IT’S nice to see that someone is actually catering for the whims and fantasies of Guyana’s children, as Vizion Sounds entity is poised to host one of the biggest kids shows ever at two locations in Guyana.The first show will be staged on July 26 at the Mackenzie Sports Complex Ground in Linden, while another massive show will explode at the DCC Ground in Queenstown, Georgetown on July 27.
And folks, this will be a kids’ show with a difference in that promoters will be bringing the Jamaican magician, ‘The Wizard’, who will be a climax feature at both events. Other attractions will include the popular ‘fire eater’ Shawn Thomas out of Linden.
Parents are urged to bring out their kids in all their numbers since the Dora and Sponge Bob characters will be hopping and prancing all over the place.
Trampoline, Ferris Wheel and Merry-Go-Around will bring extra excitement, as the kids are allowed to mingle and interact with their favourite cartoon characters.
MAGICIAN Kemarch ‘Wizard’ Dodd is not content with pulling rabbits from a hat. He prefers illusions of a grander scale. He was one of three magicians billed for Magic Madness held at MX3 Lawn in Negril, recently. The others were Andrew Campbell and Merrick Panton.
The former Tivoli Gardens Comprehensive student, who describes his show as “clean family fun”, has his sights on a bigger showcase.
“I would want to do a reality series TV show. It would be like that of American magician David Blaine, where I would meet everyday people in the street and perform magic,” he said.

Blaine is a renowned American illusionist who made his name as a high-profile endurance artist and street magician.
Dodd says there are illusions he would love to do for a wider Jamaican audience. “I could make a motor car disappear in thin air,” he said. “I have an arsenal of illusions to keep that show going on for years.”
Dodd says his love affair with magic began when he was 14. He said he would feed his desire by visiting the Tom Redcam Library in Kingston, daily.
“While visiting the library, I read up on how to do simple magic like making coins disappear and reappear, as well as simple card tricks,” he recounted.
“I’m way past that now,” he added.
His passion has afforded him the opportunity to perform at several North Coast hotels, as well as in Grenada, Curacao, and Guyana.
