Right from his living room - the magician Hezi Din in an interactive show you didn't know • You are not just the audience - you are also the participants • Join now!
Join now for an interactive magic show with Hezi Dean!
Last weekend, Hezi Dean posted a video to his Facebook page, where he uploads a bottle of "Corona" beer. It was his not entirely implicit response to a joke that he had heard from too many people on the street recently, and his unique way of responding to the matter. "I explained to them that it was a corona beer, not a corona virus. I was a magician and let go of the joke," he says with a laugh. But interestingly, and not as usual, referrals to him these days do not necessarily seek medical aid.
"I had 37 shows closed, and then as in magic they all disappeared and I had to reinvent myself according to the situation."
"Usually, I get 'help me recover' requests, but most requests during the Corona period revolve around entertainment. Lots of requests for greetings, to send friends a good word, to pass the time, to have fun. I haven't even received a single request at the health level." Says Dean. "I think some people say that they do not understand this epidemic - they do. They do not understand the supernatural. In a normal situation, I get requests, Allah Yasur."
When it comes to entertainment, he can definitely help. Tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm, he will upload to Israel Today's Facebook Live, where he will have an interactive performance with the audience at home. This is a new kind of show that it has recently developed, especially for platforms like Zoom and Facebook - no matter what, most of your show is based on direct contact with an audience.
"The truth is I didn't believe it would work, this story of shows that are not in front of an audience present," he said. "March was supposed to be one of the craziest in my life. I had 37 shows closed, of which I made two. Then as in magic they all disappeared and I had to reinvent myself according to the situation."
Performer needs his audience.
"That's right, for two things: First thing - all the fun is seeing the magic ten inches away from the eyes and saying 'It's amazing! Second thing - as a magician I have to touch, lead the audience to do the things I want him to do to make the magic succeed.' To reinvent myself is not just to say, "Okay, let's zoom in" as standupists do, let's say. For magic to go through the screen, it has to be something very sophisticated, because the whole thing is that I ask you to do something through the screen and keep it in sync. A lot of people fly over it. "
Do you miss a live audience?
"What is happening right now is not an ideal situation, but there is something that makes the matter even more special. People say, 'Listen, man, I was not there and he made me here magically.' There are comments that are sometimes more powerful than a regular show. The screen. I can guarantee that after the broadcast is over, people will wonder what the hell happened here. It's a commitment. Distance or not distance. "
There are also benefits to discovering remote?
"You finish the show and immediately go to the kitchen, eat and drink. I can also appear in socks."
