‘Completely F***ing Awesome.’ ★★★★ – The Skinny
Alnwick’s award-winning show ‘Nightmare Magic’ recieved rave reviews and performed sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2021-2022.
‘Alnwick has reached a point in his career where he could coast on the formidable skill set that earned him his reputation and probably still cause daily stampedes for a spot in his shows. But Nightmare Magic shows that he has instead chosen to innovate, pushing his own boundaries and the boundaries of magic as a genre.’ ★★★★★ - World Magic Review
