Well, it was terribly disappointing. I don't doubt that Colin Fry has some psychic ability but this was like something out of a fairground.
He came onto the stage wearing an electric blue tonic suit [think godfather or good fellas] and patent[sp] leather winkle pickers and was sporting a rather natty mini-mohican!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't quite believe what i was seeing. He's either going through a midlife crisis, glad to be gay or has got his head firmly shoved up his on .
Anyway, all of this is superficial but I am just trying to set the scene. He clearly was run down and was struggling with his voice. Due to rubbish advertising, the theatre was half empty. I really got the impression that he was going through the motions.
There were a couple of good readings[truly psychic ones} in amongst a pile of rubbish. I didn't expect every reading to be life shattering but to be honest it was quite embarrassing. He was coming up with things that no-one would or could claim. After a while it became desperate and he was working with the most tenuous of links and it was apparent that the message was being changed and manipulated.
I think by this time he had had enough and came up with a few more obvious clues to try and get someone read. Using hints that really could have applied to anyone of a certain age in the audience. For example A wooden-lidded stereogram, ducks on wall, burt bacharach records etc.
By the end it had become excruciatingly [sp] embarassing. He came to a Japenese man, with a small timid lady who was advising him to brush up on his oragami skills and that his family would be attending a celebration with flowers on the water. The Japenese man's group were squirming with embarassment.
My final bug bear was that during the "any questions section", Colin Fry didn't really answer the very basic questions but managed to plug his book, cards,school etc.
I came away with a heavy heart feling very disillusioned. I suppose I had paid to see a show and this is what I got and presumerably spirits don't perform to order.
Sorry for going on!
