REVIEW
OF EDINBURGH ONE-MAN SHOW - 2004
LAST year there was a plethora of magic at the festival,
with an army of magicians descending on the Capital. This
year, thankfully, the amateurs have stayed at home, leaving
the field free for those who know what they are doing.
And Steven Dick certainly knows what he is doing.
He has an easy humour and a talent with off-the cuff and
up-the-sleeve remarks.
Dick is a skilled exponent of his art, and offers a level
of jocular entertainment that few other magicians can
match, though most would like to.
Unlike most magicians, who simply want you to acknowledge
their skills, Dick recognises the fact that the audience
wants to be presented with more than just a puzzle. |
They want entertainment. And he is happy to meet supply
that need. Of course, he employs the usual props, but
he adds his own, unique banter to the mix, and he seems
to genuinely like his audience. And they seem to like
him
Whether performing Blockhead, in which a nail is hammered
into the head, or simply teaching the kids a sneaky trick
with an elastic band, Dick comes over as a warm, sparkling
entertainer.
He is skilled, without pretensions, and a jolly nice person
to boot. If you want to see good, uncomplicated, fun magic
then this is a good place to start. EDINBURGH
