Vincent Gambini / Close-up
Is this a film set, or real life?
Join critically acclaimed magician Vincent Gambini at a café table for 15 minutes, and watch as playing cards transform inexplicably and sugar cubes vanish without a trace. Combining expert sleight-of-hand magic with the dreamlike nature of cinema, Close-up invites you to briefly reimagine everyday life as an uncanny illusion.
Slots available from 10AM to 4PM on both days.
