Stuart Lightbody's Magical Hands and Magical Feats

Aren’t hands strange and wonderful things, and who could be opposed to opposable thumbs? Stuart Lightbody, the winner of the “Best Magic Award” at Adelaide Fringe 2024, explores how hands evolved to master manipulation. Lightbody’s delightfully dexterous digits guarantee wonders that are impossible to grasp and feats worthy of a standing ovation. 

From the winner of the Spirit of the Fringe Ovation Award (NAFest 2019), the Theatre Award (FRINGE WORLD Festival, 2018), and the Creative Award (Prague Fringe Festival, 2014).
