Description

Stunning magic. Unbelievable skill. Elegant Performance. Pure close-up magic and sleight of hand, with no stooges, no electronics, no camera tricks! All presented in elegant style by an understated showman. 'You won't see this level of skill anywhere else in the world. He should be charging £100 per ticket' (Jerry Sadowitz). 'Master of sleight of hand… [Caspar] drew the audience in to the point where he had them eating, almost literally, out of his hand' (FringeReview.co.uk).

I love close-up magic and Caspar was a real treat to watch. Get their early and sit as close to the front as you can.

We really enjoyed this show. There are a couple of stand out, jaw dropping tricks, to the extent that I can only imagine some jiggery-pokery going on, as they simply can't have been what they seemed.

We talked a lot about this show afterwards, so that proves that he did a great job in keeping the audience entertained.

Caspar is an absolutely jaw dropping magician. He is so relaxed onstsge that he makes the tricks seem easy, but his skills are astonishing. There are few theatrics, just trick after mind boggling trick. The room is small enough that everybody can clearly see what he is doing, ans he gets the audience involved in a gentle way, mainly to check the props he uses are solid before using them in an impossible trick. A thoroughly entertaining hour.
