It’s pretty, but is it art? This is a show about trickery. About fraud. About lies.

Magician and storyteller Chris Cook weaves a true tale of deception, where lives across centuries are bound together by illusion. Through magic, comedy and storytelling, Chris shares the story of a faker so skilled he had to forge his way to freedom, an artist so talented he may himself be a fraud, a magician whose promise conceals a lie, and a mysterious figure who may not exist at all.

This is a story only a magician could tell.

★★★★★ — Edinburgh Reviews
Chris Cook has crafted a thought-provoking and clever performance that is both educational and thrilling.

★★★★★ — World Magic Review
For a bit of magic, a bit of storytelling, and a lot of heart, Fake is the show to see.

★★★★★ — The Student

It is a true joy to watch a show that is funny and smart and self-aware as Fake undeniably is, but takes this one step further – it aims to be truly, genuinely hopeful.
