Berlin Illusions - The Capital's Magic Show

Ben Blu's "Hauptstadt-Zaubershow" is a magic show with no card tricks whatsoever - designed specifically for his illusion theatre near the Ku'damm. The show revolves entirely around Berlin: local inventions and stories, famous landmarks, the U-Bahn and S-Bahn, the Bürgeramt, and Berliners themselves. Some of the illusions on display, Ben Blu claims, cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.

He guides the audience through a roughly 120-minute programme with wit and pace, including a 20-minute interval. The show is recommended for audiences aged 8 and up and is performed in German - a solid command of the language is therefore required.
