Show Review – Simon Coronel – Live at the Melbourne Magic Festival (Northcote Town Hall) – 4.5 Stars
“Magic isn’t real,” Simon tells us at the start of his show; “Think of it as live special effects.” He tells us he’s going to trick us; and he challenges us to catch him out – we can’t. It’s amazing to think that there are magicians this talented living among us. You’d think they’d have made all our watches disappear and changed all our $20 notes to $5s. Let’s just hope they’re all like Simon. His seamless blend of supreme illusion and quick witted patter makes this hour fly by, and the only thing I wish is that it was longer.
