Tom Cassani / Iterations
Iterations centres Cassani’s obsession with the skill and precision of sleight of hand magic. It invites us to consider the performance of the seemingly impossible. Through deconstructed routines and text that re-imagines the aesthetic tropes of magic, we are offered time to reflect and re-interpret. This exposé of the practising magician explores how impossibilities emerge through repetition, actions, gestures and self-reflection. See how placing a coin into a pocket becomes a lifetime's work. Learn how hard it really is, to do something impossible so effortlessly.
“The precision of Cassani’s gestures, his dextrous sleight-of-hand, along with a well-honed sense of physical and comedic timing, illustrate an enviable bodily control. But it is the storytelling, spontaneous interactions and intelligent use of theatrical techniques that sets this work apart.”

Norvil & Josephine
Fresh back from their star-studded Edinburgh Fringe debut, Norvil & Josephine are a dazzling comedy magic and variety act full of theatrical escapism at its best. They seem to be the traditional imposing magician and doting assistant… but magic is never what meets the eye!
The classic notion of a Vaudeville act gets flipped on its head in their show full of comical gender bending twists and turns. It’s time for the magician to find new dreams while the assistant calls the shots!
Norvil and Josephine have appeared at The Wintergarten in Berlin, The Magic Castle in Hollywood, Leeds City Varieties and in theatres up and down the country.
