Keith Brown— a regular performer at the London fringe— is back this year with a new show called “Art of Astonishment”. And, once again, he provides us with an hour of delightful and entertaining illusions.
Brown is a very skilled illusionist with a huge repertoire of tricks. This show includes several card tricks, tricks in which the answer to a question posed during the show seems to have (impossibly?) been stored in a sealed envelope before the show began, and Brown’s very impressive use of a memory palace to memorize in seconds an entire deck of cards. All of them elicited appreciative “How did he do that?” applause.
Brown’s show, however, is more than a series of tricks. With his warm and engaging manner of interacting with the audience, Brown creates a sense of community in the theatre. His enthusiasm for his trade is infectious: we want him to dazzle us; we want to be fooled. We are never dupes but, rather, willing participants in the illusion.
Many Fringe fans will have seen Brown’s shows in previous years but that is no reason not to go again. You’ll still be fooled and you’l still have a lot of fun.
