Some of the world's most death-defying stunts are to be carried out in front of audiences in Manchester.

Six of the UK's top magicians, illunsionists and stunt men have joined forces for the first show of its kind called 'Impossible'.

After a successful run on London’s West End the show's about to embark on a UK wide tour, arriving at the Palace Theatre in March.

Our Chief Reporter Michelle Livesey attended a preview of the show and was picked out as the lucky, or should that be unlucky, audience member who got to hold a balloon as illusionist and stuntman Jonathan Goodwin fired a crossbow at it whilst blindfolded.

LISTEN: As Michelle catches up with Jonathan afterwards:

Amongst the acts is a former professional dancer turned magician, ‘Bones,’ who incorporates his love for hip-hop with street magic.

LISTEN: He talks us through what we can expect:

Ben Hart is a magician who describes himself as a ‘jack of all trades’ and has been practicing sleight of hand magic since he was a kid.

LISTEN: Ben's take on the show is that it really is Impossible:

The ‘Impossible’ tour will run from 22nd – 25th March.
