Bring your best friend, boyfriend, baby, parents, grandparents and neighbour to Charlie Caper: Magical. This show is guaranteed to enchant and entertain young and old through flawless sleight of hand, charm and pure whimsy.
Caper is a master at his craft - showing us the card we're thinking of AND his heart. Both are magical.
His tricks and tropes will have you absolutely aghast and questioning the laws of physics. Every time you think it can’t get more unbelievable, his next trick makes you instantly forget the initial and become absolutely hooked on the latter. Sometimes he’ll even let you in on the joke, but even that turns out to be unbelievable.
This isn’t just your average magic show either - Caper experiments with cards, cups, coke cans and robots like you’ve never seen before. That’s what you get when you combine a magician with a robotics engineer! Although when Caper reminds you he is coming from -44 degree Sweden, it makes sense that he’s got lots of time to practice indoors.
While there are a few magic shows on offer this Fringe, what sets this apart of Caper’s charm. Dispersed around the magic are recollections from his childhood and early days starting out in magic and just how powerful, and disarming, a good card trick can be. His crowd work is second to none - especially when it involves 7 year olds screaming at you to find their card in 2 seconds with your eyes closed - and he takes it all in his stride with good humour.
Caper has been the recipient of more awards, standing ovations and five-star reviews than there are cards in a deck - and it is clear to see why. His magic and humour are accessible to all and top-notch to boot.
