Christmas Conjured: A Magical Evening at The Magicians Table

An immersive Christmas party experience unlike anything in London.

PART SHOW, PART PARTY AND ALL WONDER.

Dieter’s Theatre, nestled in The Vaults in Waterloo, stands as a prime destination for those seeking an exhilarating experience filled with world-class magic performances. 

As the showtime draws near, the venue pulses with vibrancy, drawing in a diverse crowd excited to witness some of the finest magicians in the world display their skills. The atmosphere is alive, creating a buzzing and welcoming pre-show environment. Guests not only enjoy the magic but are also part of an intimate gathering where the lines between artists and audience blur.

This  year it opens its doors for the corporate events market, offering an unforgettable night of cocktails, close-up illusion, theatrical storytelling and live music, all wrapped in one of London’s most original experiences.

A Magical Tribute Like No Other

Step into the world of Dieter Roterburg, a famed carnival showman, magician and eccentric collector. You’re invited to his final farewell with a tribute unlike any other, curated and scripted by the man himself.

Hosted by his enigmatic widow, Calliope, and featuring a cast of world-class magicians from across the globe, The Magicians Table concept combines immersive theatre, spellbinding performances and rich storytelling in a warmly-lit warehouse full of atmosphere and wonder.

Written by BAFTA and Olivier Award-winner Iain Sharkey (best known for Derren Brown’s live shows), this event masterfully blurs the lines between audience and performer, creating a festive night of joy, amazement and togetherness.

The Evening Unfolds Like Magic

THE SPELL IS CAST AND THE ILLUSION BEGINS

Guests arrive beneath the arches of Waterloo, slipping into the hidden world of The Vaults, where mysterious hosts await to welcome them inside. Whisper the password to gain entry and you’ll be welcomed with a handcrafted cocktail and a token for the night ahead, with the first hint that this is no ordinary corporate celebration.

Step inside Dieter’s Theatre, now transformed into a beautifully themed, vintage theatre, filled with curiosity cabinets, carnival relics and velvet-draped corners. It’s here the magic begins, as illusionists roam the bar performing sleight-of-hand and mind-reading just inches from your glass. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as you mingle with colleagues . . . and the unexpected.

A SEAT AT THE MAGICIANS TABLE

Once coats are checked and cocktails served, guests are invited to explore the vintage theatre bar, where festive drinks flow, seasonal bites served and atmospheric background music setting the scene.

After a round of mingling and a spellbinding encounter with roaming magicians, who perform impossibly close, transforming small moments into unforgettable ones, you’ll take your seat at one of ten hand-crafted tables in a cabaret-style layout ensuring every guest has a front-row view.

Here the real magic begins.

Dieter’s Final Performance

As glasses are topped up and the evening advances, Calliope, Dieter’s enigmatic widow, takes centre stage to guide you through a heartfelt,  humorous and at times unsettling tribute to her late husband.

Throughout the evening, four different magicians will visit your table, each with a distinctive style, from quickfire comedy and cheeky charm to slow, spine-tingling silence. Every moment is intimate, engaging and designed to draw you into Dieter’s strange and mesmerising world.

No cameras. No stage barriers. Just world-class magic happening right before your eyes.

This theatrical finale features stunning illusions, live music and a few surprises from beyond the grave. It’s immersive, emotional and unlike anything else you’ll experience this Christmas.

THE LAST ACT
But the night doesn’t end there. Our accordionist Ellis (your musical host throughout the evening) joins the resident DJ to take the party up a gear. As the magic fades, the dance floor beckons. Drinks keep flowing, the lights lower and it’s your turn to conjure some festive magical moves.
