"The Death of Dr Black": A new twist on mystery theatre

DR BLACK IS DEAD - the killer is still at large

Detective Stannard - the globally renowned magician detective - has been brought in to lead the investigation.

In what has been called the “case of the century”, the public are invited to experience the Magical Murder Mystery.

Do you have what it takes to solve Dr Black’s murder, or will you end up a suspect yourself?

Blurring the lines between magic and immersive theatre, prepare for the world’s first whodunnit-howdidtheydoit!

The Death of Dr Black is a groundbreaking Magical Murder Mystery Experience — where every night brings a different ending, and no one is ever quite who they seem.

Blending the astonishment of live magic with the thrill of immersive theatre, this bold new concept drops you into the curious world of Andrew Stannard: Magician Detective. As he unravels the enigma of Dr Black’s untimely death, one thing becomes clear — trust no one, not even the people you arrived with.

The hour-long show unfolds in two gripping acts. In Act One, Stannard uses his razor-sharp wit, sleight-of-hand, and psychological insight to interrogate a cast of key suspects. The twist? Every suspect is chosen from the audience — and each has the power to shape the investigation in real time.

In Act Two, the suspects face a final trial, where the jury is made up of their fellow audience members. The verdict? Entirely up to you. The ending? Impossible to predict — yet somehow, all the pieces fall perfectly into place.

Packed with jaw-dropping magic, unexpected comedy, and spine-tingling tension, The Death of Dr Black is a must-see for fans of live performance, murder mysteries, and the deliciously macabre.
