A mind-bending mentalism show by Dylan Howells that blends magic with a ghost story in a remote village setting.
Dylan Howells brings his mentalism show Forget About Me to Theatre@41 on Wednesday 22 July. It's not a straightforward magic act; he describes it as part magic show, part ghost story, and the two halves run side by side throughout the night.

The story starts in a remote village in the Northeast, where something is lurking in the bathroom. It's something Howells struggles to remember, and something that even his dad's deadly DIY skills can't fix. Around that, he weaves together psychological illusions and fragmented memories, building a magical and slightly chilling tale of a house that won't stay still. He calls the results mind-bending mentalism and spine-tingling effects, and the whole thing is designed to blur the line between reality and fiction.
It's the kind of show that sits somewhere between a magic act and a piece of storytelling, and it's aimed at adults who enjoy magic and mystery rather than a family crowd. The Stage called Howells' design genius in their review of It's The Economy, Stupid!, so there's some weight behind the claim that this is more than just a few tricks in a row.
Forget About Me runs at Theatre@41 in York on 22 July, and tickets are available to book in advance.
