The show was kicked off on Valentine's Day by young magician Cillian O Connor, who displayed an amazing display of card tricks and personal stories, including how his favourite hobby has helped him cope with the challenges of having autism.
After the weekend, the audience was treated to a nerve-wracking act by internationally famous escapologist Andrew Basso, who performed one of Houdini’s best-known escapes.
