We had this magician at our society last night to give us a lecture. He is a cruise ship magician. I have to say the man is bloomin fantastic. His magic is good from a laymans point of view but to a magician you will know the method of some of them pretty much as soon as you see the effect anyway this isnt about the magic. The man is a complete comedy genius he is one of the funniest men I have ever seen. I almost called him as funny as the great lee evans after watching this he is that funny but he does magic. Honestly if anyone get's a chance to watch Mel WATCH HIM. Here's a part from last nights show.
Mel: I make ballon animals what would you like me to make I can make anything a DOG,cat,horse,DOG,sheep,pig,DOG,donkey,bear or a DOG.
Spec: Can you make me an ardvark
Mel: Of course do you want him happy, sad or confused
Spec: Em I will have him happy I think
Mel: Well that's good because he is happy {starts making ballon animal} because mr ardvark is actully going to a party it's actually a fancy dress party and he is going as a dog {finishes ballon sculpture in shape of a dog}
AT THIS POINT EVERYONE LAUGHS AND CLAPS
Mel: No actually I will make an ardvark {starts making ballon sculpture and it pops but Mel carries on twisting and turning ballon to make it look like he is still making it} There you go there's your ardvark a dead one but still an ardvark {gives popped ballon to spec.
Now this isnt word for word but it's how I remember it but this part was hilarious to watch, the man just has natural charisma and he is naturally funny, he is in command the whole time he is just brilliant. Anyway thought I should let you know.
