Mystic Monty

It should surprise no one that the ancient art of astrology with all its wonderful myths and

folklore has previously held little to interest the giant brains of Britain’s scientists who

are the best in the world for a fact. But now four of our leading mad inventors have come

up with a genuine fortune telling machine!

The boffins from the advanced doodling department at Avanti Display H.Q. have devised

a wonderful apparatus, which may truly be said to revolutionise the science of

superstition. ‘We have successfully interfaced the DNA of a subject with the previously

ignored digestive powers of a mechanical Equus africanus asinus’, they say. Yes that is

the secret of the machines almost uncanny powers. But what of its practical applications,

you ask. Well the sky’s the limit, sonny, but get this: imagine a proper scientific gizmo,

certified by top Profs that can actually predict the future. Impossible you cry. Igor,

remove the screen! You shall see for yourselves, dolts!

In this new piece Avanti shoot at the soft target of astrology. With beautiful automata

construction from Brian Tweddle, the surreal and oddball literary skill of Neil Hornick

and the comic insight and experience of Brian Popay this is a show to please the most

discerning arty type. Mystic Monty is a flexible piece that can be sited anywhere, indoors

or out. The audience will be treated to some truly unbelievable slight of hand tricks and

some lucky individuals will leave with an individual prediction card and a new respect

for the science of nonsense.

Mystic Monty can be consulted this year in Whitehaven on 30 May and Paradise Gardens

on 19th June

Stradivarius – or The Fiddle

Your power-packed ruler, Mars, promises you will excel at things you try for the first

time, like singing O sole mio while crawling into a swamp. People are more receptive to

your plans once they know they will be paid for agreeing with you. What starts as shared

laughter can grow into something deeper and more lasting, like complete mental

breakdown.
