Mark Worgan's Klub Magic at the Komedia, Brighton
9th May 2004
Reviewed by Martin Breese
Mark Worgan has done it again. Klub Magic, Komedia Theatre, Brighton, Sunday
9th May. The show was sold out to a packed audience. Fay Presto opened the show
with an hour-long cabaret packed with her unique brand of magic. The highlight
of her performance for me was her wonderful presentation of her version of the
Gypsy Thread. She wove into the effect a story about her life and times and it
was very moving indeed.
The next act was brief and to the point and absolutely stunning: Duncan Trillo.
He looked immaculate and the audience of layman applauded virtually every
appearance of a card at his fingertips during his manipulative act. It was one
of the best manipulative acts I have ever seen. Any young magician wanting to
learn to perform in any branch of magic should travel as many miles as it takes
to see Duncan Trillo's award winning magic. Stunning.
The final act of the evening was Safire and that was excellent as well. The
beautiful assistant and partner wove their own brand of magic with fast and well
performed illusions and ended as they should with the best … their presentation
of the sub trunk but performed with a clear crystal chest. To me this seemed as
fast as the legendary Pendragon's version. A great act and a perfect end to a
wonderful evening.
Mark Worgan is a skilled magician and compere and provided brief comedy magic
interludes between the three acts. He is a wonderful organiser of magic. I can't
wait for the next show, which will be Monday 7th June and celebrates a years
run. It then will be rested until September.
