Nicholas Tweedy's Biography
With his incredible and rare talents Nicholas Tweedy has stunned
audiences all around the world, from the dark old European forests of
Transylvania to the bright lights of Las Vegas Boulevard. As an entertainer
Nicholas is one of the last remaining mentalists performing today. In a world
where most people have forgotten what mentalism is Nicholas is redefining the
art with every performance.
As credit cards fly through the air, business cards burst into flames,
solid objects twist and warp, Nick reads people's thoughts, makes impossible
yet correct predictions, reality as you know it is not just suspended, but bent
completely out of shape. With style, charm and humour Nicholas Tweedy
captivates his audience, holding them completely within his spell. He has the
same effect on everyone from the roughest, tattooed working man through to CEOs
of multinational companies, they gasp in awe and ask - How did he do that?" and "How did he know that?"
Born right outside Washington DC, Nicholas moved with his family to
Japan at the tender age of 5. It was there that he met Hiroshi Demura, who
would become his mentor for a 12 year apprenticeship in the performing art of
mentalism. Since completing his studies Nicholas has gone on to create his own unique
style of performing combining traditional magic with cutting edge mentalism.
Early in his career Nicholas teamed up with other illusionists and was
one of the founding members of the very controversial The Nomadic Magicians
Group, performing in countless venues across the US including the world famous
Improv Comedy Club and Musicom Media's music festivals, where he shared the
stage with internationally renowned rockers Pantera, Drowning Pool and Static
X. In these early shows Nicholas was very literally ripping people in half with
chainsaws and beheading random audience members with his massive guillotine.
In 2005 Nicholas left The Nomadic Magicians to strike out on his own and
to go back to his roots in mentalism. Nicholas' first international destination
was Transylvania, Romania where he very literally had the entire country
talking about his orgasm routine. Videos from Romanian news broadcasts have
even found their way to You Tube.
Today Nicholas calls Adelaide, Australia his home, but continues to
travel both within and without Australia, splitting his time performing both
publicly in cabaret style performances and private corporate shows. Nicholas'
international corporate clients include some of the largest names in their
fields.
Perhaps it's the Japanese influence, but Nicholas doesn't have the
brashness often expected of performers from the US, in fact he's rather modest
about his unusual abilities and always remembers to give credit to his mentor.
It's his peculiar looks, with the extra long braided goatie that first attracts
attention, and perhaps the way the occasional object around him forgets to obey
the laws of gravity. It's only as he notices that he's drawn some curiosity
that the true consummate performer in him comes out and then things take a turn
toward the completely bizarre.
