PETER WARDELL - Magic Circle Close Up Magician of the Year 2009

[ktwhitman90]

I give it four stars because he is so busy and fairly slight at hand and pretty good comedian. He needs to work on his routine though because ive never done magic before but I suddenly learned by watching his hands closely watching him switch cups and bags and redirect balls into different cups. It is always supposed to be a mystery.

I got seriously misdirected there. And I'm so glad I did! Love this routine. Definitely deserved the place it got.

Amazed!

:OOOO

Pete is a wonderful performer. I have seen him on stage and many years ago at Covent Garden. Well deserved award.

[concolossus]

saw and met Peter at the session this year, hadn't seen this then!

Wow, loved it. Also, You are very funny. Sorry to boost your ego!

[yadusolparterre]

@concolossus are you talking about the EMC? I thought it was private

[concolossus]

@yadusolparterre nononooo 'the session' is a convention in england set up by vanishing inc for close up magicians.

[JoshSitar]

He flashed in a couple spots here and there, but overall a nice performance.

[Amastermagician]

Very, very funny, and quite skillful.

[tjanaweb]

I saw a magician in Covent Garden in 2008 with the same jokes but they have 3 oranges and a melon

[neilyboi1988]

@tjanaweb Are you sure it wasn't Pete - he does Covent Garden, or certainly used to! If it wasn't they've probably stolen his jokes!

[tjanaweb]

@neilyboi1988 No I'm sure, got his picture lol. Apparently this trick is based on a book and DVD written and performed by a dude called Gazzo, this including the jokes. lol. I love Jason Latimer version of cups and balls and Vernon Dai, should check it out :)

[PeterWardell67]

@tjanaweb The trick is based on the Dai Vernon routine. Gazzo's a friend and I've been around a lot longer than the book and the DVD! Of course I was influenced by him and if you saw a performer in Covent Garden then they were probably influence by us both.

[YouAreHorrid]

Very nice... Kind of a Mullica Eggbag ending there.

[fstarsinic]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting!!!

[neilyboi1988]

Love it!! Pete is fantastic!

[sudburymagic]
