Why Magic?

About the event

How does someone become a magician?

Attempting to answer this question, WHY MAGIC? is a spellbinding tale of self-discovery filled with astonishing interactive and visual magic.

Based on experiences from Daniel’s own life, WHY MAGIC? is a one-man play that tells the story of a young boy who always struggled to fit in. One evening after witnessing magician Paul Daniels on television, everything changes. He discovers the world of magic, a world that gives him a form of confidence that nothing else ever did. But how does he navigate this world? And how can he manifest his dream into a reality?

Premiering at The National Theatre of Iceland and having received the award for BEST STORYTELLING at Reykjavík Fringe Festival 2025, WHY MAGIC? blends theatre and magic into an unforgettable play of passion and determination, coupled with jaw-dropping visual and psychological magic that will leave you in utter disbelief!
