Cath Jamison - Knife & Razor

This Melbourne act pairs magic with mentalism, combining performance skill with readings of body language, gesture and behaviour. That second strand grew out of a personal interest in the psychology of human behaviour, studied alongside the magic itself. The credits list runs long: Crown, Star City Casino, Parliament House, the Sydney 2000 Olympics, the Australian Tennis Open, the Melbourne Concert Hall, Her Majesty's Theatre and the National Gallery of Victoria's Art After Dark among them, plus a spot in an attempt on the Guinness World Record for the world's longest magic show. Grants have come from the City of Melbourne's Cultural Affairs Arts fund and the City of Port Phillip, supporting original shows including Secret Life of a Woman and Carnival of Rustic Dreams.
