Aimed for children above the age of twelve, Javier Jarquin is a card dealing Ninja who quite literally aims at children. In his lethal hands harmless playing cards become Ninja stars of spinning destruction, or at the very least props on which his family orientated humour can be deftly practised. This family fun show targets the twelve year old in us all.
One has to wonder as he breaks out onto the stage without a soundtrack, how much volume - or mileage - one man can get from flicking multiple packs of cards around a room. The answer is a lot. With the help of all too willing audience members - or wannabe Ninjas – and a pack of everyday cards, Javier will impress you with his ability to harpoon foam from fifteen yards and lacerate latex in the blink of an eye. His easy, affable, enthusiastic manner does nothing to disguise his inner-Ninja however and he takes great personal offence, as all Ninjas do, when his abilities momentarily fail him in performing his death-determining feats.
A fun way to start the beginning of the day whether you’re a child or not. Like with most interactive shows, the more you put in the more you get out.
