Enter Mr. Barnard as a beautifully attired Victorian gent with an array of amazing tricks, including orange juggling and spinning Christmas puddings. There is plenty of audience participation and a little bit of Dickens quotation in this right rib-tickler of a show.  Don't be a curmudgeon, enjoy the wonder and consternation and fulfill all your great expectations.

Period Prestidigitation can also be booked alongside Mr Barnard’s Victorian Circus Workshop, so audiences can really get stuck in and be taught by a master circus artist!

South Norfolk Council have confirmed that around 4,500 people attended the event and rated the Period Prestidigitation performance by Matt as an ‘Excellent’ in every respect.’

Matt was excellent – lovely to work with and very professional – and drew a great crowd
