Keith Barry Speaks Out About Failed Trick that Left Him Unconscious

Irish Illusionist Keith Barry has spoken out about a disastrous trick that left him unconscious during a performance last week.

The Waterford performer failed to successfully complete a trick that involved being tied to a chair with cling film tightly secured around his head.

Speaking to Breakingnews.ie, Barry said: “I blacked out from lack of oxygen.”

“I did black out and it was real and because it’s a real challenge.”

The show’s crew desperately went to Barry’s rescue when they realised the trick had gone wrong.

“The curtain apparently came slowly down while my manager ripped the cling film off my face and I came too and quite literally, I know this sounds terrible because people didn’t see this but I just started spitting all over him and spluttering all over him,” Barry continued. 

Ironically the gig was on Friday the 13^th.
