Now and at the Hour by Christian Cagigal

In his new solo show, Cagigal takes you on a journey through Time and Reflection. No flash, no frills, Now and at the Hour is an intimate and deeply personal story about growing up and becoming a "grown-up".
Not a mere series of tricks, "Now and at the Hour" weaves magic, mind reading, story telling and theatre into an intimate, interactive and altogether unnerving magical experience. Christian Cagigal is among a new crop of illusionists and theatre artists that dares to go beyond the usual bag of tricks and bring you into a world of darkness, mystery and imagination. His work doesn't attempt to "Blow your brain" or "Freak your mind", but slowly seep into your subconscious until you have to ask the question, "This isn't real is it?"

Asked who the show is geared for, Cagigal replies, "It's for believers, skeptics, those who hate magic shows, and those who hate theatre. There is nothing inappropriate for children at all but this will not be a 'kids'' magic show."
