Review from Evening News.
2003 Fringe Show at Cafe Royal -22 AUG
COMPETING for attention with hundreds of theatre, music
and comedy shows can’t be easy. To make its mark,
any magic act is going to have to be, at the very least,
original and entertaining.
He charms and engages, and though his performance is obviously
aimed more at an adult audience, he is more than capable
of meeting the needs of the youngsters present. he also
has an endearing ability to belittle his own skills, while
demonstrating that he is more than capable of some astounding
card and coin tricks. Thank goodness for Steven Dick,
the last in a quartet of magicians to appear at the Cafe
Royal this Festival.
Here is a man who knows how to have a great deal of fun
with his art while giving his audience a few belly laughs
in the process.

Dick is a likeable Fifer who
involves his audience at every stage of his presentation.There’s
not a single effect in his repertoire that doesn’t
require the involvement of at least one member of his
packed audience.
"Do you want me to go disgusting,
or clever?" he asks. When the former is requested,
he answers "Good, I’m not convinced I can pull
off clever."
Oh yes he can! In terms of his effects, Dick has a well-balanced
set list that keeps away from the hoary old favourites
and the instruction-sheet patter.
And in terms of his rapport with his audience, he hits
the target every time. |
