FRINGE 2015 – Arrested, Under-Developed & Under-Medicated – Published Arthouse – 4K

By Peter Maddern

If magic shows are your thing, then this show is a must see. Krendl is an American, bald (covered with a nifty hat) and in a tuxedo who has a substantial pedigree in the trade (he has a DVD out as he kept telling his audience). In this 90 minute show, he dishes up a series of captivating tricks, mostly with the help of audience members that astound and confound in equal measure – rope tricks, razor blades down the throat, disappearing money and so on.

In the eclectic Published Arthouse, the show is far beyond your standard Rundle Mall busker and the man himself sustains a frothy enthusiasm even in the face of a meagre crowd (which is actually somewhat of a travesty – still with the Fringe you have to start somewhere.)

A bit of a sleeper I suspect this Fringe and certainly well worth checking out in his final two shows next Friday and Saturday evenings.
