6 Quick Dick Tricks: A Dirk Darrow Investigation

Tim Motley—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio

He’s baaaack! Our Australian friend has created a persona that works and brings his loyal fans the next chapter. He has perfected a formula that never fails to charm and amaze, and we can’t get enough. I pouted long and hard at having to miss last year’s show. Very few in the audience were first timers, which speaks to the caliber of his show.

Tim Motely’s character of a detective, “dick” coming from the forties slang, has a sublime blend of naughtiness, far from PC patter and amazing magic feats that is unique. Cries of “How does he do it?” were heard throughout the show. Don’t expect to just sit there; this is an audience participation show and you will love it. A lot of the many laughs were had at the expense of some of his not so willing volunteers. Even the reluctant ones were won over by the end by his winning ways. Don’t be a dick and miss this show!
