Finally we were able to go, the last day! to the extraordinary IV International Magic Festival at the Circus Price Theater in Madrid. We were in the morning session for more than two hours enjoying fantastic magic numbers under the direction of Jorge Blass. You have to congratulate Jorge because he keeps the magic festival in Madrid very alive and fills the Circus Price every day so that the whole family can enjoy it.
If Jorge took out the boy he had in last year in 2014, he directly placed him on the stage and merged with him in several interventions surprising, exciting and having fun with spectacular numbers. Of all the performances we have seen in 2014 in addition to the speed and spectacularity of the Dutch Magic unlimited, who do fantastic exercises of appearances, disappearances and impossible levitations, the one that I liked the most has been Ted kim, from Korea, with which I took a picture and everything:
And is that the number of Ted Kim is visually very impressive because not only manipulate objects with your hands but also plays with video projections over your body and especially use video games to enrich your magic numbers. It has a fantastic staging, is very entertaining and has won the Most Original Act Award at the last World Magic Congress.
We also saw Charlie Mag, from Spain, a young Catalan illusionist who has won First Prize in the last European Magic Championship. The pigeons appear and disappear in their hands at full speed, with a careful aesthetic and a great atmosphere.
We didn't see Norbert Ferré from France, which was scheduled until March 2, and instead we saw Gaetan Bloom with your number grapefruit and the letter inside that although we have seen it in another festival nothing happens because the talent, the rhythm of Gaetan and the collaboration of the public make this number one of the most fun and entertaining of the function.
We also liked veterans a lot Scott and Muriel, from the United States, who do a magic with a lot of show and clown talent. It is a very international show and very powerful visually with a lot of rhythm and great surprises throughout the Theater.
And I leave for last Jorge Blass, from Spain, which continues to surprise us with its spectacular, its stories for the whole family, which takes great advantage of technical possibilities and especially because it integrates social networks into their numbers. This year a tweet from a fan asking him to act on his number came true and the girl did it superbly in a spectacular escapism number. We remember that Jorge is a magic wand of gold in Monte Carlo delivered by the S.M. Prince Rainier and Siegfried & Roy Award in Las Vegas.
Here is a video that shows the talent of all these extraordinary magicians who have made us enjoy and that at home it is a must-see appointment every year for their ability to thrill, laugh and cry:
This year 2014 we were also lucky that Jorge Blass took my daughter to the stage and made her part of a close-up magic that she enjoyed. First he turned a ticket into a 20, then 50, then 100, then 200 and then 500 euros at full speed before his eyes. And also made the little girl also enjoy how the rope of a balloon, which was breaking in front of her, magically rebuilt and finally gave it to her, balloon included. In addition he also delivered a magic pack, valued at 15 euros, which includes a lot of tools to start developing the hobby and links to the Jorge Blass page to learn a lot of magic.
When leaving the Theater we took the opportunity to take a picture with the artists, if it was mine with Red Kim, now I include my daughter with Jorge Blass:
