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 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).

Best part of the show was not just finding a word in a book, but finding the entire phrase! Other than this one, nothing really we haven't seen before. The guy is nice but it had a lot of talking and tricks we've seen before. The part with the book though was great. No one expected this to be so accurate. I was asked to name a line and I wasn't part of the trick, so I can say this was not staged.

Excellent sleight of hand magic, although nothing much I haven't seen before. The best trick was picking a word out of a random book.

So much fun. Caspar brings a fun, unique wit to his magic that is a breath of fresh air. He had great interaction with the audience, and I loved his illusions. He did some classics but did them with such flair that they seemed brand-new. A great show all around!

Fantastic show, easily the best magician at the Fringe. Sublime skill and wit. No wonder Sadowitz rates him (and Jerry is first rate himself). 5 star.

I won't lie, I'm not naturally drawn to shows about magic but found myself a member of Casper's audience this week. His style is unassuming, gentle, meticulous and thoroughly engaging, with killer dead pan comedy lines I especially appreciated. Better still, he performed some magic on me. It blew my mind:)
