Mark Worgan's Klub Magic at the Komedia, Brighton
Monday 7th June 2004
Reviewed by Martin Breese
I have never been disappointed with any magic show organised by Mark Worgan
and again on Monday 7th June, I had a wonderful magic evening. The show opened
with fast-moving and very baffling Mind Reading from Graham Jolley. I have heard
over and over again how good Graham is and when seeing him I was not
disappointed. Mightily impressed I should say!!!! Heavily influenced by Al
Koran, Graham is a worthy successor. Any mentalist who wants to improve his
technique should study Graham. He is sophisticated and suave and reserved and
then, without warning, breaks into his own kind of diabolical, off-the-wall
humour. A great act!
Pete Wardell followed with magic transported from the street to the stage. His
presentation is magnificent and his Cups and Balls and Hat is the best I have
ever seen. Book this guy if you have a convention in the planning.
The finale of the evening was the magic and illusions of Martyn James and
Company. He has a show and an amusing personality and some really baffling
effects. This is a class act that can be booked anywhere from Berwick Street to
Buckingham Palace.
Holding everything together as compere and resident trixter was Mark Worgan
himself. Wonderful personality, great gags and brilliant timing as well. Mark
Worgan is behind all of these shows and he is backed with resident close-uppers,
Steve Pratt and Steve Virgo. The next show is on Monday 6th September and if you
fancy a weekend in Brighton with a great magic show as well then make sure you
are there.
