Worth considering

Tim Motley is a natural comedian and illusionist in “Barry Potter and the Magic of Wizardry.” For a young teen in the audience who’s read all the Harry Potter books, Motley’s references were especially knee-slapping. But even for an attendee unfamiliar with Harry Potter, the show was amusing and fun. Motley’s magic show isn’t high-tech or flashy; the show is clever and built on getting the audience involved. It’s a light-hearted escape for all ages. Motley is a well-traveled, award-winning Fringe performer, and this is first time here. He’s a welcome addition to Minnesota Fringe.

Presented by Racing Sloth Products at HUGE Improv Theater; 10 p.m. Aug. 4, 5:30 p.m., Aug. 6, 8:30 p.m. Aug. 9, 7 p.m. Aug. 11
