RECENT
COMMENTARY ON TREVOR LEWIS
Report from I.B.M.
Convention, Los Angeles
Trevor Lewis triumphantly
commanded the next to closing spot, winning roars of laughter with his
lines and antics involving (believe it or not) the Linking Rings and Peter
Pit, who was called upon to adjust the microphone, remove unnecessary
rings, and added considerably to the fun. His inspired choice of the perfect
young man for his card stab routine, and his perfect handling of the lad,
added up to yet another delightful, laugh filled routine. He was the hit
of a very strong show.
Friday's lecture
opened with the Welsh wizard, Trevor Lewis, whose comical antics make
him a delight to watch. His appearance in the Thursday evening stage show
proved his ability as an entertainer and his knowledge of how to work
with children.
His lecture focused
on entertaining children with several great routines, including one with
a change bag and silks and another group participation idea with a dozen
kids and a string of beads. His flashlight throw-a-way was very funny
as he unscrewed a non-functioning flashlight only to discover that it
didn't have batteries but came on anyway while apart. Trevor's lecture
was a great addition to the Convention. Trevor Lewis, and Gene Anderson,
are two of the most professional of all part-time pros. Like Gene, Trevor
carefully considers every action and every word of his performance for
maximum impact, both with his magic and his one-liners. A F.I.S.M. award-winner
in cards, Trevor bounded into the room and immediately took charge with
a Six Card Repeat gag followed by an excellent Six Card Repeat routine
replete with gags. He told me later that he would rather see laughter
on faces than confusion. He closed with a superb Egg Bag routine and was
gone with no clean up leaving behind only warm feelings, bafflement &
good humour.
Report on Abbotts
Convention
Thursday evening
offered Trevor Lewis as emcee and an act. He was superb at both, although
he sang two songs with special lyrics and did not get a standing ovation
as he did in Los Angeles after one. His Card Stabbing routine with a youngster
was outstanding. Close up on Friday afternoon featured Mr Jupiter, Trevor
Lewis, John Rogers and George Shindler, all professionals, all giving
solid performances in difficult conditions.
Kidabra report. I
had folks comment that you put them in the clouds Tuesday night and they
stayed there for the rest of the week. Doesn't get any better than that!
Report on I.B.M.
Convention, Orlando
Trevor Lewis then
sauntered on stage to charm with a melodious dogrel especially composed
for the occasion based on the song "Falling in Love." I've never
heard him better. After that warm fuzzy, he got the show off to a rousing
start. Trevor then recruited a somewhat shy but obviously delighted-to-be-there
youngster from the audience and performed his charming and funny card
stabbing routine. Trevor's balloon blowing competition with Bobby was
both funny and pleasing because Bobby wins much to Trevor's apparent surprise
and chagrin. Bobby was rewarded with a balloon giraffe and stage money
and Trevor with a great round of applause. Trevor returned with a stand-up
comedy routine about the marital situation that even had his wife chuckling
as both partners in the relationship were "made sport of" in
ways that elicited warm laughter from the audience. Trevor's delivery
and timing gets the maximum out of each well-thought-out line. Trevor
surely is one of the top magical MC's in the world.
