Ian Kendall's teeny weeny magic show, too

Fringe Programme page 33
 
Ian Kendall is fairly unique. There are not many magicians on the Fringe, there are not many Edinburgh natives performing either, and their can't be too many 6ft plus who must weigh  about eight stone.
Ian fits all of the above, but what he fits even better is his chosen role of an up close magician with a friendly line of comedy. It says plenty of the man's personal appeal to  his audiences all the seats were taken  there were quite a few standing.
Of course Mr Kendall is first and foremost a magician, and a damn good one at that. There were a few youngster in the audience and the look of astonishment on their faces was reflected on us more mature members.
How he manages some of his tricks, illusions, call them what you will, well it can only be magic!!
I was pleased to see that the old favorite 'Gravity' is still in the show and although everybody has seen it before, it is ,along with the rest of his show superb!!
