GET in the festive spirit with a special act that combines magic with comedy at The Brindley on Thursday, December 16.

Join madcap magicians Syd and Fanny as they put out an absolute 'Christmas Turkey' of a show.

Their self-styled 'magicomedy', honed at Edinburgh's famous Fringe Festival, is bound to leave you in stitches as well as awe.

The old timers serve up a feast of fantastically-named variety acts such as 'Pyramid of Death', 'Levitating Fanny', and 'Cabinet of Doom' in their over-16s show.

Tickets cost £8 adults, £6 concessions. Call The Brindley box office on 0151-907 8360.
