‘Piff the Magic Dragon's deadpan delivery was a highlight...’ - The Argus (Brighton)

John van der Put’s new show PIFF-TACULAR has surprised and enchanted London cabaret crowds and the Brighton Festival’s Spiegeltent, and was a finalist at Hackney Empire’s New Act of the Year.

Van der Put is an award-winning and sought-after contemporary magician, most recently performing at Sir Ian McKellen’s 70th birthday party, so the mythical beast fetish has come as a shock to many. He’s currently the International Brotherhood of Magicians Close-Up Champion and placed second for the Magic Circle Magician of the Year in the same category. He’s created magic for Punchdrunk/National  Theatre’s Faust, Heston Blumental’s Fat Duck restaurant, celebrity wizard David Blaine, and product launches for corporate giants including Pepsi, LG and Dunhill.

So what’s the whole dragon thing all about? ‘One day I decided I’d had enough of schlepping round corporate dinners and fancy restaurants and out Piff came. He’s how I used to feel on the inside at those gigs. Same monkey, different suit,’ he explained to Time Out earlier this year.
