Magic and mischief

As the old saying goes, 'time flies when you're having fun”, and Baycourt Community and Arts Centre had an absolute blast delivering the inaugural Baycourt Presents Arts on Tour NZ in Tauranga show series this year.

But it's the end of the line for the seven-show series with the final two performances – The Messy Magic Adventure and Seven Deadly Stunts – taking place at The Historic Village Hall on Friday, November 23 at 3.30pm and 7.30pm.

Baycourt marketing coordinator David Tauranga says the two shows are the creation of Christchurch husband and wife duo Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman, of Rollicking Entertainment.

'Children will absolutely love The Messy Magic Adventure because it combines the best of circus, slapstick and magic in such a fantastically mesmerising and hilarious way,” says David.

'While grown-up kids, aka adults, will have a terrifyingly terrific time at Seven Deadly Stunts, which as the name suggests, features seven of the most notorious and seriously dangerous stunts in all of carnie history.”

The Messy Magic Adventure follows Spray and Wipe; two cleaners who've been hired to do housework at a magician's house.

But when they accidentally let the magic out of its box, they turn to the audience for help to get it back in the box before the magician comes home.

Rollicking Entertainment will then turn up the heat with Seven Deadly Stunts - a nail-biting and risqué experience offering audiences the freakiest side of circus, magic and sideshow.

Chainsaw juggling, walking on broken glass and other famous feats are performed along with the stories of how they came to be.

'It's fantastic to have Rollicking Entertainment deliver the final two shows of the Baycourt Presents Arts on Tour NZ in Tauranga show series,” says David, 'because Lizzie and Dave are both super talented performers who command the stage masterfully and are extremely engaging to watch.”

Tickets for The Messy Magic Adventure cost $15 per person, while tickets for Seven Deadly Stunts cost $24.90 for an adult, $15 for a child (18 and under), and $22 for seniors (65-plus) and Friends of Baycourt.

Tickets are available online from Ticketek at: www.ticketek.co.nz, by phone on: 0800 TICKETEK or over the Baycourt Box Office counter. Ticketing service fees apply.
