Written and performed by Jamy Ian Swiss Vanity Fair (August 2000) proclaimed: “Don't miss astonishing magician Jamy Ian Swiss” at the New York International Fringe Festival. Read Fringe Benefits to see what the Village Voice had to say about the Honest Liar. Bridget Dengel of Broadway.com wrote: “Jamy Ian Swiss is the only man in the Fringe who can read minds and has an intermission. Dressed elegantly in a black suit, this quintessential showman amazes us with his sleight of hand. Pulling people from the audience, he doesn't just have them pick a card, he has them think of one and he guessed three out of four right. How does he do it? He swears it's deception because he says, 'If it were real I would be leading a congregation.' That's what makes him an 'honest liar.' Between the tricks, which he lets the audience watch very closely, he jokes around and tells warm tales of his father who supported his interest in magic. Whenever Jamy would get frustrated when he was practicing a trick, his father would say, 'Remember how wonderful it felt when you first saw that trick?' Lucky for everyone, Jamy has become a world expert on magic that truly entertains and boggles the mind as he practices 'expert sensory deception.' But he aptly quotes Picasso who says, 'All artists are liars--who help us recognize the truth.'” |
