This is a combination of all Colin’s other skills and he is the only South African performer
... in fact, one of only a select few in the world ... to have created a commercial, magical performing character. Colin's
creation, Mr
Barnaby Smythe, is a whacky business man who happens to stumble into the function.
Living in a world of his own, it soon becomes apparent that he is unusually
accident-prone ... and out of control
He
finds that, at every turn, strange and comical situations arise around him and
he tries
to deal with them as best as he can:
.......... He cleans his glasses to find they have no
lenses........ There is something in his eye, it turns out to be a sponge ball which
very quickly vanishes from his hands no sooner has he spied it. .......The ball
reappears under somebody’s elbow across the room ........ he tries to light a
cigarette only to have the lighter disappear in a bright flash of flame........ The
cigarette breaks, restores and there is general mayhem as the wallet now bursts into flames.
All
the while the crowd becomes more and more mesmerised by his actions and during
a trade show he will slowly move back to your stand for them to congregate and
be sold on whatever product you have to offer. Sometimes the product
might be incorporated into Colin's act and the audience is entertained and
educated at the same time.
This performance can be a short or sustained over a
longer period. It can be adapted to a conference room or as a massive production for 3000 delegates.
His success has spread
and he was recently recognized in the top American Magician Publication, The Magic
Magazine.
Colin
is very proud to have been part of a massive Conference for Microsoft Tech ED which
involved a very big Circus Soleil type production with 40 artists. Colin and
his Character Barnaby appeared throughout the show.
