Entering Mason Kings 45 minute Sleight of Mind show. I was feeling cynical and unsure about what to expect. Magic is exactly that magic, I mean surely it’s all up to the magician’s sleeve! However, none of his tricks went anywhere near his sleeve during the entire show. The sheer level of accuracy was mind-blowing.
King’s happy exterior and complete control over the entire performance is brilliant. He sets the audience at ease and there’s a lot of careful interaction.
The audience was astounded at times by his accuracy and the reactions they gave during the show were all genuine as far as I could see.
There were a couple of moments when he was not accurate with his mind-reading predictions. Although I do wonder if that was part of his act too, building up the atmosphere. Regardless of how or why it’s a very entertaining and thought-provoking show.
I was left questioning how did he do that? Whatever methods King uses I am very impressed with the performance I have seen. The ending to his show leaves you wondering how!
Looking back at my original biography section on here I can see how far my writing life has gone. With two Edinburgh Fringe seasons behind me and a huge variety of Theatres visited things have grown beyond my wildest dreams.
I now write for my own blog, London Theatre Reviews and Broadway Baby. On top of this I am an Off West End Senior Assessor and throughout lockdown helped turn the Oncomm into a success and watched Scenesaver become a huge success. Recently I was on the panel to vote for Scenesaver production awards. It has been an amazing journey and I am looking forward to the Theatres reopening next week (from 17th May 2021). My original introduction is underneath as a reminder to myself of just how far I have come. Long may it continue.
