Robbie Williams is planning to include a mystical element to his new world tour.
The singer has apparently become inspired by illusionist David Copperfield and magician friend Derren Brown.
A source told the Daily Star, "Rob's fascinated with all things magical and mysterious and he's incorporating many elements into the show. He wants this one to be a real spectacle with aspects of an illusionist's show, too.
"The current idea is for him to be raised onto the stage on a platform in a puff of smoke, making it seem as if he's appeared from nowhere. For 30 seconds beforehand, the beeps from Close Encounters will blast out over the speakers."
