday to celebrate a friend's birthday and had an amazing time!
The magicians were hilarious and really got the audience involved. Lots of varied and impressive tricks.
The live music in the bar at the end and the discounts on drinks for ticket holders were a bonus!

If we had paid the full price for our tickets we would be putting a lower rating.One average pizza between two of us and a glass of Prosecco was ok, unfortunately the show was not. Three or four magic tricks in the first half, the rest of the time was spent talking to each member of the audience individually finding out their names and what they did for a living - something we really weren’t interested in or wanted to know! The second half was better but personally we felt there was too much talking and padding out with insignificant banter. Less banter, more tricks -which we did enjoy - would have been better!

Hi, X5144YJrobertp We are sorry we didn't tick all the boxes for your evening, it is a tough time for entertainers having to change there whole show to fit in with guidelines and have to remove a lot of magic due to the pandemic, banter is a part of any show and of course it's not for all we do hope to see you again when we go back to normal and we can fit in more magic when we are allowed to.

Really enjoyed the comedy and magic show! There was a lot of audience participation and 3/4 of my group was on stage during the show which was a blast. The illusions were high quality and very entertaining. There was a lot to laugh at as well.

My wife and I booked to tickets through Groupon, we had a couple of prossecos and margarita pizza 🍕. We arrived at 5.30pm, were promptly seated by a very gracious host who was very kind and friendly. We had our pizza before the magic and comedy show. It was excellent, cheese wasn't greasy but balanced well with its herbs and the dough base was crunchy and light.

There's a table "buzzer" system and we accidently clicked twice but they were right over, we asked for a couple more prossecos for then and the interval but the lady made a great suggestion of just having a bottle. We took the bottle, it came with a lovely cooler. We also ordered chips for the show interval.

6.30pm The show had a very charismatic and talented magician and comedian. He often didn't just do excellent and mind boggling tricks, he was very good at misdirection so when you thought a trick was going wrong he blows your mind by making it part of the act.

He was also very inclusive of the audience which is great, especially in these hard times as people like some involvement. We had the chips at the interval, they were great too. His show turned up the mastery and mystery to 11 and we left the show tipsy, well fed and dazzled by a great show.

First experience of quality entertainment, service and drink in one night in a long time. Thank you for making our evening so special and we hope to come back soon.

I’ve visited the Smoke and Mirrors pub a couple of times as I’ve always enjoyed the live music and great atmosphere but never have seen the show.

Let’s face it, we could all do with a sprinkle of normality and a laugh these days with the 18 months we’ve all had. So I booked these tickets for me and my partner even though we weren’t sure what to expect.

I’m so glad we went for it because it was fantastic, the first act was a cocktail of impressive magic and stand up comedy and plenty of audience engagement. The second act although not as humorous did some mind blowing magic and left everyone uplifted.

In regards to safety and covid, it all felt very well organised. You’re seated at your own table whilst you wait with table service for drinks, then taken into the show table by table so there’s no queuing or crowds.

Thank you for a night out we really needed, we will be booking again and bringing our friends!

The show we saw was with Paul and after an initial scepticism about it potentially being of good quality - we were blown away with the humour and magic. He was a brilliant showman and magician, very funny and certainly provided some surprising magic tricks that left us truly baffled. The venue is small but it is intimate and makes the experience more personal and you feel involved in the show which is more entertaining. We booked onto a 9pm show that had to be moved to a 7pm showing and we were compensated with an extra glass of prosecco for the inconvenience of adjusting our travel arrangements last minute. The pizza was delicious. The only things to mention are - the pizza needs to be ready on time for the interval as it was a bit difficult to cut/eat during the 2nd part of the show. Also, we could have done with a table as it was tricky to juggle glasses and pizza boards to cut pizza without a table - however I think this was due to being moved to the 7pm show last minute as many other guests had tables. Overall I would highly recommend this place as a fun and different evening out. I will definitely be booking to attend again.

A brilliant night out from the moment we arrived to the moment that we left we felt very at ease, the staff were all very welcoming, very well organised, no waiting for ages for drinks, got served straight away every time, Chris the table magician was brilliant, I watched him like a hawk and I couldn't see how he done the tricks - he was very funny too. The main show comedy magician was Richard and he was fantastic, included virtually everybody, made everybody feel at ease, was very funny and his style of magic was astounding. Would definitely visit again and I guess from the smiles on the faces from all the other guests most would feel the same way.

A fantastic venue with bags of personality, and a brilliantly unique show. I was particularly impressed at how polite and professional all the staff were, and the great idea for table magic to happen while waiting for the show.

The venue was lovely and intimate, however it would be good if you could install some coat hooks on the wall as we had to sit and squash our coats (which everyone has in winter!). There was a real cabaret atmosphere.

The main act, Dan, was warm and funny, and really engaged the audience, however some of the act pieces went a little too fast for me to appreciate the skill involved - this is the first time we're seeing the tricks, so savour them! There was a good variety of card magic, slight of hand, prediction magic and lovely silliness. The time went by so fast!

I'm pleased to see the strong stance the club has on stag/hen dos and drunks, however I'd like to have seen the rowdy lady at the back dealt with more firmly as she was dominating the show for everyone, towards the end. Also, if there's any way to dampen the noise from the audience waiting for the next show, that'd be a plus.

Overall a fantastic night out in a unique venue - we'll be back!

Yet again outstanding experience , from the moment we entered the premises the staff were brilliant , friendly, professional and they made the experience smooth and pleasurable.
The table magician had us in awe .
The magician for this show was the great and had the audience in stitches with his humour and captivated with his magic skills .
We’ve now been a number of times , taken guests and in lockdown streamed Mark Bennett’s shows .
It just gets better
