Hello everyone! This May is a very busy month magic wise. I got an e-mail from our club president about the shows that will be on, and when. Here they are:
May 8 - ABC - David Blaine, two-hour special. May 12 - CBS - Keith Barry - Extraordinary. May 31 - A&E - Criss Angel's Mindfreak new season begins. End of May (exact date unknown, possibly May 31) - A&E - a pilot for a new show rumoured to be called The Magic Castle After Dark. The magic castle one sounds cool. Anyway, hope everyone gets to enjoy them. I will post if I find out further info. |

Well I'm glad Keith Barry is doing well...but I do hope he has sorted out his presentation and mis-mash of strong mentalism routines with sponge bunnies...and if I hear him say "it hasnt gone its travelled" one more time I think I'll burst! But hopefully these things will have been ironed out from his series he use to have, I look forward to it anyway, thanks for posting!

I personally feel that Keith will try to do a Derren Brown style special. Currently, there is no one here in America that is known for doing the psychologically heavy stuff that Derren does. And judging from Brown's success overseas, CBS probably sees that as a smart business decision.

Keith, (Who I never heard of actually) will be doing effects to Jessica Simpson, among other celebreties. (Jessica is the only one I could remember, because she's the only one I knew.)

He has had two series I think in Ireland and they were shown on Living Tv here in the UK, and he also appeared on Astounding Celebrities another show here in the UK, pretty sure he has done some work on MTV aswell during their springbreak season, I watched some of the shows but wasn't his biggest fan for the reasons I stated above.

Great to see so much magic on tv, it does help all performers and brings the modern magic feel back to people. Like any of the performers or not it is great to see.

I saw this advertised, but I'd not heard of Keith Barry before. Is there a website I could look up on him before the special airs?

This is the US Premier of “Keith Barry – Extraordinary”, Keith’s first CBS Special which airs in Primetime at 8pm (PST). This Special sees Keith perform psychological illusions with celebrities including Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Simpson, Elijah Wood and Wilmer Valderrama. |

Oh dear ... another blind-driving exhibition? Haven't we seen this a few times in recent years? Criss Angel ... Alain Nu ... I think they did it on Mondo Magic, too, didn't they?

Anyone see Keith on Ellen this morning? (I, uh, should point out that my TV was turned on to Ellen on account of girlfriend...)
Anyway, I'd never heard of the guy, but was happy to see him on the show, and I think he nearly gave Ellen a heart attck with one of the effects he performed. Mike
Why doesn't it tickle when I tickle myself, but it still hurts when I stick a fork in my eye?

Isn't this the exact same effect Criss Angel performed on the Today Show with Katie Couric around Christmas last year?

Considering that Keith Barry's version aired in Ireland (and 28 other countries) years ago, can you guess where they saw it? Hmmmmm... Quote:

Keith is on a four episode contract with CBS so we will get to see more of him most likely annually for at least four years. He did a great job on this one lots of things really jump out at you.
