Phil Cass - his magic and comedy set him apart

Flashback to Variety Today 1994

HIS `comedy' sets him apart from other magicians and his `magic' sets his apart from other comedians. This is how the Variety Arts Theatre in Los Angeles described a performance of Phil Cass - and anyone who has seen him work, must certainly agree.

Winner of Best Specialty Act in the Australian Entertainment `MO' Awards two years running Phil has earned a reputation not only as a first rate illusionist of international standard, but also for being one of Australia's most polished and professional entertainers.

He has amazed audiences from Toowoomba to Los Angeles, performing eight seasons at the famous `Magic Castle' in Hollywood, also in Switzerland, Singapore, Noumea, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, Bangkok, Fiji, Philippines, at Expo `88 and continued club and corporate work throughout Australia.

Held in such high regard by members of his own profession, Phil has been invited to join international guests Mike Close and Chuck Fayne as a lecturer at the Australian Convention of Magicians to be held in Sydney's Boulevard Hotel from June 10 to 13 (1994). "I feel very honoured and am really looking forward to it," said Phil.

Phil will talk about his new book `Oh No! Not a Magician', demonstrate a few routines and explain the psychology behind his presentations, humour, attitude, technique and a couple of pet routines.

On June 15 (1994) at Rooty Hill RSL (west of Sydney), Japan Television will film Phil in action for a special series of five one-hour specials and in July he heads to Yokohama for the World Magician's Conference.

This year Phil has attracted `MO' nominations for Best Specialty Act and Versatile Variety Performer of the Year.
