Magic Sho waves her magic wand and a small white rabbit suddenly appears.
She saws the rabbit in half* and produces carrots from behind its ears,
It’s all going really well – so why does the rabbit look so sad?
A brand new show for 5-8 year olds featuring a rabbit who never misses a trick and a magician who sometimes forgets to say the magic word.
*Please note: no rabbits (not even toy ones) are harmed in this show
The tricks may be basic, but Reppe executes them perfectly (“That’s magic!” shrieked one little boy joyfully mid-show) and her humour crosses the generations with intelligence and charm.
It doesn’t take long for the performer to draw her young audience into the story. Indeed, one of the show’s main pleasures lies in watching the kids engage wholeheartedly with the action.
It’s like Paul Daniels and Bugs Bunny starring in a production of Ronald Harwood’s The Dresser.
Terrifically enjoyable.
Shona Reppe channels Paul Daniels in Magic Sho
