The Movie magic experience explodes off screen for a live audience in Mt Barker's Wallis Cinema! Internationally renowned mentalist/magician Nicholas Tweedy brings his Las Vegas show to Mt Barker for a one night only performance. Nicholas will be debuting a special sneek preview of his highly anticipated 2010 Fringe Spectacular!! Never before seen demonstrations of levitations, esp, and phenomenal mental feats sure to be having the public question what exactly is possible.
Theatres and magic have been together since 1902 when Georges Méliès, a magician-turned-filmmaker, introduced innovative special effects in the first real science fiction film, Le Voyage Dans La Lune, aka A Trip to the Moon. This was his 400th film - a narrative fantasy of long shots strung together, punctuated with disappearances, double exposures, and other trick photography and elaborate sets. Now Nicholas Tweedy combines the traditional movie theatre experience with magic for the first time in Mt Barker.
Nick has been amazing audiences in Australia now for 2 years. Even his most die hard sceptics and critics have nothing but praise for his unique style of performing.
The Independent Weekly said “This is clearly a very skilled illusionist. With no fuss and little fanfare, Tweedy makes the impossible seem real right in front of your eyes. No matter how hard you concentrate, you just cannot see the trickery in these tricks. Whispers of "How did he do that?" and "Oh my God!" followed every illusion.“
Buzz Cuts say “Watch your humble Blockbuster Card levitate in front of your very eyes. Marvel as steel is grossly manipulated with nothing more than a light human touch. Revel in the company of one individual, who will leave you wondering if he can control minds, or simply, connect with them...Nicholas Tweedy is the Reality Bender is nothing short of an all ages, eye popping spectacle, leaving you to wonder if you're watch is still on your wrist as you leave the venue ... or whether you wore a watch that night at all.“
The Adelaide Fix said “This one's so much more than a magic show and I guarantee you'll walk away both smiling in awe and scratching your head with the eternal question: How?”
The Advertiser said “His fluency as a magician is tremendous...as far as stage magicians go, this is the real deal.“
The Ararat Advertiser said “Tweedy will seamlessly blend far-eastern mysticism and western performance styles into an engaging, eye-popping spectacle that will leave the audience amazed and dumbfounded.”
This promises to be an evening that will have the whole township talking even weeks later, asking themselves “How did he do that?” and “How could he have known that?” Every performance Nicholas Tweedy does leaves his audience spellbound and amazed, now it's Mt Barker's turn to experience the magic.
