a brit of magic

An interactive and engaging British variety show, hosted by World-class magician and international stand-up comedian, Keith Fields and Lady Sarah.  Great for all audiences and ages (EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH IS AVAILABLE).  

This show is an interactive experience.  The show takes place both on stage and in among the audience which has the profound effect of not only breaking the fourth wall but shattering it beyond recognition!  From that point the audience become as much a part of the show as the performers.

When the show proper actually starts the audience are already sitting with baited breath and looking forward to the journey.  A ride that includes some crazy comedy, amazing magic, as well as some slightly eerie moments which balance the show perfectly.

The show contains hilarious British comedy, stories about how they came to be in the USA, tales of the struggles they had trying to learn the language (they call it English but it has changed since it crossed the pond!) and sharing of their vision to ‘change the world one laugh at a time’.

Classics of magic such as the cut and restored rope and the cups and balls rub shoulders with a modern tribute to Harry Houdini, and a little light culture with some Shakespearean legerdemain.   All of them have been given a twist that will make them new and thoroughly memorable.

This is balanced with more theatrical moments like the story of the last 2 lifeboats to leave the Titanic and some amazing sleight of hand.

Then there is the mind reading ventriloquist which has to be seen to be believed.

This is more than a magic show.  It is more than a comedy show.  This is an evening of fun and laughter that no-one will forget.

MAGICIAN/COMEDIAN KEITH FIELD

Keith started his performing life as a street entertainer and was International Street Performer of the Year in London, England.  When the cold winter weather came he was forced indoors and his unique comedy style of magic opened doors into the comedy clubs all over Europe.  There aren’t many prop acts who have successfully headlined comedy clubs, that is because you have to get as many laughs per minute as the comedians and still find time to make the tricks work.  Keith is proud to be one of this elite group of performers.

Nowadays he works mainly in theaters but his style can still be traced back to his roots.  Keith is one of those people who can make you laugh just by standing there.  He is a master of the art of audience participation, he manages to walk the fine line of being hilariously funny but never embarrassing his volunteers – this is one of the hallmarks of Keith’s work, people who would never normally get on stage simply love becoming the stars of the show.

‘My belief is that anyone who comes on stage should have a great experience, it is my job to make them want to be there and I treat them with respect and really appreciate their contribution to the show’

As a Brit who has made his home in the USA, Keith not only brings his really cool accent, he also has a wonderful oblique view of life in America and still struggles with the language!

LADY SARAH

Shakespeare said ‘all the worlds a stage’, and for Lady Sarah that is definitely true.  She is a real English lady and sounds like she has come straight from an episode of Downton Abbey.  If she had time she would make you a nice cup of tea and some crumpets.  She frequently has to keep Keith on track when he starts wandering off script, as he often does.

‘I’ve been married to him for 25 years and he still makes me laugh, both on and off stage!’
