FRESH from their historic success as the first African duo to fool Penn and Teller on Fool Us, magicians, Brendon Peel and Li Lau return to Centrestage@Baywest with their spectacular show, VIVA! A Vegas Magic Show.
Catch this electrifying performance on Friday, March 14, at 19:30, with a special family matinée on Saturday, March 15, at 14:30.
Expect a dazzling blend of Vegas flair and Eastern Cape creativity.
The duo promises a show “bigger, riskier, and more interactive” than their appearances on Britain’s Got Talent.
“Performing VIVA! in Gqeberha is surreal,” said Peel.
“This is where Li and I first met, honing our craft in local venues. Now, we’re bringing Vegas-level spectacle back to the community that shaped us.”
Li Lau added, “Performing here is terrifying – in the best way. If our escapes work for Eastern Cape crowds, they’ll kill in Vegas! A lot of what we do is uninsurable in Vegas.
“Here, we’re pushing boundaries – like our straitjacket escape over broken glass.”
Highlights include Peel’s AI-powered predictions, a daring fire-and-knife escape by Lau, and interactive comedy with illusions shaped by audiences worldwide. The family-friendly matinee adds kid-centric surprises.
“This isn’t just a show—it’s a love letter to Gqeberha. We’re blending Zulu divination symbols with Vegas tech.
Audiences here will shape the act before it hits Nevada!” Peel concluded.
Tickets start at R150, offering a chance to see world-class magic at spellbinding prices.
Book through Wendy on 083 225 5401 or through Quicket.
