The Stupendous Mr. Magichead

an accidentally funny magician

 

Performing to rave reviews in over 250 shows annually for the last 20 years has elevated magician John Sullivan to master status among children's entertainers.  Appearing as his kid show character The Stupendous Mr. Magichead, and accompanied by his dwarf rabbit Lulu, Sullivan stirs up a whirlwind of energy, silliness, and trickery that leaves the audience (young and old alike) howling for more. Mr. Magichead's rapport with the children is immediately obvious.  Instead of talking down to them, he talks to them, almost becoming one of them himself-seemingly just as amazed as they are by the magic happenings.

Hootin' and hollerin' are encouraged, but at the same time Mr. Magichead maintains a subtle control over the audience.  As one parent remarked, he is "able to create rapt attention one moment, and elicit squeals of delight the next".

Audience members are frequently invited onstage to assist, and Mr. Magichead's handling of them clearly demonstrate his respect for their intelligence, and his Zen-like ability to make them laugh.  And laugh they do.  One reporter counted 206 outbursts during a forty minute show. While the vehicle of the performance is magic, the journey is strictly for fun.

Scatterbrained, clumsy and oblivious, Mr. Magichead is a magician for whom magic is still a mystery. Circumstances constantly get the best of him, to his chagrin and the children's delight. However, to the amazement of all, everything works out perfectly in the end.  Just like magic.
