Quick Change Artists perform for Saudi Royalty

Also while the British Quick Change Artists were away in India, they had a last minute inquiry for a show in Morocco which was happening on the coming weekend.

The Quick Change Act were due to leave India on the Saturday morning and arrive in London on the Saturday night, so thought it would not be possible. However, fortunately for them the show was put back until the Monday which meant they were able to take on the show.

They left India on the Saturday morning as planned, arrived in London around 9pm Saturday night and left for Morocco at 5am on Sunday morning, barely even time for a shower, the quick change illusionists headed to Morocco to perform at what they thought would be a standard corporate event.

The received 5* treatment all the way and when they found out who they were working for it came as a pleasant surprise!

The British Quick Change Artists had been hired to perform a 4 minute version of their Quick Change Act for the King of Saudi Arabia, his brother the Prince of Saudi Arabia and a few close friends of theirs.

The event was held at one of their Moroccan palaces and the performance took place under the stars over looking the ocean. It certainly was an incredible experience and when Keelan and Charlotte met the Prince after the performance he gave them fantastic complements and said that he hadn't seen anything like their act in all his years of traveling which was a wonderful complement for the Quick Change Artists.

They were working with several other artists including a Hand Balancing Act from Cirque du Solei, a drag queen, several troupes of dancers and a juggler.

It was a very brief trip but a brilliant experience and opportunity for the Quick Change Artists, who hope to work for the King and Prince in the future.

While the Quick Change Artists were away in India performing for ESPN and Star Sports Channel, they extended their trip as they were invited to performed for the British High Commissioner of India at an event that was another celebration of the Cricket World Cup.

Keelan and Charlotte were honored to perform at this private event and got to meet the High Commission himself and a lot of the British staff working at the British Embassy in India, which was a pleasant surprise to perform for Brits outside of the UK.

Quick Change Artists Appear on Britain's Got Talent!

Keelan Leyser and Charlotte Marie, the British Quick Change Artists appeared on the popular TV show - Britain's Got Talent last week on the final show of the auditions.

The British Couple who have been performing their Quick Change Act for the past 3.5 years auditioned for the show back in January. They went straight into the 2nd round after they were head hunted by the shows producers to appear on Britain's Got Talent. They were asked to appear for the first 2 series but had always been working abroad and weren't able to make it back to the UK for the auditions. In 2009 they were in the UK, so auditioned at the Hammersmith Apollo, London in front of the three judges; Simon Cowell. Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and a packed theatre of 4000!

They performed a shortened 2 minute version of their usual 8 minute Quick Change Act which went down a storm with the entire audience and all the judges. They received a standing ovation for their quick change act and were put through to the live semi finals of the show.

Unfortunately, between the auditions and the live semi finals, the Quick Change Artists received a booking for a tour of India for Sports Channel giant ESPN, so were unable to perform in the live semi finals as the dates clashed!
