Bigblindmedia and Stranger Media presents Paul Zenon in Linking Rings A self-penned, semi-autobiographical theater piece marking a distinct change of direction for Paul Zenon, award-winning magician, comedian and actor who, in a career spanning four decades, has performed in around forty countries and made literally hundreds of network TV appearances. By far his most personal work to date. About the show – \’Houdini\’s right-hand man deals with the death of his boss. A half century later, a Blackpool joke shop proprietor takes on a wide-eyed young protege. An affectionate look at a misspent youth and unsung heroes.

Outstanding and unmissable.\” – Fringe Review \”Heartfelt and strikingly genuine… there\’s a warmth and charisma to Zenon\’s storytelling that just can\’t be faked.\” – The Stage \”A contemporary master of his art.\” – The Times \”Zenon\’s deceptive self-deprecation belies the precision and the sharpness of his warm wit… seeing will be believing.\” – The Guardian \”A contemporary master of his art.\” – The Times \”A love letter to a Blackpool magic shop… for magicians it is a veritable treat.\” – Magic Week \”A beautifully crafted piece. Blunt and charming… amusing and touching.\”– Evening Standard \”There\’s a rawness in his delivery, a heartfelt emotion.\” – Edinburgh Evening News \”Zenon\’s affable nature shines through this honest and charming show.
