Barry performed a 25-minute magic show at the Thornbury Musical Theatre Group’s after-show dinner at the Plough Inn, Pilning (near Bristol). Barry performed a variety of tricks, with maximum audience participation including card, rope, prediction and mind reading tricks. The audience were given the opportunity to win money but sadly for them, they all somehow failed to win although one lucky participant somehow managed to end up with a lottery ticket. Throughout the performance, Barry received thunderous applause and the whole routine was well received by all. The picture shows Barry half way through performing a rope trick which left the audience baffled and amused.

Illusions Magic Bar, Bristol

Barry performed, along with professional magicians, at the Illusions Magic Bar in Bristol, the UK’s only bar dedicated to providing magic free of charge to their customers. Barry performed a few times throughout the evening to an appreciative and fun audience with a routine including a variety of card, rope and mind-reading. This was Barry’s first event performing with professionals and the audience and fellow magicians were entertained by Barry’s ‘Magical Touch’ for over an hour. Barry is already looking forward to his next performance at the Illusions Magic Bar and meeting and entertaining another great audience.

The Mogul Shamrat Indian Restaurant, Thornbury

Barry performed a 1-hour routine including rope, card and mind-reading tricks to the manager and staff of the restaurant. Everyone was highly entertained and the Italian Chef rope/spaghetti trick was particularly well received with spontaneous applause, laughter and amusement. Barry will be performing on some Saturday evenings whilst customers wait for their takeaway food to be prepared and served.

Barry performed close-up magic during the interval and then at each of the matinee and evening performances performed on stage for 15 minutes. His routine included a newspaper restore, the Italian Chef rope/spaghetti trick, mind-reading and prediction and a light illusion with his wife Sue.
