Keith Barry’s Hollywood moment..

Keith Barry’s Hollywood moment..

It’s been said that Keith Barry has created a monster. Not Now You See Me 2 – the star-studded illusionist caper, which, despite some mixed reviews Stateside, is actually rollicking good fun – but rather Woody Harrelson, whom Barry skilled up on magic tricks for Harrelson’s role in the movie. Barry’s brand of illusion has apparently become such a part of Harrelson’s going out shtick that he’s now “doing it everywhere he goes, hypnotising people all the time”, the Waterford-born illusionist tells me. 

Dave Franco, another cast member, was an even quicker study, Barry tells me. “I handed him a deck of cards and within a couple of days he was at the level of a semi-professional magician.

NYC mentalist repeats as men’s Long Island Marathon champion

Oz Pearlman, a star on last years AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, pulled another one out of his hat.

The Manhattan magician and mentalist who won last year’s Long Island Marathon staged a repeat at Sunday’s rain-soaked affair, finishing first in an unofficial time of 2:29.15. Queen’s Emiliano Garcia, originally from Mexico, placed second.

The 33-year-old Pearlman, a self-proclaimed “running junkie” flashed a set of cards as he crossed the Eisenhower Park finish line – his trademark – before tossing them in the air. Thanks to NEWSDAY for the info. Please visit them at:

‘If I’m buying a new house or car, I’ll use any technique I can to get them cheaper’ – Keith Barry

‘If I’m buying a new house or car, I’ll use any technique I can to get them cheaper’ – Keith Barry

He has messed with the minds of some of the world’s biggest stars, from Morgan Freeman and Keanu Reeves to Nicole Scherzinger and Woody Harrelson, so meeting mentalist and hypnotist Keith Barry one-to-one is a slightly intimidating affair, to say the least.

Fresh from his success on the ratings-topping ITV show You’re Back in the Room with Phillip Schofield, which has now been commissioned for a second season and has also been recorded for Australia’s Channel Nine, Keith is excited to be back in Ireland to tour with his latest stage show ‘Out of Control.’ Read more..
