Greetings-
Just an update to all! This week just finished & last week at Westlake Boys High, Auckland, NZ in their brand new multi million dollar auditorium was the finale night to our shows. The biggest Live Magic show seen in Auckland in recent years named- "4 Magicians & a Hypnotist" Starring top Cabaret & Stage Magicians-Wayne Rogers Inventor & performer at Magic Castle, Graham & Gail Bennett also performed at the Magic Castle, Jarod Fell NZ Junior Magic champion, *& International cabaret performer Brent McLeod & Hypnotist Dave Upfold from South Africa These were the conclusion of 4 nights of shows as a test run to see if this format would work! with the last 2 nights shows having 700 people each night in the auditorium at $20 a ticket making this the biggest Magic performance to appear before a paying public to see this type of show here. This is the only Magic with Hypnosis show of its kind in New Zealand with the theme idea based on 4 weddings & a Funeral for the name- originating 10 years ago by Dave in South Africa where this played live & toured. Crowds of this size paying to see a Professional magic show is unheralded in NZ lately-this is not compared to other shows where tickets are telemarketed & given to organisations-This is huge news for NZ Magic - the interest is Phenomenonal!, and can only be good for magic in general for Lay audiences paying & seeing Magic performed Live. The show is very fast paced & not for children but for College students & Adults only hence its success! With 4 fast acts in the first half & a 50 min Hypnosis show to finish-Last night the crowd was almost a riot of Laughing & clapping to the acts!- An amazing atmosphere to perform in! Then the after show response was incredible from the public. For those in Auckland we are promoting Magic & clubs to join during the shows for the public to increase awareness for declining memberships in clubs here & overseas which is a problem . The amount of work to get crowds of this size for 4 nights has been extensive behind the scenes by all Thank you for your time -Brent McLeod |
