mr magic
Mr Magic is a washed-up vaudeville stage-illusionist and clairvoyant.
He's a cripple, wheel-chair bound, and addicted to powerful
medication. In his show Mr Magic will attempt to reach and communicate
with the spirits of dead family and friends of audience members. The
spirits which posses him though are ghosts from his own past,
returning to accuse and torment him. As the saying goes - You may be
finished with your past but your past is not finished with you...
Mr Magic has three supporting characters in his show - His
nurse/puppeteer, who liberates Mr Magic by moving his body, but also
keeps him enslaved by administering the drugs that he's addicted to. A
glamorous Showgirl assistant - that may exist only in his fantasy. And
an old and legless rabbit, vulgar, angry and with suicidal tendencies.
Ladies and Gentlemen, clear your minds, for there is a spirit, here, amongst us!
Mr Magic is a Famous and Powerful Magician. Or at least thinks he is. A dusty but distinguished old gentleman, Mr Magic is confined to a wheelchair, and relies on his male nurse for both mobility and to assist him with his magic. He's a chatty old fellow, and enjoys nothing more than meeting new people to share his wisdom and amaze with his feats of Magic and Mentalism.
As well as a host of card tricks - which don't always go to plan - Mr Magic specializes in telepathy, mind reading, and predicting the future. These extraordinary feats of mental power rarely fails to amuse and amaze not only his audience but the jolly old magician himself.
Mr Magic is happy to free-wheel around festival settings, sharing his wonders with anyone who's interested, but is most thrilled to perform on a stage - whether that is a small podium at a social function or the main stage of an Opera House. Performances can be tailored anywhere from 10 minutes to a full evening performance, and with some advance information can also include content which is specific to the event and key people at that event.
His magic is unpredictable, but Mr Magic's charm and mystery guarantees audiences of all ages a magical time.
