Dr. Gore and The Great Hoodunit.
Madness and Magic

07775 565368
Dr Gore and The Great Hoodunit are a pair of magicians, both performed by the indomitable Roger Tann. He has been performing magic for a number of years and is also an accomplished close-up magician and juggler, with a long list of performances including a debut in the semi-finals of "Britain's Got Talent." He holds full Equity membership, is fully insured and his brand of delightfully horrific magic is already making a great hit on the club scene.
Juggling, close-up magic and rapid-fire delivery are performed by The Great Hoodunit, while his arch-nemesis Dr Gore provides a twisted horror magic show involves audience participation, power tools and lashings of blood, with a great sense of humour and his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Or sometimes in jars.

Simon Cowell : "It's like a weird porno movie..."
Amanda Holden : "...like a bad episode of Casualty..."
Pierce Morgan : "...you truly are a sick individual."

What higher praise can be given to the likes of Dr Gore?
