Lionsgate, in collaboration with Tim Lawson & Simon Painter (The Illusionists), are delighted to announce that internationally acclaimed magician and 2025 Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Eden Choi* joins the stage illusion spectacular NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE as special guest act. The show runs at the London Coliseum for 5 weeks only from Friday 31 July to Sunday 6 September 2026.

Tickets are on sale now.

Eden Choi is a magician and next-generation manipulation artist from South Korea known for blending magic with music through precise rhythm and refined visual storytelling. Emerging as one of the most distinctive young performers in contemporary magic, Choi has built an international reputation through competition success, television appearances, and original theatrical productions.

 

 

In 2025, Eden gained widespread recognition on Britain’s Got Talent (Series 18), where he reached the semi-finals, followed by a standout appearance on France’s Got Talent (Season 20), earning the Golden Buzzer and finishing in the Top 3. He was also a finalist on South Korea’s televised magician audition program The Magic Star in 2024, further establishing his presence on major broadcast platforms.

Choi’s technical excellence has been recognised at the highest levels of the magic community. He won 2nd place in Manipulation at the 2022 FISM World Championship, one of the most prestigious competitions in magic. His additional accolades include 1st prize at the 2023 SIMF and multiple wins at the 2021 BIMF.

Alongside his competition and television work, Choi has developed original solo productions. His 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Proust Effect received critical attention and earned him a Male Performer Award. He continues to expand his theatrical presence with international productions, including his 2026 one-man show in Guatemala.

 

 

Eden joins the previously announced “The Horsemen”: internationally acclaimed illusion designer and performer, Enzo Weyne**; one of the world’s leading escapologists, Andrew Basso; a dynamic rising star of modern magic, Gabriella Lester; and award-winning British magician and master storyteller, Matthew Pomeroy.

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE, inspired by Lionsgate’s worldwide blockbuster franchise, Now You See Me, will bring the magic to life with a mix of high-tech illusions, solo stunts, and jaw-dropping spectacles.

A world-class magic ensemble inspired by the film’s characters, “The Horsemen” will stun audiences in a showcase of unmatched synergy. Assembling from around the globe, they will bring an unbelievable arsenal of solo skills, shocking twists and grand feats of illusion to London this summer.

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE has been dazzling audiences across Australia and Singapore, playing to packed houses – including a completely sold-out run at the Sydney Opera House.

Critics at The Sydney Morning Herald called it “a mind-blowing spectacle of illusion and storytelling,” while Broadway World said, “your jaw will hit the floor…a high-energy blend of wonder, humour and jaw-dropping illusions,” cementing its status as a must-see event.

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE is brought to the stage by Simon Painter and Adam Trent, with creative and stage direction by Ash Jacks, co-creative direction by Kirsty White and illusion direction by Enzo Weyne. It is produced by Simon Painter, Tim Lawson, Runaway Entertainment, BOS Productions, and Timothy Laczynski, by arrangement with Lionsgate.

 

 

The Now You See Me film franchise was produced by Lionsgate and earned $929 million at the global box office. The franchise is based on characters created by Boaz Yakin & Edward Ricourt and includes two hit films and a third instalment, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which premiered in theatres last November. The film was directed by Ruben Fleischer, with a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick, and Rhett Reese, and based on a story by Eric Warren Singer.

*Eden Choi will not be performing on 28, 29 or 30 August
Enzo Weyne is currently scheduled to perform until 10 August only.
