WHY MAGIC?
Written and Performed by Daniel Cremin

​How does someone become a magician?

WHY MAGIC? is a spellbinding tale of self-discovery filled with astonishing interactive magic.  

Based on experiences from Daniel’s own life, WHY MAGIC? is a one-man play that tells the story of a young boy who always struggled to fit in. One evening after witnessing magician Paul Daniels on television, everything changes. He discovers the world of magic, a world that gives him a form of confidence that nothing else ever did. But how does he navigate this world? And how can he manifest his dream into a reality?
