On March 1, 2023, Australian native Ben Murphy entertained cruise ship passengers on an exclusive cruise. However, the finale of the popular card trick was interrupted by an unidentified man in the audience. Magik publicized the incident on social media a few days ago. The commentators are demanding action.
AVANTI24 OFFERS:
Despite his injuries, he finished the show
Murphy invited a woman from the audience on stage to perform one of his card tricks. The recording published on the network shows how during the final part the man puts a folded card into her mouth, repeats this action in his case, and then leans towards the new assistant so that the cards touch and eventually switch places. However, the final effect was ruined by a sudden incident. At the climax, an aggressive man ran up to the illusionist, pushed him off the chair and started pounding him with his fists. Some suggest that it may have been the jealous partner of the woman involved in the trick. Thanks to her intervention, the attacker was stopped and serious injuries were prevented. However, the magician informed that as a result of a head injury he had vision problems and the intervention of doctors, including a neurologist, was necessary. Despite the problems, he managed to finish the performance, which is praised by other illusionists.
If you’ve completed your program, you deserve an award. It takes superhuman strength to stay on stage after something like that.
Chris Herrick wrote on Instagram. Murphy added that he not only continued the show for another 25 minutes, but performed twice four nights later.
“shouldn’t enjoy the rest of the cruise”
Ben Murphy published a recording of the incident on his official social media profiles – TikTok and Instagram. The crowd can be heard booing the aggressor, but commentators demand a more firm response from the event organizers. The performer himself does not hide his indignation.
This is the attack I experienced on board. Entertainment, comedy and magic are NOT contact sports. This guy shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy the rest of the cruise.
Murphy added in the post description.
Internet users are of a similar opinion. Some of the commentators who witnessed the incident are also inclined to the version that the attacker was the partner of the woman invited to participate in the performance.
We watched it from about the fourth row and were disgusted to see the aggression of this man. The shock on your face and his partner’s face was very genuine. We felt so sorry for their child who witnessed this unacceptable behavior. You should definitely take further action.
We were in the audience and it was absolutely crazy! We assumed he should be locked up in his cabin for the rest of the voyage, and I’m furious that he didn’t. You did an amazing job continuing the show.
– they write. The identity of the perpetrator has still not been established and he has not been prosecuted by the organizers of the cruise.
