If you have ever watched the Now You See Me films and wondered what it would feel like to witness that kind of illusion in real life, 2026 is your moment. From 20 February to 8 March 2026, Now You See Me Live makes its Asia premiere at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, inviting you and your loved ones into a world where perception bends, certainty dissolves and nothing is quite as it seems.
Magic Steps Off the Screen and Onto the Stage
Inspired by Lionsgate’s global film franchise, Now You See Me Live is not a retelling of the movie but an entirely new theatrical spectacle. Created by the producers behind The Illusionists, the show brings together four elite magicians known collectively as the Four Horsemen. Each takes the stage with their own signature style, combining daring escapes, psychological illusion and sleight of hand that unfolds right before your eyes.
The result is a performance that feels fast, surprising and immersive. Tricks happen in plain sight, yet leave you questioning how they were ever possible. It is theatre designed to keep you leaning forward in your seat, alert to every movement, every gesture, every blink.
Meet the Four Horsemen of Modern Magic
This international line up brings together some of the most exciting names in contemporary magic. Andrew Basso from Italy is known for death defying escape acts and holds the title of World Escape Champion. Gabriella Lester from Canada brings razor sharp wit and technical mastery, having perfected Houdini’s upside down straight jacket escape at just fourteen. Matthew Pomeray from the United Kingdom blends technology with sleight of hand to create illusions that feel almost cinematic. From Spain, Pablo Cánovas brings a poetic style of magic that has earned him international accolades and a reputation as an heir to classical illusion.
Together, they have performed thousands of shows across the world, from Broadway to Las Vegas, and now bring their combined energy and expertise to Singapore for a limited season.
A Show That Refuses to Sit Still
Now You See Me Live is structured as a series of solo acts woven into a larger theatrical experience. Each illusion builds momentum, shifting between humour, suspense and moments of collective disbelief. Grand scale set pieces sit alongside intimate illusions, creating a rhythm that keeps the evening dynamic and unpredictable.
The staging and direction are designed to draw you into the performance rather than keep magic at a distance. You are not simply watching tricks unfold. You are part of the atmosphere where the impossible feels tantalisingly close.
Why This Experience Feels Different
Unlike traditional magic shows that focus on spectacle alone, Now You See Me Live leans into storytelling and theatricality. It plays with your expectations, challenges assumptions and celebrates the joy of being fooled. There is a sense of play throughout the show, a reminder that wonder does not need an explanation to be meaningful.
In an age where everything feels instantly searchable, this is one of the rare experiences that asks you to sit with mystery and simply enjoy not knowing.

Now You See Me Live is not about revealing secrets. It is about celebrating illusion, misdirection and the thrill of uncertainty. For you and your loved ones, it offers an evening where logic takes a back seat and imagination leads the way. When the Four Horsemen arrive in Singapore in 2026, expect a night that leaves you smiling, surprised and still questioning what you just witnessed long after the curtain falls.
