Very funny spoof of a spirit medium. You can probably work out the techniques, but the act is very good and very silly with a splendid payoff at the end.

Ian D Montfort is a brilliant act, incredibly funny and an interesting look at what happens when someone comes into mentalism with no prior experience and learns OUR stuff for no reason other than to create the show. He does a great job - I saw the show in Leicester a year or two back and it just blew the audience away. I know a lot of work went into the act, studying the speech patterns of actual mediums (media?) as well as all the rest of the nonsense.

Wow is right. Thank you for sharing, Jon. I'd never heard of Ian (or his alter-ego Tom Binns.) My psi-powers predict huge success for this fellow. (Followed by drug problems, rehab and a comeback tour.)

Fantastic - a wonderful way to spend half an hour and a great way to start the weekend.
Many thanks for the link, Bill |

Saw the show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival earlier this year. Brilliant stuff.
Tom also does another character - Ivan Brackenbury: Hospital DJ. Very, very funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4PAw_NcS8g |

I think this works so well because there's a warmth to it and the effects fit very well into the overall silliness. I can;t wait to see him on TV, which is where I think he's bound for.
I think he also does the comedy country singer Tina C. A very talented chap all round. |

A little research turned up the fact that not only was he tutored by mentalist Phillip Escoffey, Escoffey directed the show. That explains Ian's pretty impressive skills.

This would be an interesting thread to take to the other place which is lurkerless as his pre s--w is very interesting.
I've seen his show twice (both times at Edinburgh Festival) and there's some lovely bits in there.
Bob Burns is the creator of The Swan.

I've never really felt qualified to post on any particular topic before I think I can make an exception for this one. I'm really pleased the character has been well received especially here. I am in debt to this forum and it's members for helping me research many of the methods I use in the show. |
