'This Is Not A Magic Show' is a work of theatre-magic in which playing cards transform and silver coins appear, while our perception of reality shatters. It is created and performed by artist Vincent Gambini, the pseudonym of Brighton-based performance maker Augusto Corrieri. Through conversational, crafted sleight-of-hand, he questions the show itself and explores magic's invisible mechanics, its clichés, and what it reveals about live performance and make-believe.
