Pop Haydn's Stage Magic

Pop Haydn's Stage and Standup Magic

Pop Haydn is not originally from the 21st Century, but as a time-displaced huckster, con man, showman and vaudevillian, he feels right at home in this contemporary era or, in fact, in any environment. Pop is supremely adjustable.

On stage, Pop Haydn combines wit, humor and audience participation with unbelievable sleight-of-hand to weave a spell of enchantment and fun. With the look and character of the Old West gambler, or the turn of the century medicine pitchman, Pop has sincerity and believability down pat. With his genial warmth and wry wit, Pop makes you want to believe in magic, and with a mischievous wink, he makes it happen.

Pop proposes to teach how some of the classic feats of magic are done; but as the explanation progresses, so does the confusion as magic just seems to happen, and the audience, the on-stage volunteers, and the magician are caught up in a mystifying web of comedy and pure magic.

Using everyday objects such as an egg, a rope, a scarf and a newspaper, Pop turns classic magic inside out–the magician seems lost as the magic happens in the hands of the spectators.

Pop has four different thirty-minute shows, as well as a one-hour show. He can perform in even the most difficult circumstances, whether on stage, in a banquet room, or three-quarter-round cabaret, and in front of any size audience.

Because he depends on pure sleight-of-hand rather than large mechanical props or technical lighting and stage effects, Pop's stage, music and lighting requirements are kept to a minimum.
