BLACKPOOL GRAND THEATRE SET TO VANISH REALITY FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY WITH BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT MAGIC STARS JAY & JOSS
Britain’s Got Talent illusionists Jay & Joss bring jaw-dropping new show IT’S NOT A GAME to Blackpool Grand Theatre
Reality is overrated. This summer, families are invited to step out of the everyday and into a world where nothing is quite as it seems, as award-winning illusionists Jay & Joss bring their sensational new show IT’S NOT A GAME to Blackpool Grand Theatre on Wednesday 8 July at 7.30pm.
Fresh from wowing millions on Britain’s Got Talent and stunning audiences on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Jay & Joss have built a reputation for high-impact illusion, breathless theatricality and the kind of impossible moments that leave audiences asking: “How did they do that?”
Now, the acclaimed magic duo is back with a brand-new live experience that promises to bend the rules, blur the line between truth and trickery, and remind audiences of the pure thrill of not knowing what could happen next.
IT’S NOT A GAME invites audiences into a dazzling world of suspense, spectacle and surprise, where reality begins to dissolve, danger feels deliciously close, and every illusion raises the stakes. Expect jaw-dropping stunts, breathtaking visuals and moments that appear to defy belief, as Jay & Joss turn an ordinary mid-week evening into something extraordinary.
Known to millions as “the boys who made Simon Cowell believe in magic”, the duo became a standout hit with viewers and judges alike on Britain’s Got Talent, capturing the nation’s imagination with their slick style, dramatic flair and impossible illusions. Since then, they have continued to thrill audiences across the world, earning praise as “spectacular” by Entertainment Daily and “awe-inspiring” by OK! Magazine.
This is a show made for the big stage and the biggest reactions: gasps, cheers, laughter, disbelief and that rare family-theatre feeling where everyone, from children to grandparents, is leaning forward at the same time, desperate to see what happens next.
Andrew Howard, Head of Audiences, Marketing and Sales at Blackpool Grand Theatre, said: “Jay and Joss are exactly the kind of act that reminds you why live entertainment is so thrilling. They don’t just perform tricks; they build a world where the impossible suddenly feels close enough to touch. That Britain’s Got Talent excitement, the gasp-out-loud moments, the feeling that anything could happen right in front of you - this show has all of that, and it’s a brilliant chance for families to experience something spectacular together at Blackpool Grand.
“With a family ticket for four at just £49, It’s Not A Game is a fantastic mid-week treat, but it also feels like something much bigger: a night to switch off real life, lean into the mystery and let two extraordinary illusionists remind us all what it feels like to believe in magic.”
With tickets starting from just £18, and a fantastic Family Ticket for four people at only £49, IT’S NOT A GAME is the perfect mid-week treat for families looking for something exciting, affordable and completely unforgettable.
