Unlucky-in-love magicians Kevin McMahon and Alan Hudson are on a mission
to get girlfriends – by dazzling them with jaw-dropping tricks.
The
shy pair have even prepared a new stage show to impress the ladies, which
they hope will see them trying out their sleight-of-hand techniques
somewhere other than the Magic Circle.
In Magic To Get Girls By, Kevin and
Alan demonstrate how comedy and magic can be used by single guys as an
alternative to cheesy chat-up
lines.
Kevin, 28, of Edinburgh, said: “We’re both nice blokes but
we find it really difficult to talk to women. We agreed it was much easier
to approach the fairer sex with a few tricks up our sleeves, so we decided
to do a stage show about it – and hopefully pick up girlfriends
while we’re at it!”
Kevin has had a fair amount of female attention before – as he
starred in Channel 4’s hit series, Faking It. The show’s
team turned him from a geeky physician to a top-class magician in just
four weeks; enabling him to fool magic legend Paul Daniels into believing
that he was a pro.
Since then, he has quit his job as a scientist to become
one of the most sought-after magicians in the UK and abroad.
Alan, 32, from
Hull, has been a magician since he was just 10 years old and has performed
his fresh and exciting brand of trickery all over
the world. He said: “It gets lonely when you’re on the road
performing all the time, so it would be great if we could meet a couple
of nice girls through doing the show.”
