Rua’s one-man shows have garnered him critical acclaim within the Irish performing arts world, with the Irish Theatre Magazine writing that “Rua has firmly established himself as a master in the dying, yet still fascinating, craft of live deception", and the Irish Times drawing comparison’s to some of Magic’s biggest legends, writing that “Rua clearly has Derren Brown within his sights". Rua’s first Fringe Festival show was called ‘Of Rogues and Knaves' and explored the world of the card cheat, the hustler and the pick-pocket. His second show was ‘Secrets For Sale', which was co-written and co-produced by IFTA Nominated Paddy Courtney, and explored a story about a Magician who had decided to use his skills to swindle and con people out of their money. Told from a jail cell, this unique magic show blended audio and visual technology to create a compelling one-man show that utilised a lot of audience participation to bring it to a jaw-dropping climax. The latest show is currently in the writing phase, and will be taken on the road soon.
