Keith Barry – Brain
Hacker // 28 Apr
Keith Barry has established
himself as Ireland’s biggest
touring entertainment star with
a series of sell-out shows and
smash-hit record-breaking
theatre runs. Now a household
name as part of ITV’s brand-new Saturday night entertainment format
You’re Back in the Room, he brings his show Brain Hacker on a UK tour.
Brain Hacker promises to be a show that you won’t forget in a hurry. Using
a combination of mind control, deception, mentalism and hypnotism, Keith
hacks the brains of his audience to unlock a safe, move inanimate objects,
and enter into the world of the paranormal.
