El Mistico is mystical; magic trickery, mind reading and mesmerising hypnosis in one show!
Imagine you're heading towards the Playhouse with your friends. You're all chatting away excited to 
see El Mistico, the hypnotist and magician show, you’re looking forward to being amazed and 
wondering who from your group will volunteer. It's a night you've been looking forward to; a night 
you're intrigued about and a night where you know you're going to wonder "how does he do that". 
You're about to experience something that you have never experienced before.
As you take your seats, your best friend who has been talking about tonight for weeks, announces that 
she’s going to volunteer, she has always been curious about hypnosis.
Award winning, Magic Circle member, Magician and Mind Reader Angus Baskerville opens the show as 
he takes to the stage. Immediately you relax as he performs magic trickery right in front of your eyes 
and accurately reads the minds of his chosen volunteers... "how does he do that". As he reveals his 
finale, he takes a bow as the audience applaud and your heart races as you realise it’s nearly time for 
the main event.
During the interval, there's heightened excitement and overheard words from other audience 
members... "I'm absolutely getting up on stage", "I've never been hypnotised before, I'd love to 
experience it", "we'll watch you from our seats and video you" and "did you watch the video of him, if 
it's anything like that tonight, we're going to have an amazing time".
As the lights dim for the second time, you sit back and relax into your seat. The music starts, the 
intensity increases and the anticipation feels electric. The curtains open and Poldark, International 
Cabaret and Master Stage Hypnotist appears and welcomes the audience into his hypnotic world. As 
the music fades, he speaks to everyone and seizes your attention. Asking for volunteers to join him, 
your best friend takes a seat on the stage. Twenty or so volunteers are ready to be a part of something 
special.
Over the next two hours, Poldark expertly hypnotises his volunteers into a trance making them the 
stars of the show, as they entertain you, members of the audience. There are many moments of 
laughter; your best friend frantically searches for an imaginary puppy that has escaped from her arms 
convinced it’s hiding under chairs or behind curtains; she also believes she has won £5million on the 
lottery and runs over to celebrate with you telling you she’s going to spend it on shoes and a yacht; 
and strangers get drunk on water at the imaginary bar.
Not only lots of comedy, there was so much more which is unexplainable; there’s genuine moments of 
amazement and wonder, which you are struggling to understand and that last act, “wow, how does he 
do that”.
