Put your questions to Keith Barry, Mentalist of the year, magician and TV presenter

Darragh · 2010-01-07 20:23:21

To call Keith Barry a 'mentalist' is probably not an insult, given he won an award for same last year from the the International Magicians Society. He's currently on our TV screens on TV3's Deal Or No Deal - and from that website: and he's also currently on tour with his Keith Barry: The Asylum shows.…

yo keet.

You have said before that you dont believe in psychics, but many of the tricks or whatever that you do would be considered psychic i suppose or would be exactly the type of thing used by so called clairvoyants, so what exactly do u believe in is what im tryin to ask!? are these psychics all cowboys. like is what they do not psychic at all (as we preceive that word!), but just trickery basically!

EDIT. actually never mind mr keet. i saw that interview from previous page

Love the show, it works really well, Keith Barry is a great host and the show is much better than the UK version, also congrats to Mary who played so well and scooped the big prize!:D

How did it feel making a complete fool of yourself in the paper when you found out someone related to you actually committed the crime.

Can you predict how many more shows of "Deal or no Deal" you have left before they cancel it.(1-10 obviously)

How come you're back in Ireland working for TV3? Is this a long term deal? How much do they pay you per year? €40,000?

When will you answer all these questions?

We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

In your later life will you follow in the steps of Harry Houdini, and all the other great magicians, and devote your energy toward debunking self-proclaimed psychics, mediums and all other charlatans?

Folks, in order to get this thread in the right forum, I have moved it to our Magic & Illusion forum where it can reside properly.

Thanks

I had 2 tickets booked for opening night on Wednesday and due to the bad weather conditions and the cancellation of Dublin Bus services I was unable to attend the show.

I rang ticketmaster and the olympia and I've been denied either an alternative show or a refund. Other shows and venues have changed tickets and refunded money. Will you offer refunds?

The Olympia and Ticketmaster have said they wont. Will you? It seems incredibly unfair that ordinary paying customers who can not attend the show in such remarkable circumstances can not get some form of option. There has to be some form of refund policy on this.

I'd be really interested in an answer.

Don't worry about it mate - you're better off not having gone. They did you a favour not exchanging the tickets...

When doing the 'hand stab' with celebrities, does it take alot of effort to not laugh at them freaking out? (Elijah Woods reactions were brilliant!)

Who would be your favourite magician and why?
GOB from Arrested Development?

Got any space for a helping hand backstage or preshow?! Magician and Hypnotist always willing to learn more!
What do you think of the Magic scene in Ireland? Do you find a bit of a disconnect in the societies between the older generation and the younger? What could be done to improve things? Also, how can we attract more Magicians and budding magicians to our little forum here!?

Many thanks for doing this.

Have you ever injured yourself with your magic. Would you let your mother do the hand stab trick?

While trying not to derail the thread, Owen Lean once stabbed himself in the head with his version of that trick. (Owen used to preform alot on the streets of Dublin).

Do you honestly think Deal or No Deal will get a second series? Is the concept not a bit boring at this stage?

Keith: I got a big turn off your work when you stopped 'performing' as The Druid Master and started to become more mainstream. Do you plan to resurrect the Druid Master persona or are we to expect your future performances to be (let's be honest) lifted from the school of Derren Brown?

For what it's worth, I think there's a lot of untapped potential left in The Druid Master persona.
