Mind Mangler: A Night of Tragic Illusion

Mind Mangler: A Night of Tragic Illusion is a new parody from the creators of  The Play That Goes Wrong—this time aimed at magicians. The production is about the relationship between a magician and his stooge, played by Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer respectively, who cowrote this show as well as Play That Goes Wrong with Henry Shields.
