Chris Dinwoodie is a five-time Scottish magic champion. What sets him apart from other magicians is his highly improvised sense of humour and audience interactions. However, it hasn’t always been plain sailing. Along the way, things have gone wrong. In this show, not only will he be amazing you with his magical skills, he’ll be confessing some of the most embarrassing and hilarious anecdotes of when things went horribly wrong.
