Comedy Magic
John Archer "Nothing to lose"
Wed 7 July - Sat 10 July
7pm (Duration: 50min)
John is the current 'Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year' and has spent the last 19 years entertaining audiences all over the World. Thought by many to be the best Comedy Magician in the UK today.
In February 2000 John took part in The British magical Championships and was awarded 'British Magical Champion of Comedy.' In November 2002 at 'The Magic Circle Awards Banquet' John was promoted to 'Member of the Inner Magic Circle - with gold star' and was awarded 'The Carlton Comedy Award' for outstanding use of Comedy and Magic.
Some have said that comedy and mind reading don't mix, the problem is, they didn't tell John Archer.
So is it possible for John to make people laugh out loud while delving deep into their minds? Can a human being hide their innermost thoughts during moments of hilarity? Predictions, revelations and impossible feats, punctuated with some very funny moments. Is that really possible?
As Derren Brown said "His reputation in the magic world is among the very best. I'd recommend him unreservedly." but don't take his word for it, you be the judge, you've got nothing to lose, other than your thoughts.
"John Archer is charming, disarming and easy to like"
