Jerry Sadowitz: Comedian, Magician, Psychopath 2014

With Dynamo and co bringing a fresh audience to close-up magic, the man that is still too controversial for TV was back with a mouth full of filth and a dexterity that is second-to-none.

This show featured a lot more card tricks and sleight of hand work than in previous visits and his skill was breathtaking (even without the promised projection screen). The ironic sexist, racist, abusive rants were still rife, which the audience found either hilarious or horrifying and the relentless pace, his incredible technique and the final trick, with its series of false fails, was truly amazing.
