Unlocking Sherlock
Theatre & Dance
World Premiere

Step into the mind of Sherlock Holmes.

 Master magician Caolan McBride reveals the striking connections between deduction and deception. Through sleight of hand, mind reading, and psychological illusion, Holmes’ legendary methods unfold before your eyes—but you hold the key to how the mystery evolves.

As the lines blur between magician and detective, one question lingers: What is the cost of such extraordinary skill?

Unlock the mystery. Witness the impossible. Experience Sherlock Holmes like never before.

Like the greatest magicians, the greatest detectives often see what others might miss. As in most cases however, all will not be what it seems! Audiences can prepare to have their perceptions challenged as we prove that the impossible is nothing more than a well-constructed puzzle. Together we’ll unlock the secrets of Sherlock’s mind, and perhaps, your own! But remember, the greatest deductions are often… the greatest deceptions!
