Verzaubert - some impressions from a magic show
« on: March 26, 2017, 17:35:30 »
A colleague at my new job is a magician.
He asked me to shoot a performance of his magic circle.

So here are some impressions:

The star of the show is Magic Maxl, Germanies junior champion.
He needed a a special exemption, because 10 year olds are usually not admitted to the club.
Here he is demonstration how at Oktoberfest he showed some Italian timbleriggers (Hütchenspieler) how it is really done:


This ten year old has a stage persona, most grown up entertainers would give an arm and a leg for...

Then there was this medieval medico cleaning out the earwax of a spectator:


Then there was this guy who collected souls and then continued on to swallowing pins:


Then he pulled them out with a string he also swallowed:


Looks like he messed up a bit, because he was not present for the finale.
We later learned that there where three pins he did not get out.
He left in an ambulance. My colleague told me they could fix the problem in the clinic.

The performances don't work too well in single images, that's why I am posting only a few.

cheers

Hello Andreas,

 you have capture characters. Facial expressions match perfectly the kid, the surprise and the soul catcher.
  You also made the most out of the inverted "v" color changing light set up -at least I think that´s what it is. Never easy to get it all on live performances.

   The red background with the added candles works.

  Do you have more. I like stories in images :)

  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Paco, this was the second time I have seen the shwo in this venue, and they guys then kwno how te set up the light to maximum effect.
And I had a seat at the bar with a decent viewing angle, arranged by ma colleague who wanted the images.

Yes, but they will be too boring for people who have not been there.
I have a mostly complete coverage here: http://images.afximages.com/Events/n-G6p6g
This was for the performers who needed some images for their on-line presence.

cheers

Andreas,

Great photographs all, I particularly like the expression of the kid at that top.
