Ava and Beaux: Tales of Magic

 
Ben Humphrey Review by Ben Humphrey 4 Published: 10 Aug 2024 PBH's Free Fringe @ Voodoo Rooms Show Dates: 3 Aug 2024-25 Aug 2024

Ava Beaux is no stranger to the Fringe, but this show feels like somewhat of a watershed moment for the captivating magician. Ava & Beaux: Tales of Magic incorporates her admirable skills as a master of magic with storytelling and character and the result is a charming, endearing and uplifting performance piece that cannot fail to put a smile on one's face.

An exciting talent that will no doubt grow into a magical stardom

Ava performs with dedication and skill as she blends magic and the telling of tales with ease. Her connection with the audience is absolute as she brings us with her on her journey and realisation of her ambition, and one of my favourite things about Ava's performance style is that she shares in the wonder that she creates as a magician rather than presenting indulgent 'look, I tricked you' moments that all to often accompany magical feats.

This is a show that is uniquely Ava's and it works. There is a definite skill to blurring the line between storyteller and magician at the same time as letting the audience into her process and how she arrived at the experience that she puts before us.

Hers is an exciting talent that will no doubt grow into a magical stardom. So, make sure you see her now... in time tickets for her shows will be like gold dust.
