Well what a fabulous show..... for those who saw parts of it at the Shop in Birmingham know what type of show it was, but much much bigger. For those that didnt, Todd presents himself as the Metaphysical Magician, a premise of blending science and the esoteric to create what might be magic, or something a bit more unexplained... either way it is a strong premise that totally suits him as a performer.
The show had sold out, the stage set looked just like the opening act from a sherlock holmes play... lots of .. (well you'll just have to watch the dvd when it comes out to see lol..)
The whole thing just reeked of class...... I dont want to spoil it for those who will see it at some point, but following themes of synchronicity, State of Nature and Magie, Musique et Mystique the show had 13 different pieces, which ranged from a highly visual crystal routine to more subliminal thought projections. Some effects were short, punchy and to the point, as well as others like Le Bateleur which is slightly more lengthy with a gripping story weaving through the routine.
Some fantastic reactions from the audience, which could not have been better, always nice when you get the "perfect reaction". Not to mention the perfect hit....
From a personal side, i always have enjoyed watching people perform, and this did not disappoint, it goes to show that the line between magic and mentalism doesnt have to be divided and that card effects in the right setting and with the right premise can be very strong. If you have a strong understanding of your charecters premises and it fits with what you present.... do it....
Anyways folks..... watch this space for the DVD :0)

Hello
This looks just like the kind of event I would enjoy…
"As a scholar magician, Dr Todd combines his knowledge of philosophy, history, politics, and science with his deep study of the magical and mystical arts to explore a range of life’s enduring questions"
-taken from http://www.metaphysical-magician.com/
What a thoroughly exciting mix of genres; judging from the website description, the approach is completely heterogeneous. I may have to attend a future demonstration, although any updates on a D.V.D recording of the evening would be noteworthy.
Thankyou
