I found out that it was the International Day of Awesomeness (decided on as it is Chuck Norris's Birthday) and decided I would do a post on some people I found awesome, as the page of this day suggests. So I'm going to write about why I think Barry and Stuart are awesome.
Firstly, they simply do mind blowing tricks. The majority of their tricks I cannot work out how they do it and it looks effortless. They are so inventive and do things that other magicians wouldn't even think of. I'll put some videos just to show how amazing their tricks are, and there are loads online.
Secondly, and related to the tricks being mind blowing,is that they are stylish and have a meaning. Barry and Stuart make the tricks have a point, creating a story that is plausible and fits the trick. They also present tricks differently, so it may have been done before but not in the exact way they do it.
They are also very, very funny. It is very natural the banter between themselves as well as the audience as it does not feel forced, like they just crow barred it in.
Their twistedness and darkness also make them awesome. It is a balance they do really well, they're not clichéd goths, not goths at all actually, but they still have dark elements to their tricks, enhancing the feeling like everything is not as it seems. They also play on the old magic, when it was seen as real and try and evoke that feeling.
They are also really nice. Me and my sister were a little worried that they would think we were a bit mad for seeing them so many times but after Saturday's gig they shook out hands and said they were happy about our attendance.
Finally, and on a very admittedly shallow note, they are so, so pretty and hot. It's a combination of the things listed here and their really good looks, as the videos will testify.
I'll get back to normal tomorrow.
