History of Magic – Abridged!
Saturday, 6th June 2pm £10 (Concessions £8) £30 family of four (or more)
The sleight of hand and quick wit of Otiz Canneloni combine to create a remarkable and compelling act for all ages to enjoy.
As part of the KETTFEST celebrations, Kettering Arts Centre, is pleased to announce that on the afternoon of Saturday, 6th June it be presenting a unique show: History of Magic – Abridged.
Curiosity, disbelief and dare we say, scepticism, have drawn people to the world of magic for centuries. However, no one, until now, has quite mastered the techniques that Otiz brings to the stage at all of his performances. Only he can condense the history of this ancient craft into a side-splitting hilarious show that has to be seen to be believed – he really does have the magic touch.
With many a trick up his sleeve, (where else), this abridged history begins with the first magic illusion then takes you on an informative journey on the development of this art, but this is no ordinary history lesson. Delivered the flair, panache and quick-fire wit of the stand-up comedian Otiz recounts the chequered history of magic with dexterity and plenty of audience participation – hands-on opportunities play an important part in this show.
Informative it is but with a mind more suited to testing crash helmets, his performance fluctuates between sheer genius and downright stupidity making for one truly family oriented show. He once said that it has taken years of practice to make something so simple look so difficult.
This is family entertainment at its best and whether you are five or 105 your attention will be firmly fixed on the stage from start to finish.
The show starts at 2pm and tickets, cost £10 (Concessions £8) or £30 for a family of four (or more), are available from Waterstones, Kettering and online. Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
