The greatest trick Josh Staley pulled may have been to make an hour simply disappear.

This is magic for people who don’t want to sit around waiting for big set pieces. Once Staley introduces himself and takes the stage, the jokes and tricks don’t let up. In a modest venue like this, there’s no place to hide for a magician.

And Josh Staley doesn’t need one.

He’s cheerily upfront through the show: we’re being fooled, and he’s doing it right in front of our faces. It doesn’t matter - he still lands the tricks.

And they’re all impressive. He involves the audience throughout the night, getting us to play Pass the Parcel for one trick, at other times using spirit slates, and then marked cards, which turn up in seemingly impossible places. He reads minds and correctly makes predictions we don’t even know he’s made. Some tricks feature a reveal so quick the crowd needs a moment to work out what’s just happened before the applause starts.

Fool Me Once is a low-key triumph – a quirky, humour-filled show with genuine ‘what the?’ moments.
