The play centers on a hapless gang of magicians presenting a charity event. As the accidents spiral out of control, so does their fundraising target.

Magic Goes Wrong is written by Penn Jillette and Teller, along with Mischief’s Lewis, Sayer, and Shields.

A third residency production will be announced later. Magic Goes Wrong is produced in the West End by Kenny Wax Ltd, Stage Presence Ltd, along with Kevin McCollum and J.J. Abrams—who ushered The Play That Goes Wrong to Broadway.
