Sean Alexander

1 Moment in Time

Returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, Sean Alexander brings back his spellbinding show, “1 Moment in Time,” refined and more powerful than ever. Following a critically acclaimed debut last year, this mesmerising storytelling magic show has garnered multiple rave reviews, described as “mind-boggling,” “jaw-dropping,” and “truly miraculous.” Now, with fresh elements and deeper emotional resonance, Sean Alexander invites audiences once again to explore the defining moments that shape our lives.

From historic milestones like the invention of the lightbulb to deeply personal experiences, “1 Moment in Time” interweaves masterful storytelling with astonishing illusions to create an unforgettable experience. With audience participation at its heart, the show challenges us to reflect on our own pivotal moments and the ripple effects they create. As one man searches for his defining moment, audiences will be drawn into an intimate and thought-provoking journey of time, memory, and destiny.

1 Moment in Time blends emotionally-driven storytelling with mind-blowing magic, described by audiences as “thought-provoking”, “inspiring”, and “utterly unforgettable”. It explores the moments that define us, challenge us, and change the course of our lives; all through the lens of illusion and theatre.

Sean Alexander’s 28-year career includes two Royal performances, an acclaimed 24-hour online celebrity charity show, and a show-stopping reveal of the ICC T20 World Cup trophy to UAE Royalty and cricket legends in 2024. With performances on some of the most prestigious stages, including the London Palladium, and recognition from the likes of America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent, Sean has cemented his reputation as one of the most innovative magicians today. Lauded as “on a par with David Blaine” (City Times Dubai), his work with celebrities such as Amanda Holden, Jamie Redknapp, and Romesh Ranganathan showcases his unmatched skill and creativity.

Critics last year described it as:

“One of the standout performances at the Fringe… especially for kids, as it offers an inspiring message: no matter what happens, never give up because miracles do happen.”  North West End

 TV personality Alistair McGowan came to see the show and said he was “knocked out” by it.

Following its debut last year, “1 Moment in Time” is now embarking on an India tour after successful performances in both Dubai and Mumbai, as well as a UK national tour. This international success further cements Sean Alexander’s reputation as a world-class performer, captivating audiences across the globe with his unique blend of magic and storytelling.
