Family-friendly comedy magic show with sleight of hand and audience participation at the Newcastle Comedy Festival.
Joel from JD's World of Magic is performing at the Newcastle Comedy Club on Sunday 19 July, as part of the Newcastle Comedy Festival. It's a family-friendly comedy magic show, so it's one of those rare things that actually works if you're bringing the kids along rather than leaving them at home.
The set is built around two things: sleight of hand and audience participation. The sleight of hand is the close-up stuff — cards, coins, things that happen right under your nose — and the participation means you're not just watching from your seat. You'll likely find yourself pulled into the act, which is where the comedy side of the show comes from. It's a good mix for a Sunday afternoon, with the magic providing the hook and the comedy keeping it light.
Because it's family-friendly, it's a safe bet for a mixed-age crowd. The Newcastle Comedy Festival is running across the city, and this is one of the slots that fits into a school holiday schedule without needing a babysitter. If you've got kids in tow, it's an easy way to get them out of the house for a bit.
