I saw some things I could not believe my eyes.
If you search for “wizard peaking spinning light poi at edm festival” there’s a video of, well, exactly that. Alakazam feels like what’s playing in that wizard’s head at all times. And somewhere, in another dimension, a whole horde of magical mojo dillydally-ers are gathered around an orb, pondering Alakazam live. Truly, there is magic all around us.
Ben McCarthy is a shining example of what a clown should be: he plays, commits to a silly idea, takes it too far, makes a god-damn mess, and keeps going because he’s in too deep to turn back now. It’s a mostly wordless whirlwind that runs on audience wonder and whatever is in that steaming cauldron. You laugh, he levels up, and if you give him play, he turns it into something even bigger and more grotesque. In the magical realms, this is known as a very good time.
Don’t miss out before he returns whence, he came.
