Home grown
hypnotist Robert Temple is bringing his controversial Live and Outrageous show
to the Sunderland Empire for one night only, Wednesday 1 August 2018.
His
appearance at Sunderland Empire comes during a break from his marathon UK tour
which will see him perform in theatres from Dorset to Dundee.
He ‘cut his
teeth’ performing hundreds of shows for audiences of lively tourists in Kos and
Corfu and fresher students and although his hair is red what comes out of his
mouth is definitely blue.
His dad was
a stage hand at Sunderland Empire and, growing up in Sunderland, Robert – then
a budding magician - saw countless pantomimes, shows and concerts on the
mesmerising stage.
“He’s 75 now
and still tells stories about the old days at the theatre, so I suppose it’s
about time I had stories of my own,” said 30-year-old Robert, who already has a
colourful career under his belt.
The show is
edgy and outrageous but falls in line with the strict regulations governing
stage hypnotism. “Nobody has ever done a show like this on a scale like this.
The audience knows what’s in store when they buy a ticket and nobody is
hypnotised against their will. It’s an evening where people can forget all about
their inhibitions – literally,” he added.
Robert’s
stage persona and appearance are in stark contrast to the angelic-looking young
boy who posed for pictures with his hero Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee.
He was one
of the UK’s best young magicians, but turned his back on magic when he was a
teenager and discovering hypnotism.
“When
somebody shows you a card trick you think it’s clever, but you know it’s a
trick. With hypnosis there’s this air of mysticism. That’s one of
the reasons why people come to my shows, but it’s just the starting point for
the entertainment,” he said.
Paul
Daniels, who died in 2016 remains his inspiration. “We’d talk at magic
conventions and I would e-mail him and he would reply. He didn’t ever
come to the North without me seeing his show. Watching him perform was like
attending a master class for anybody wanting to be involved in comedy
entertainment,” said Robert.
