Jasper Blakeley as Kockov

Vladimir Dimitri Kockov, hails from the former Soviet Republic of Monrokvia, where, until the winter of 1989, he lived with his 17 brothers and sisters.The Oheavy-accented-tight leather-trousered-mullet-hairdoed¹ master magician, is now a resident of Barry Island in South Wales, and enjoys nationwide and international performances throughout the year.

'Kockov¹ is the award-winning alter-ego of Jasper Blakeley, one of the UK¹s newest and most exciting comedy magic performers.

Since turning professional in 2003, Jasper has already won several accolades, including double winner of both the prestigious Cardiff Magical Society¹s Stage & Cabaret Award and the Ken Perks Award for Close-Up Magic.

But after doing so much corporate work, Kockov has now found that he prefers the more real 'stand-up' environment.

With a recent sell out show at Wales's premier Arts Venue, Chapter in Cardiff, Kockov and his friends (2 other deranged 'magic' characters performed by Jasper) easily manages to keep the laughs coming in his 90
minutes one-man show.

Style ­ although there are many who can produce similarly stunning magic, there are few performers who can combine this skill with the quick wittedness of a comedy club performer whilst maintaining the illusion of
being another character. Kockov is such a man.

Comedy Cabaret ­ with a highly polished 45 minute mental-magic cabaret show, Kockov progressively reveals more and more of the inner thoughts of the audience. From card predictions and psychological influencing, to reading the exact thoughts of four members of the audience. Always putting his own comic spin on these impressive feats of the mind, Kockov makes you laugh right up until the last insane stunt ­ LIVE RUSSIAN ROULETTE !

Finale ­ recognized within the magic world as the most dangerous of stunts, Russian Roulette is an unforgettable piece of live theatre. Kockov however has taken it to another level with his unique presentation,
making him the only person in the world licensed to perform 4 gun OLive Russian Roulette¹.

Real tension, Real drama, Real Live Russian Roulette

With sets running from 10 minutes to 90 minutes.
