Comedian, magician, philanthropist, corporate spokesman, motivational speaker and more. Michael Finney has more sides to his life than a well-cut diamond. There is an authenticity to him that seems to disarm an audience instantly, causing everyone to feel as if a friend has just stepped on stage. One reason for the respect Finney gets from other professionals may be the incredible amount of entertainment he’s able to squeeze out of what seems to be so little. Give him a deck of cards, a pair of scissors, a rope and for the next hour the crowd can have the time of their lives! Finney’s confidence is a by-product of sincerity and the audience connects with it and feeds it back to him in a beautiful way. In Michael’s case, sincerity and authenticity transform a simple mixture of character, context, humor, and magic into something that not only entertains but inspires. It should be said that Michel Finney works clean! Many years of performing in comedy clubs have been assimilated into corporate work, creating an instinct for what’s appropriate at every venue – something his clients have learned they can depend on.
We expect this to be a sell out so if you plan on coming along can you contact secretary@forthvalleymagic.co.uk this will help us with the seating arrangements.
Kozmo will be presenting a lecture at Forth Valley Magic Circle on;
Wednesday, 11th May at 7.30pm,
At The Station Hotel,
2 Foundry Loan,
Larbert,
FK5 4AW
£10 admittance for non-members
Kozmo, hot off the cover of Magic Magazine, is the creator of Kozmo Magic, which is recognized as one of today’s premier magic video production companies. His “Reel Magic Magazine” continues to be the benchmark in the video magic industry. Kozmo, is acknowledged to be one of the top street performers in the world today
Kozmo will begin his lecture with a performance of his professional street act. This is a treat in and of itself. Kozmo will proceed to explain each effect in his street act. Kozmo pushes the envelope by teaching you why he has chosen each effect and why he has placed each effect where it is in his act.
You will hear Kozmo talk about conditions on the street. He will give you his thoughts on how to make your “hats” bigger. You will laugh at some of the anecdotes you will hear, including a great story about Harry Anderson.
Kozmo will show you how the principles of performing in the street can also be applied to the restaurant magic venue as well as the trade-show floor.
You may well jump for joy, as there is ONLY ONE card trick in the lecture. To some of you this may be your motivation to attend the lecture.
