RICHARD
BELLARS'URBAN ILLUSIONS' STYLES: TV URBAN, STREET & CLOSE UP MAGIC & CABARET
At
just 25 Richard is already recognised as one of the most talented
and exciting young magic performers in the World today. This
rising star catches even the harshest cynics off-guard with his
easy, laid-back style of close-up, street and down right spooky
magic but don't be fooled by his youthful appearance for a moment
- for behind the engaging smile lies...
...a
sharp and clever mind with over 15 years experience in the black
art of sleight-of-hand/mind.
There
has rarely been a day since aged 9 when Richard hasn't had a
deck of cards in his hand or an audience to play to and he never
fails to leave his audiences with a bewildered and astonished
expression. Don't expect to get any sleep the night after you
have experienced the immaculate magic of this world class close-up
performer - you'll be too busy working out how the hell he did
it.
Richard
Bellars is supported by the UK's top professional magic suppliers
Alakazam and currently filming a series of instructional DVDs
for their world class Urban magic training series and is also
planning a David Blaine inspired world record magic endurance
attempt "Hands of Time" hopefully taking place in Summer
2008...
IWith
a performance portfolio already under his belt that that many
older and greyer practitioners would be envious of. He's even
managed to baffle the great David Blaine - a colleague he openly
admires and supported through his London glass box ordeal "Above
The Below", and was heavily featured in the TV documentary
about the event "Below The Above" due to be aired soon
we understand.
Richard
also appeared on the entertainment analysis "Showdown"
debate for the Harvey Goldsmith show "Get Your Act Together"
broadcast on E4 in April 2007.
Richard is no stranger to endurance
feats - In 2003 he took part in a fund-raising event to be filmed
for DVD, "Cold Illusions", performing in the open air
for three days solid in December sub-zero temperatures supported
by friends, passers-by and the local press - before being whisked
off to thaw out in hospital and prevent the onset of frostbite
and hyperthermia!
On the other end of the temperature scale, some of his audience
are so impressed with Richard's trickery they invite him to the
fashionable Gulf hot spot Dubai for a regular residency entertaining
the great the good and superrich in shoppers paradise Mall Of
The Emirates and the swanky Burj-Al-Arab - the World's best hotel.
Richard completed filming of his first TV close-up magic series,
'Urban Illusions' in 2005 after being signed up to a series deal
with Sound TV as the flagship show for their relaunch - not bad
for a first major venture onto the small screen. Sadly despite
all the hard work that went into the making of the series it
is now unlikely to be aired due to the demise of the station.
However
this will not be Richard's last TV opportunity, and the word
on the media street says we can expect to see a lot more mind-bending
and eye-boggling TV illusions in the future courtesy of the exceptionally
talented Mr Bellars.
