Abracadabra by EVENTmania

3 Feb

I have been waiting for the Abracadabra event to finish so we can post up pictures on Hello965.com, spoilers and all.

First, thanks to our sponsors EVENTmania for inviting us to Abracadabra.

If you didn’t book and watch the show, you really did miss out! I went with @rotsu and can’t remember a moment where we weren’t cackling >.<'

We went on the first day, and it was packed! PACKED!!

The show consisted of 5 main acts:

  • Michael Grasso
  • Rafael
  • JC Sum & ‘Magic Babe’ Ning
  • Sylvester The Jester
  • Keelan & Charlotte

Michael Grasso

Michael Grasso is just a pleasure to watch. The combination of chill out jazz music, a captivating illusionist, strong supporting cast, and unique illusions made for a wonderful performance!

 

Rafael

If I ever saw a person with so many pigeons stuffed in his clothes, it’s this guy. Epic comedy. Brilliant illusions. Funky accent. I’m still dying to know what happened to the pigeon he stuffed in his shoe!

 

JC Sum & ‘Magic Babe’ Ning

A fun act with a duet of illusionists. They did a funky card trick and there was a lot of back and forth with the audience. We felt that it was a perfect warm up to the act after them.

 

Sylvester The Jester

When they said Sylvester was a living cartoon character, they weren’t kidding! Super funny prop. comedy. The humour was slapstick for the younger persons in the audience filled with subtle adult humour.

 

Keelan & Charlotte
Brilliant, brilliant act! Brilliant!! Did I say brilliant?!

They were contenders on Britain’s Got Talent. Check the video clip out:

… by far my favourite part of the show!





… and now … the best part!!! … :




SPOILER






The last act was close to the heart! Charlotte changed, in an instant, into a dress with the Kuwaiti flag’s colours! AWESOME!!

HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!
