Charlie Caper & Malin Nilsson: More Minor Miracles – Adelaide Fringe 2023 Review
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ 5 stars for a delightfully charming magic show with lot of laughs
Review by Sharon Harrington
Honey-coloured vintage lamps light the darkened tent and scratchy 1920βs jazz tunes play in the background as Swedish magicians, Charlie and Malin, make their way on stage dressed in a tweed suit and Tim Burton-inspired black lace and top hat.
Both performers are understatedly funny and charismatic. Malin is wonderfully eccentric and full of quirky puns and playful commentary. Charlie has a warm hearted, bumbling professor vibe about him, sprinkling his magic tricks with witty banter.
Highlights from the show include classic sleight of hand style illusions: rings loop together and apart again in an impossible fashion; coke cans are pulled from empty shoes; and an audience memberβs diamond ring mysteriously materializes on someone elseβs hand.
There were other more unusual moments too, such as a lovely sequence of a mini robot mirroring Charlieβs every move and floating bubbles transforming into glass globes.
My little 6 year-old couldnβt contain her wonder at how it was all done. I was none the wiser either!
To quote Malin, βThis show will go down in history! Because all things doβ¦β
But seriously, More Minor Miracles will go down in Adelaide Fringe history as fantastic family entertainment. Check it out at Gluttony until the 19 March 2023.
