Sleight of Sound

Part concert, part magic show, part storytelling —Sleight of Sound is a solo music-and-magic experience about wandering, wondering, and finding connection in unexpected places. Armed with an instrument, a few well-kept secrets, and a healthy sense of humour, this troubadour invites audiences on a journey where songs tell stories, stories turn magical, and moments of astonishment arrive when you least expect them.

With a passion for closeup magic, Sleight of Sound thrives on intimacy and interaction. The audience isn’t just watching—they’re listening, responding, laughing, and sometimes holding their breath together. Every performance is shaped by the room, the people in it, and the unpredictable beauty of live art.

This is not a show about perfection—it’s about presence. About standing in front of a room of strangers and, by the end of the night, feeling like you’ve shared something real.

This year we have two entry methods: Free & Unticketed or Pay What You Can
Free & Unticketed: Entry to a show is first-come, first served at the venue - just turn up and then donate to the show in the collection at the end.
