Fringe Review 2022 for your appraisal folks come along and see real magic as close as you can get. Tickets available only via the Buxton Opera House.

The High Peak Magic Circle, out for their first big show for four years, made their Fringe debut with this literally marvellous event. Thoroughly professional in every way; Neil Fletcher’s organisation and calm stewardship of the evening; Andy Hall’s unflustered work as compere dealing with less than perfect acoustics; and of course…the brilliant magician/mentalist team.

The event was superbly organised so that everyone in the audience was seated at a table and received ten-minute visits by the magicians in turn. Timing was immaculate, every performer working hard to ensure the slot was completed in the allotted time – well done guys (and gal!) – dealing with the time pressure as well as the close-up scrutiny of the act itself was no mean feat – but they pulled it off without exception and this undoubtedly contributed to the enjoyment of the evening. There was something for everyone – a bit of light leg-pulling, gags galore and banter and prizes for the kids – genuinely a safe family event.

And so to the magic. It’s hard to say how many times one asked oneself, “How did they do that?” How exactly do you get a signed £20 note into an unopened tin of pineapple chunks? The acts were truly remarkable and without exception the delivery was slick and confident, the accompanying chat unfailingly amusing and often laugh-out-loud and the entertainment factor set to max. Lots of sleight of hand card tricks; mystical things with ropes; the bending of coins and forks; large stones appearing in shoes; watches disappearing; rings reappearing - in a locked box alongside a mummified finger (ha ha, why not?); very clever things with a Rubik cube - toss two in the air and they come down solved…whaaat?

Not to forget the mentalism - brilliantly demonstrated by the only female member of the team, Kay Dyson. A remarkable act in which a random name was written on a card by a member of the audience, the card stored away unseen and then the interview with Kay carefully scrutinising the face of the audience member. The name is stated, and the card revealed from its secure place - tense moment - but name correct. Mentalism, a trick – whatever - like all the acts, wonderous, captivating and thoroughly enjoyable. A great piece of theatre.

Magic and More

Some of the most intriguing offerings at this year’s Fringe can be found in the ever-intriguing And More magic section of the programme.

There are no less than three magic shows in the Fringe’s And More…magic section. The ever popular High Peak Magic Circle offers stunning table magic in the Octagon in the Pavilion Gardens. Legendary magician the The Great Baldini introduces us to the dark arts of the ILLUSIONATI - elite magicians controlling the world - in his Pump Room show and over at the The Rotunda Theatre is a chance to see amazing Magic & Mentalism from Caspar Thomas.

At the The Green Man Gallery, French artist Yvette Ribot-Smith offers a mixed-media performance including the display of 16 oil paintings as well as dance, spoken word, piano and song as she explores challenging social issues in novel ways.

Buxton Pride Picnic is back as Stone and Water celebrates the LGBTQ+ community with cakes, games and frivolity in the Pavilion Gardens. Meanwhile over in Chelmorton there is an entire week-long festival featuring Sunday cream teas, a ceilidh, dog show and more.

It is always a good moment to enjoy a Fringe Beer courtesy of Buxton Brewery Company with 20p from every pint going to the Fringe. For an insight into the history of Buxton Pubs, Julian Cohen, author of a new book on the subject, will be in conversation with Simon Fussell of Buxton Civic Association at Buxton Brewery Tap House & Cellar Bar

Says Fringe Chair Stephen Walker: “The magic And More section always offers delightful surprises as Fringe shows defy categorisation and find new ways to entertain and stimulate us.”
