In “THE FAMILY MAGIC SHOW”, legendary magician the Great Baldini, and Baldwin the Magical Dog tell the story of their long partnership through a series of stage illusions, from their very first trick to the pinnacle of their careers – attempting Houdini’s greatest escape.
The Great Baldini is a magical legend, a relict of the music halls and a theatrical performer of the old school. Known the world over as ‘The Emperor of Illusion’, ‘The Prince of Prestidigitation’, and ‘The Maharajah of Mystery’, he is a hugely entertaining stage magician. Baldwin, the magical dog, is his faithful companion.
FAMILY MAGIC SHOW tells the story of their magical partnership, from their first trick to the height of their careers – attempting Houdini’s greatest and deadliest escape. The legendary magician the Great Baldini tells the story of his, and Baldwin the magical dog’s, life from their first tricks to the height of their careers – attempting Houdini’s greatest escape. The show is packed with magic, sweets, puppetry, sweets, water, sweets, eggs, sweets, and escapology. It’s hilariously silly…with sweets...it builds to the ultimate challenge – before your very eyes attempting a spectacular, death-defying piece of escape.
FAMILY MAGIC SHOW is a chance to see two magical superstars at the very pinnacle of their powers. A Joyously silly romp. Guaranteed to have children (and parents) screaming with laughter.
The Great Baldini is an award-winning member of the Magic Circle and the Bristol Stage Magic Champion.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
