Griffin and Jones are The Pioneers of Slapdash Magic! What does that mean? Well… These award-winning idiots have been touring the UK, wowing audiences with their own brand of homemade miracles since 2011. Fusing razor sharp, ‘machine-gun patter’, a uniquely bizarre and irreverent sense of humour, a joyously inclusive party atmosphere, and some of the most impressive, impossible magic you are likely to see, an evening in the company of these surprisingly good magicians is one you are not likely to forget in a hurry! Whether playfully coercing you into playing one of their ridiculous games, demonstrating one of their harebrained inventions, or trying to flog your their own brand of miracle snake-oil, the energy remains high, the laughs come thick and fast, and the magic is thoroughly jaw-dropping. Thanks for watching.
