Tim Motley hosts a charming magic show heavily influenced by, well, you can probably guess. Barry Potter And The Magic of Wizardry is jam-packed with conjuring tricks performed together with countless jokes and puns about the famous boy wizard and his cohorts. It’s a family show with broad appeal to young and old, the latter in particular catered for by some seriously impressive psychological routines.

The audience is frequently invited to join in, and Motley strikes a nice balance with his temporary assistants; gently teasing the adults and cajoling his more junior apprentices, while gamely implying that they too are in control of magical powers. There’s an endearing simplicity to the staging and most of his gags are firmly ‘dad joke’ fare, but it’s a well-constructed hour of playful magic featuring some impressive tricks, all neatly wrapped up with a startling finale. 

Barry Potter And The Magic Of Wizardry, TheSpace @ Symposium Hall, until 26 August, 6.05pm.
