Charlie Caper & Malin Nilsson: Minor Miracles – Adelaide Fringe Review – 5 stars
How do you make a handful of glitter funny? Put it in the hands of a consummate magician with immaculate timing, that’s how.

Tim has two alter egos – Pricasso who begins the show and Speedy da Vinci, the showman of the second half. Pricasso demonstrates his skills and explains in great detail his techniques and the process. At...
