 "Six More Impossible Things Before Dinner" |
Philip Escoffey's return to Melbourne follows two months elsewhere in Australia performing the original show
at what has been a very successful extended season at Sydney Opera House and (currently, until 13th March)
at the Adelaide Fringe (http://tix.adelaidefringe.com.au/). “To be undone by his mind reading on stage (as this reviewer was) is disarming and defies logic. ????˝” The Age, 2009 In the new show, Philip returns slightly more skeptical, with some new impossibilities taken from the dark and dangerous world of influence, belief, need – and deceit. Six MORE Impossible Things Before Dinner takes last year’s show a step further in making the audience challenge one huge thing: what you fundamentally believe is possible. From beliefs based on luck to the multi-billion dollar spiritual industry, everything comes under scrutiny by this maverick performer. If you want to remind yourself of Philip's unique take on the world, have a click here: http://video.stv.tv/bc/news-headlines-20080805-s2-festival "It would be unforgivable to tell you what happens at the end of this astounding show, such breathtaking skill... nothing short of a masterpiece!. ????” The Scotsman, 2009 (UK) Venue: Trades Hall, New Ballroom (cnr Victoria and Lygon Sts, Carlton) Dates: 25 March – 18 April (no show Mondays) Times: Tuesday – Saturday 7.00pm, Sunday 6.00pm Bookings: Ticketmaster 1300 660 013, www.comedyfestival.com.au or at the door |

 "KOZMO" "teaches...." MELBOURNE |
Ted Brainard is the creator of Kozmo Magic, which is recognized
as one of today's premier magic video production companies. His "Reel
Magic Magazine" continues to be the benchmark in the video magic
industry. Ted's alter ego, Kozmo, is acknowledged to be one of the top
street performers in the world today. Kozmo recently completed a week
at The Magic Castle with great reviews. Kozmo will begin his lecture with a performance of his professional street act. This is a treat in and of itself. Kozmo will proceed to explain each effect in his street act. Kozmo pushes the envelope by teaching you why he has chosen each effect and why he has placed each effect where it is in his act. You will hear Kozmo talk about conditions on the street. He will give you his thoughts on how to make your “hats” bigger. You will laugh at some of the anecdotes you will hear, including a great story about Harry Anderson. Kozmo will show you how the principles of performing in the street can also be applied to the restaurant magic venue as well as the trade-show floor. You may well jump for joy, as there is ONLY ONE card trick in the lecture. To some of you this may be your motivation to attend the lecture. • Translocation Coins – The reasons why Kozmo opens with this effect • Coins In The Cup – You will learn how to make this effect play big rather than play small • A Card Trick – How to make this trick play big or play small • The Sugar Packet Trick – Why this effect plays so strong • Chop Cup Routine – Kozmo’s complete routine with all its nuances Learn how to make your magic play stronger, and learn a lesson in psychology, magic, and audience management! Plus much much more!!! "Kozmo is what magicians need to be -- ENTERTAINING!" - Karl Norman "All magicians need to see you work". -- Obie O'Brien "Thanks, Kozmo, for a great lecture. The best we've had in two years! I enjoyed your message of connecting with your audience and focusing on the fun in magic." -- Bill, IBM 4 / SAM 47, Rochester, NY "Performance is always about the audience, but being able to gather and energize an audience is a First Principle that Kozmo understands in spades. I watched him work the hard-scrabble streets of the Big Easy. He is the best I've seen in the trenches, bar none!" -- Jon Racherbaumer “That’s the best street magic show I have ever seen in my life.” – Brian Gillis Melbourne Location to be announced Magician $25 Partner (wife) $5 Enquiries: Graham Etherington (03) 9786 5481 |
