'Funny Tricks' with Ian Keable - Otley Heard the one about the accountant who went into showbiz – combining mind-boggling magic and top-class comedy? The good news is that this remarkable entertainer is coming to Otley – for one night only. The date for your diary is Saturday, 4th February – when the irrepressible Ian Keable brings Funny Tricks to the Otley Courthouse. His aim, he says, is a show where the laughs are as memorable as the magic. And he seems to be getting it right! He has been voted the British Magical Champion of Comedy and also received The Magic Circle Comedy Award. In Funny Tricks, Ian Keable will be demonstrating some of the techniques he uses to mystify his audience. These will feature mind-reading, bewildering sleight of hand, and, above all, his “trademark, laugh-out loud comedy magic”. One reviewer described Ian’s show as ideal for anybody who enjoys non-stop laughter, while simultaneously being totally bamboozled; another simply said it was “mind boggling.” Otley Courthouse, Courthouse Street, Otley LS21 3AN (Map). 7.30 pm, Saturday, 4th February. To book tickets (£10 / £8 concs) call the Box Office: 01943 467 466 or visit www.otleycourthouse.org.uk. |

9th South Tyneside International Magic Festival From the organisers: Thanks again to generous sponsorship from Magic Box, the Customs House and South Tyneside Council we are pleased to announce the Ninth South Tyneside International Magic Festival will be happening again on Friday 9th to Sunday 11th March 2012. Convention booker Martin Duffy has once again come up with a veritable feast of magical names - some of which may be new to you: David Regal (USA) David Regal is a television writer, creator of effects for magicians, and two-time Academy of Magical Arts Lecturer of the Year. Rob Torres (Photo, USA) For the past two decades Rob Torres has travelled to over 45 countries performing in theatres, circuses, varieties, galas, TV and film. His performances at the Budapest, Moscow and Monte Carlo circus festivals have all won him awards, but more than that, laughter! Levent (USA) Levent started out at a very young age performing throughout his native New York City. At the age of 17 he was awarded 1st prize for Stage Magic at the International Brotherhood of Magicians’ National Convention and hasn't looked back since. Christian Schenk (Germany) Christian believes that in 2004 a client’s trade show themed “IT’s Magic” brought him back into magic as he printed his first deck of playing cards. What he thought was just a new hobby turned out to be the most serious (and fun) part of his life. Mat Ricardo (UK) One of the UK's most in-demand comedy variety performers, Mat Ricardo has spent the last 25 years touring the world with his unique, astonishing and hilarious act. Reviving the almost-lost art of the gentleman juggler, Mat blends dazzling feats of dexterity and balance with the wit and timing of a skilled stand-up comedian (look out for his current TV commercial Click Here) High Jinx (UK) High Jinx (Michael Jordan and Tamsyn Sear) are professional variety entertainers, their acts are a thrilling mix of Magic, Illusion, Escapology and Circus skills delivered in a way that will leave you amazed, puzzled even scared but above all entertained. Michael was the 2009 Magic Circle "Young Magician of the Year”. Archini and Smith (UK) John Archer (the first magician to fool Penn & Teller!) and Mike Smith formed this double act back in 1995 when they won the "Alistair Wand" in the International Brotherhood of Magicians stage competition. The act was subsequently performed at many magical society dinners and conventions all over the country. Ricky McLeod (UK) For the past 19 years the popular showman has been adding a touch of magic to thousands of children's and family events. The Scottish Association of Magical Societies have crowned him 'Children's Entertainer of the Year' on four occasions, while he has also twice received the 'Murray Wand for Showmanship'. Friday 9th to Sunday 11th March 2012. Please keep checking our Facebook page for any updates. 2012 convention price of £65. includes all lectures, close-up sessions, and Gala Shows. You can also gain free access to the exclusive “Midnight Show” on Friday night. To register contact jessica.frazer@southtyneside.gov.uk or visit www.visitsouthtyneside.co.uk |
