Review: Movie Magic from (World Magic Review.com)

Burritos, milkshakes, and magic are an unfortunately unusual combination. Each one of them is great on its own, but together? Unbeatable! The only place to experience this incredible trinity at the Fringe this year is at Alex Kouvatas’s show Movie Magic, in the basement of Burrito’n’Shake, handily located on a key tourist thoroughfare.

However, aside from providing a frankly iconic combination of refreshments, Kouvatas’s venue did not do him any favors. Staff crossed the stage with some regularity and the music from the restaurant was audible in the performance space. Such are often the trials of the newer PBH venues. The space has a great potential, and hopefully with a bit more experience of the benefits of hosting they will treat their performers with more respect.

Kouvatas was nevertheless unstoppable. Some of the more notable aspects of his performance actually did not include magic tricks. In the show reviewed he performed at times in two languages, neither of them his native language, to ensure that Italian-speaking members of the audience were included as well as the English-speaking majority. He went out of his way to get them involved in ways that were accessible to them. Kouvatas included all of the audience in his show. A participant in the show reviewed was especially enamored of his prop banana, reported to be “pleasingly soft and fun to play with”. While her delight with and repeated caressing of his banana did briefly distract Kouvatas, and indeed the entire audience, this only increased the audience’s engagement.

The magic was well performed and themed to the movies. Kouvatas brought along a special movie card deck, so audience members could choose the movies he themes his tricks on. A moment that feels especially on brand for a magician is when he uses a card trick to try to get one of his participants to fall in love with him. While the participant at the reviewed show did not leave her partner for him, it was a fun romcom take on the effect.

His inclusivity of the whole audience sadly did not always have a positive effect. One participant got a little too enthusiastic and grabbed Kouvatas’s bottom to try to catch him out on a trick. He laughed it off, and even got the rest of the audience to laugh through the uncomfortable moment, an impressive testament to his professionalism despite overt and unacceptable (even if unmalicious) harassment.

While touching his bottom is not advised, Kouvatas’s delightful banana is freely given to a chosen participant, just one of the many reasons why Movie Magic is worth a visit. Kouvatas is an inventive and engaging performer who will get the whole audience involved in the show.

I was performing my latest escape act, but little did I know I was actually tying myself up in knots! 🤣🎩 Despite the blunder, I decided to make the best of it and performed the entire show while tied up. The audience loved it and I even got a round of applause for my flexibility!

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Alex who was fascinated by the world of art. One day, he stumbled upon the surrealistic paintings of Salvador Dalí and was immediately captivated by the strange and dream-like imagery. He became obsessed with understanding the meaning behind these works and began to explore the concept of surrealism.

As he delved deeper into the movement, Alex learned that surrealism was all about tapping into the subconscious mind and exploring the irrational and dream-like aspects of human thought and emotion. He was fascinated by the idea of using art to represent something that was not limited by the constraints of reality.

One day, Alex decided to create his own surrealistic painting. He worked tirelessly, pouring all of his thoughts and emotions into the canvas. As he worked, he found himself lost in a world of his own creation, where the impossible was possible and the strange was normal.

When he finally stepped back to admire his work, Alex was shocked by what he saw. The painting was unlike anything he had ever seen before – it was a chaotic and confusing mixture of objects, shapes, and colors that seemed to have no logical connection. But at the same time, it was beautiful and captivating.

Alex was filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment, but as he looked at the painting, he realized that it was open to interpretation. It could mean anything to anyone who looked at it, and that was what made it so powerful.

In the end, Alex realized that surrealism was not just about creating strange and dream-like images, but about using art to explore the depths of the human mind and experience. He left the world of art with a newfound appreciation for the power of the imagination, and a sense of wonder at the endless possibilities it held.
