Magic show by James Phelan with new material for 2026 at MECA Swindon.
James Phelan brings his magic show, The Man Who Was Magic, to MECA Swindon on Thursday 26 November. It's a solo night with Phelan as the main feature, and the set is built around new material for 2026, so you'll be seeing things he's put together for this run rather than a repeat of what he's done before.
If you've seen him before, that's a good reason to go back — the new material means the tricks and the pacing will be different from his previous shows. If you've never caught him live, this is a straightforward way to get in. He's a magician who works the room, and The Man Who Was Magic is the title he's touring under this time around.

The show runs at MECA Swindon, which is over in Regent Circus in the town centre, postcode SN1 1QF. It's a central spot, so it's easy enough to get to whether you're coming from across town or just popping in for the evening. The start time is 6:30pm, which is a bit earlier than your usual night out, so you'll be out and about while it's still light out.
