Dirk Darrow Investigations—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio

Australian Tim Motley (magically cursed with an American accent) returns with a new concept, deviating from his Fringe favourite persona of detective Dirk Darrow.

Tim is great with the audience and kind and gentle with nervous and sometimes unwilling audience recruits. There’s no doubt he’s a master of card tricks and sleight of hand, but his running through the whole card deck bit went on too long and the natives were getting restless (especially the younger ones).

His final trick with the envelope was Crazy Good and was a great finale. I’ve seen every one of his shows, and to be honest, really want Dirk back! When you have a great recipe, you don’t mess with it!
