Description
Step inside The Unseen Room — Manchester’s most immersive evening of magic and live jazz. Hidden in the heart of the Northern Quarter and inspired by the elegance of a bygone era, this monthly event fuses timeless jazz with some of the most captivating modern magic performed today.
Across the night, you’ll witness three extraordinary magicians, each with a distinct style — from deft sleight of hand to incredible psychological feats. Every act is accompanied by a live jazz band, who set the tone throughout the interval and play on long after the final applause.
The show is highly interactive, with plenty of audience participation — so who knows, you might just become the star of the night.
The show runs for around 90 minutes, including a short interval, and features a unique guest act with each show — ensuring no two evenings are ever quite the same.
