COMMENTS ON THE MAGIC MOD PERFORMING

From the second The Magic Mod walks on the stage, he owns it! Immediately engaging with the audience with a rock’n’roll swagger! Booming confidence!  Blasting through an incredible set of tricks that leave you completely baffled! From amazing one handed shuffles and cards flying through the air, to seem-less sleight of hand!
Mind reading trickery along with entertaining stories! The Magic Mod smashes it every time! The devil himself at work!  Wherever The Magic Mod is performing, it will always be … ‘A Town Called Modgic’.

COMMENT FROM THE BAND

Joel Gion, The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Our opening act for the entire UK leg of the tour is The Magic Mod, a mod magician who is traveling with us on the bus. A master at card tricks and illusion, his addition to the stage not only gives the evening’s proceedings an Ed Sullivan Show variety program-type vibe, but him taking on a crowd that is only here for music is something to see in itself. The bravery to contend with the rowdy ‘punters’ and win them over single-sleight-of-handedly takes nerve, but when you’re good and you know who you are its just another night.

Why not? I'd rather watch someone like yourself breaking normal conventions than some dull as dishwater rehash of every indie band from the past 4 decades playing songs no one will remember the minute they leave the stage. Carry on doing what you're doing. It's great!

@TaylorMod is a headliner in their own right (or soon will be). Something a bit different but what would you expect from BJM! @soundcarriers are fabulous too if magic ain't your thing.

Of course. I am an unashamed fan of the skill of a good magician, not dissimilar to that a good musician. Magic Mod is up there with the best and doing it alway in style.

Absolutely love them, I try so hard to work out how you do it but at the end of the day I don’t have a clue.

 Watched The Magic Mod support BJM after watching loads of Magic Mod Mondays and he defiantly didn’t disappoint stylish funny and Modgic. Pretty sure The Magic Mod will be headlining his own tour very soon. To be someone must be a wonderful thing, a famous footballer, a rock singer, or a magician?

I’m sat there, then BANG, the main man, Mr Modgic himself, is on stage. Cool as fuck and taking the piss from the off. I like his presence straight away. He’s confident but not annoying. Knows how to work the crowd, and is a master of his trade. The tricks are tricky and magic is magical. The crowd are on it and in it. It’s all over too quickly. Get back on stage Mr Modgic! This IS the Modern World x
