Danger Dave Reubens - Stunt Magician
After a few days of relaxing, I'm finally back with my post fringe waffle.It was brilliant! Despite all the general issues like the Edfringe pulling the show app, train strikes, covid and fewer fringe tourists, I got bigger audiences (averaging about 80 to 90 people a show) and much better feedback compared to previous years. Early on, I made a few blunders as I got used to the new show but it's not the fringe without it feeling like a rollercoaster. By the end, I had all working and people were leaving smiling and very complimentary. Since my number one goal is for people to leave happy having seen something that is pure fun, this made me punch the air like an 80s teen movie.My show this year was a lot closer to what I've always envisioned, a strong narrative that lends itself to the magic and a sneaky finale that totally relates but still catches folk by surprise. I'm so proud of what I achieved and I've come away with something that is a fantastic basis to build on. It's still early days for this show but the ideas I have for version 2 should blow the socks off the audience.Hello to all my new friends who I met around the fringe.A huge thank you goes out to Ben and Ellen for all the help. You both rock and I couldn't have done it without you!Thanks go out to The Liquid Room staff and the Free Fringe for allowing me to do the show and for making it happen.Thanks to Grant Mitchell (not the one from EastEnders) for all the advice and ideas on some of the magic used in the show. Also to Cameron Gibson (go to his profile and checkout his Edfringe show!) for the photos and very handy feedback that made the show better!Thanks to my very patient other half, Ana Key, for putting up with me being busy with rehearsals/preparation and being scarce during half of August.Lastly, a massive thanks to everyone who took the time to see the show. It can't happen without you giving it a chance and I hope you all had a blast. ... See MoreSee Less
