“ I ’ ve been able to work out , deconstruct and rebuild every trick I ’ ve ever seen . Except this one .”
Hugo Cedar was an Edwardian magician known as “ The Vanishing Man ”; he created the perfect trick and then disappeared forever , but his story lives on … Directors and performers Simon Evans ( magical consultant to the NT , Old Vic and Donmar Warehouse , and two-time recipient of the Close Up Magician of the Year award ) and David Aula (‘ The Cement Garden ’, ‘ Personal Enemy ’, and ‘ MEAT ’), team up to create a time-hopping , misdirection-abusing , mind-bending examination of what really happens when a man , in full sight of his audience , simply ceases to be . This is the story of a magic trick : the greatest one ever performed .
