Charlie Caper – The Future

Multi-award winning magician and robotics expert Charlie Caper unveils a never-before-seen spectacle where artificial intelligence and magic collide.

This world premiere features world class magic and an extraordinary mechanical ensemble, including a state-of-the-art mechatronic dog straight out of Black Mirror, Bob – an advanced AI research social robot, and an eccentric cast of custom-built automatons. Together they push the boundaries of both magic and technology. Watch in amazement as thoughts become surreal landscapes, the First Law of Thermodynamics takes a nap, and robots wonder how much you have to think to therefore be.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C Clarke

Following three consecutive shows that all won awards at both Fringe World and Adelaide Fringe, Caper returns to Edinburgh with this revolutionary production. The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed. What happens when mechatronic hearts start beating, and the line between artificial and authentic blurs?

“There are some rare gems on the Edinburgh Fringe and the multi-talented, Swedish magician Charlie Caper shines out among them.”
– The Edinburgh Reporter (review of “Magical”)

“A master of illusion”, “A clear genius”
– The Advertiser (review of “Magical”)

“an experience that leaves you thoroughly amazed, even if you think you’ve seen it all.”
– FiveAA (review of “Robotricks”)

Charlie Caper – The Future runs in the Piccolo in Assembly Gardens from July 30 to August 24. Tickets can be found here:
