Sorry - I'm hoping this will be jumped to the correct thread if I've got it wrong. I was wondering if anyone had heard of these people - Ken Bardowicks, Tom Voss, Jonas Zeller, Ben Profane?
There's not much magic around Luxembourg - just noticed all these people are here this weekend - wondering if it was worth the 'expensive' tickets to the theatre ... any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Well, I'v heard some good things about Ken Bardowicks, he's a young Stand-up magician with a real up-tempo stage show.
Ben Profane is a well known close-up magician, so you should take a look, it will probably be woth it.

Hello Eirik,
Thank you so much for your reply. I went along anyway as there's not much opportunity in Luxembourg to see 'live' magic so I couldn't resist.

Unfortunately, Ben Profane was hosting and didn't really do anything, which was a shame.
Ken Bardowicks' performance was certainly up-tempo but it could have been slicker - for me (a novice) most stage magic is all about performance and delivery - I couldn't care less if I've seen the same thing 25 times - good delivery will make it special every time. I haven't seen any magic for a long, long time (by choice) so it was interesting to be back watching again, but I'm a lot 'fussier' now!
I'll have to catch up with Mr Profane again ....
I appreciate your time,
Amanda

That's to bad that Mr. Profane did'nt perform, I would have been a treat to watch. Still I hope you had a good time and that the experience triggered your interest in magic again.
BTW I'm going to see Copperfield in Budapest on the 3.of Dec. Looking forward to it:)

Dear Amanda,

I happened to be the director of the show and I must say that I do not fully agree with you on some points.

Ben's job was to host indeed and I think that he did a great job. He did not do much magic indeed but I hope you will agree with me that what he did was quite strong. Just for the record, he is a member of the German team "Die Fertigen Finger" and he is a very talented magician in his own right. It is just not what he was booked for on Saturday.

As regards Ken Bardowicks' performance, I think it was brilliant. Since you have been there, you may remember the reactions he got from the audience. He has a very successful full-evening show in Germany.

If you would like to see more (good) magic in Luxembourg, feel free to get in touch with me. You may even know who I am...

Regards,

D
