We covered the phenomenal brother and sister team DiArchy when they duplicated (or exceeded) David Blaine's Frozen in Time stunt back in April, 2005. (Quinlan's Inside Magic "Two Magicians Break Blaine's Ice Record" by Tim "Smitten and Frost Bitten" Quinlan)
We recently received a nice note from DiArchy and visited their web site to see how they were doing.
They are doing very well.
The world-wide press coverage they rightly received as a result of
their public performance has apparently encouraged the team to continue
to produce magic scenes (as opposed to magic tricks or illusion sets)
with commercial appeal.
Please visit their site to check out a wonderful melange of
Metamorphosis, Losander's Floating Table, and The Lean. It really is
impressive and beautiful. It is the type of magic we love to watch and
know we could never pull off.
DiArchy draws on their family's circus tradition and their study in
performing arts to present magic tricks as essential elements of a
well-designed scene.
They do not fall into the bombast of Cirque du Soleil (and we love Cirque du Soleil
– we just hate to see magicians trying and failing to duplicate the
style in their acts). But their approach is decidedly not your
father's illusion show.
We hope they will make it to America soon. We'd love to meet our
internet friends in person; although we will likely be speechless.
We tend towards worrying about things we cannot control and DiArchy is
a perfect subject for our angst. We fear magicians in our midst will
borrow or steal their style, their performances, or maybe their whole
act.
Because they are not yet on the U.S. magic scene, the thief will receive credit for remarkable innovations in our craft.
