Having toured Europe to great critical success, Hoodwink arrive in Belfast to present an elaborate outdoor theatrical feast featuring flies in the soup, exploding fish, runaway puddings and a table that literally walks off in disgust. Elegance and etiquette rapidly transcend into an epic finale of custard pies, slapstick comedy, song, dance and fantastical visual theatre. Tremendous fun for all ages, this show is a fitting opener to the 2007 Festival of Fools.

Since opening the 2005 Festival of Fools with his legendary presentation of the Indian Rope Trick, Magician Ishamudin makes his return to Belfast with a brand new illusion, which has its origins in Indian mythology some 2,000 years ago. Prepare to be bewildered, mystified and delighted with this original magical feat.

First performed by Harry Houdini in New York in 1907, this thrilling escapology trick has been brought into the 21st century with a highly comical interpretation performed by two of Ireland's leading street performers.
