All of the Wicked Wizards from the East are bucking against stereotypes: all of the magicians claim that despite being expected to become doctors, accountant, and lawyers, they decided to become performers, much to their parents’ chagrin.
The magicians stick to this theme throughout their performance, which includes a lot of genuinely mind-boggling slight-of-hand magic and illusions. For their first year at the Fringe, the Wizards pull off a decent first show, and demonstrate real talent as illusionists.
The show does need a little polishing (although it’s worth pointing out that I attended the preview performance). Some of the transitions and acting parts between the illusions need some work so that the flow of the performance is improved. However, the Wizards work the audience well, and utlise audience participation to full effect.
Wicked Wizards from the East are a great night out if you’re looking for some magic that will blow your mind. I’ll be eager to see what the come back with at next year’s Fringe.
