Magic is in the Air!

Red is the Color for January!

Mind is indeed STRONGER than Matter!

The Host of the Evening was the gentleman and producer of the show Christopher Lueck.

Every show gets started by showing off the inflatable clown and the NUMBER on it’s head.

The number being the NUMBER of Downtown Clown Revue that have been performed!

This was #45

Then ‘whacking’ it into the audience. One day  those little fellows will be collectors items!

This month’s Downtown Clown Revue had a wonderful variety of performers. PROFESSOR HERCULE NOCHEAUX and his magical and mysterious globe traveling revue has made a stop at the Revue to share some of his unknown and paranormal feats of disappearance. The AMAZING AMY proves once more that the MIND is stronger than matter. She has been thru much physical operations and worn down parts of her body have almost taken their toll. But she proves to all of us that with the right amount of Yoga you can bring yourself to an AMAZING state of physical magic.

Eric Davis is subversive, corrosive and brilliantly funny as he brings his RED BASTARD to the stage. Nominated for Golden Nose Award in 2007 he continues to break barriers, assault audience members that deserve it and make theatre that got him work in Cirque du Soleil’s QUIDAM.

From the wilds of Delaware we have the charming ITINERANT DANCE THEATRE that states “Have Costumes – Will Travel.” They perform eclectic dance pieces using the varied talents of all professionally trained members of the company. Their signature piece “SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO BE SILLY” has never been performed twice the same way. Always allowing the moment to inspire the improv aspect of the work.

Golan made the theatre audience think about the absurdity of space and time. With just a long red string and his quiet demeanor it was a constanttelling the audience to ‘Shhhhssh’. Be quiet! Making his way to finally tackle that task at hand. Walking on the imaginary stringas though it were much higher than it was on the floor. Funny and absurd!

THE GAME

Every month there is a new GAME where audience members get a chance to win some PRIZES!

This month it was Christopher Lueck getting pied in the face. The audience member that got it

’square’ in the face won the PRIZE. Here are some glimpses of what happened!

Chris comes equipped with the proper attire

Preparing the body with a balloon mask!

WHACK! Right in the face!

And The Winner IS!

She walked away with a nice pair of DVD movies to watch.

Golan listens for audience quiet before attempting his task.

Beginning to walk the line.

Reaching the destination after all that wait!

PROFESSOR HERCULE NOCHEAUX

After much hoopla we finally realize that the Professor is NOT SHOWING up. The two tech crew people will some how make it work.

That is the show that he was supposed to do..The MAGIC show!  So the two begin by doing some silly but amusing finger manupulationtricks which get the audience in the right mood for what is to come. They change their clothes into a more ‘performer’s type attire. Then they proceed to stun the audience by doing the amazing TRUCK ESCAPE trick. The two performers are Matthew Pauli and Karen Beriss. Both are very professional performers and did a wonderful and delightful performance of this skit.

The ‘tech crew’ member shows off Manual finger magic at it’s best!

They have their professional costumes on now!

He puts her in the bag and covers her with it.

Puts her in the truck!

He thinks he is locking her in! Look on the left side back…lol

Covers the truck with a large cloth and stands on it!

The cloth is dropped and there she is! MAGIC!

He comes out of the box and out from under the bag in her clothes!

Amazing feat of magic and we have the stage tech crew to THANK for it all. A job well done by Matthew Pauli and Karen Beriss.
