Review – Again Amazed

I love being fooled, having the wool pulled over my eyes and made to believe that the impossible… isn’t. Which is why I’m a sucker for magic or mentalist shows. Nicholas Tweedy tells you he isn’t a magician, he’s a mentalist and explains that if a mentalist tried to saw a woman in half she’d be dead. Purists may shudder but I don’t care about the differences. I just care that I thoroughly enjoyed myself from the very beginning where an audience member’s bank card was levitated and spun about through the mind reading to the self-sealing and re-filling beer can…all the time asking myself ‘how does he DO that?’

I would like to know why every magician or mentalist picks me to be the bunny who imagines a card and ‘lo and behold’ there it is, upside down in the pack. Why me? Do I just have the sort of face that says ‘gullible’? Actually I don’t care. It’s all great fun and a really, truly awesome display of skill, or maybe it really is magic? Bravo Mr Tweedy! Get yourself down to the Cavern Club before he flies back to the States, you will be, as the show title says, amazed.
