It’s taken bit to get to posting about this, but about a month ago I went out to see Wes Barker‘s show when he was in Seattle. Before the show I met up with Eric and Alyss Stevens for a quick drink.
Then on the walk to the venue, we ran into another magician Brian. When we got to the venue, we ran into Wes taking tickets.
There was a miscommunication about booking a ticket taker with the venue, so Wes did it. He was great taking tickets. He handled it really well and was essentially an opening act to his show. The show was Wes and two comedians.
Wes is a great example of what a modern magic show is. Not a ton of props and a lot of personality. There was one idea in his show that I thought was amazing and wish I had thought of it. The whole show is really great with a lot of surprises. If he’s in your area, it’s totally worth checking out his show!
After the show Eric, Alyss, Brian and I had a little magic jam.
I do love seeing shows that inspire me to be better!
