Magic for Socialism – Ian Saville

Magic for Socialism – Ian Saville

Introducing the genre of Socialist Magic

Children’s show

Something in My Shoe

Ian Saville’s Magic Show for Children aged four (or maybe three) to ten (and their grown-up friends)

Meet Reginald, the bravest piece of rope in show business. Thrill to the exploits of Rupert, the extraordinary teddy-rabbit escapologist. Join in with the collective creation of a fully working magic spell. Discover the perils of rising-finger illness. And find out, at last, what really is in Ian’s shoe.

…With his child-like imagination and intuitive rapport with the audience, Saville’s magic really captures the children, – low key, apparently simple tricks which they can’t quite get to the bottom of, and wonderful joining in.
The Scotsman

If you’ve never seen Ian in action with an audience you’ve missed a real treat. He never fails to entertain with a show that suits all ages, and keeps you guessing at all times.
Michael Rosen, Writer, performer, broadcaster.

“Ian has a unique talent for entertaining. His humour keeps young and old captivated. Couple this with an expertise in magic that confounds the senses, and you have a performer who is unforgettable”
Mike Dalton,
Director, Pop-up theatre for children.

Some Audience reviews from Broadway Baby

Edinburgh Fringe:

We took our 4 year old son to see the show today and he LOVED it, he found it very funny and was amazed by the magic tricks. Would recommend a visit. Tanya

Our 3 yr old niece loved the show and us adults did too. Very funny guy and how he manages to deal with a group of young kids and their ‘cooperation’ in the show is just brilliant. Colin

My 3 and 5 year olds absolutely loved this show. They were so engaged and found the performance very funny. Just the right sized venue too. Well worth a visit. Catriona
