VOLUME ONE - PLATFORM MAGIC
Ovation Position - Kick off your show with a bang! This routine gets the entire crowd involved and finishes with the jaw-dropping appearance of a massive glass of water—no gimmicks necessary! (Seriously, you’ll want to see their faces.)
Impossible Knot Routine - Ever heard someone declare something’s impossible? Well, prepare to prove them wrong as you tie a knot in a length of rope without ever letting go of the ends. And for the grand finale, watch as you untie the knot under equally baffling circumstances. *Gasp!*
Airplane Cards - A Cards Across effect that’ll have your audience gasping like they’ve just seen a double-decker bus fly by! Three chosen cards magically travel between two spectators. No false counts, no gaffs, and you can use any cards you like—no prep required. (Perfect for those “I forgot my props” moments.)
Mind Control - This routine serves up some laughs and a touch of intrigue as you reveal a message sealed inside an inflated balloon, reflecting the thoughts of five audience members. It’s a playful exploration of whether women are easier to influence than men. (Spoiler: the answer is probably not what you expect.)
The Inexplicable Bill in Lemon Effect - This is the kind of trick that gets people talking! A marked bill, in three different ways, is discovered inside a lemon that’s been sealed in a box held by a member of the audience. It’s one of Barrie Richardson’s most commercially successful routines—and guess what? It’s virtually self-working! (You’ll be the talk of the town.)
The Incredible Water Glass Suspension - A metaphor for letting go of our burdens—watch as you dip a wooden spoon into a large transparent glass of water, then remove your hand, leaving the glass suspended in the air. (It’s all about the magic of life, mate.)
A Gift to the Audience: To Risk - A heartfelt poem by Hedda Gold. If Barrie only had five minutes to choose between performing a trick or reciting a meaningful poem, he’d go for this one. It’s a favourite for a reason; it resonates with the audience. (Trust us on this one.)
