Seeing is beLIEving
Seeing is beLIEvingYou are deceived everyday. In fact you like to be deceived. But who deceives you the most? Yourself. All the deceiver has to do is to suggest you a story, you are the one who will narrate the rest. Introducing Daniel Hidden's new show, Seeing is beLIEving, where he will give you a glimpse into tricking the mind.Who is Daniel Hidden? Calling himself 'A Deception Artist' Daniel Hidden is an astonishing new breed of magician who is taking magic to the next level and bringing the art into the 21st Century. Inspired by the very best in the industry like Derren Brown and David Blaine, he creates his own original routines of outstanding deceptions presented by a unique and saucy showmanship. Now calling Australia home, this laid-back charismatic artist weaves a special blend of mind-blowing deceptions that include but are not limited to Mentalism, impossible feats and illusions, and razor-sharp sleight of hand. His interactive shows provide a crowd-pleasing experience that will leave you and your friends talking about the mysteries and fun for days and weeks to come. All I ask for is to bring me the most precious gift of all…. YOUR ATTENTION! So that I can use it against you. - Daniel Hidden Please note that this performance is intended for an adult audience. The performer asks that young children who may have difficulty remaining quiet and seated throughout the show do not attend. Thank you for your understanding. Presented by Daniel Hidden
