And for their next trick, Lionsgate will transform the *Now You See Me* film series into a spellbinding stage show. Set to cast its magic over London this summer, *Now You See Me Live* will have a strictly limited five-week run at the [London Coliseum](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/london-coliseum-london) from 31 July to 6 September.
Inspired by the smash-hit Now You See Me franchise starring **Jesse Eisenberg**, this ambitious stage production brings the slick, high-stakes world of big-screen illusion to the stage. At the heart of the show is a world-class ensemble of magicians, modelled on the iconic “Four Horsemen.”
Audiences can expect a fast-paced spectacle that blends cutting-edge technology with classic showmanship. From high-tech illusions to daring solo stunts and large-scale set pieces, the production promises to deliver the kind of jaw-dropping moments typically reserved for cinema, only this time, there will be no camera trickery, it’ll happen live, right in front of your eyes.
Creative Producer **Simon Painter** has described the production as a “game-changer for live magic, designed to stretch the boundaries of illusion and create moments that feel truly impossible”. His vision is brought to life by a team of leading creatives: **Adam Trent** (Co-Creator), **Tim Lawson** (Executive Producer), **Ash Jacks McCready** (Creative Director & Staging Director), **Kirsty White** (Creative Director), and **Enzo Wenye** (Illusion Director).
With its cinematic origins, critically acclaimed runs in Australia and Singapore, and a creative team at the top of their game, Now You See Me Live is a treat full of world-class tricks.
