I have mentioned in a previous review of another of their shows that I have seen previews of this show but this is the first time I have seen it as it pretty much was performed at Edinburgh. It had changed a little, mostly with the banter although they now use a projector to put images to add to the story of the tricks. This included a picture of them in just swimming trunks! They also used a camera to allow people to see some of the tricks, like needle in the eye, close up.
I am still amazed at the polo mint trick and cannot work out how it was done, although I have seen it a stupid amount of times. My sister had the honour of putting the polo mint on Barry's tongue, which she has done before.
The audience were really up for it; there was some grossed out reactions to some of the tricks, however. The people they picked all went along with it, some a little confused, and even seemed quite excited about being involved. It was certainly the best audience for this kind of thing I have been in for a while.
It was nice seeing tricks I haven't seen for quite a while, like the record trick, which involved Stuart moonwalking!
The coolest thing was seeing the full version of the person through stomach trick that I had only seen on YouTube clips. I did see Barry putting his hand through Stuart's stomach at Magic Night last year, but this was just amazing. What really confused me is that it started with Stuart swallowing someone's £20 note, and it seemed like he really did it, as it was filmed using the camera. In general, when they do person through stomach they just 'force' the object through, so it slight of hand can hide the object.
They a-freaking-mazing and people should so see they, they're doing the New Zealand comedy festival with this show and their seance show will be doing Edinburgh this year.
Bonuses: 1. I did Super Barrio again, for the 4th time, which was awesome!
2. Stuart raised his cup of tea to us at the beginning and we said hi afterwards and were nice.
3. After something Stuart said about Barry, I did this:
It's Barretor!
Edit: 4. Here's Stuart eating the Bank of England
