<br />
''Magic'' is a British play, written by [[David Haig]] and directed by [[Lucy Bailey]], performed at the ''Chichester Festival Theatre'' (Chichester, UK) from 24 april to 16 may 2026, starring [[David Haig]] as [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] and [[Hadley Fraser]] as [[Harry Houdini]].<br />
<br />
[[Harry Houdini]] is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known. [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] is the creator of literature's most brilliant detective, [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Their mutual admiration blossoms into a profound friendship, even as they discover a shared obsession with spiritualism. [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] believes fervently in the psychic world and the promise of reunion with his dead son; Houdini is determined to demonstrate it's a cruel fraud. Which of these sparring partners will be proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the infallible magician? <br />
