About Tim Motley

Magician and mind-reader Tim Motley performs through two characters: Dirk Darrow, the psychic detective of the world's only film noir comedy magical murder mysteries, and Barry Potter, a grown-up wizard headlining a family friendly Harry Potter parody. Both are story-driven theatrical productions built from astounding feats of mind reading and rapid-fire comedy.

The award-winning Dirk Darrow shows are part stand up, part mentalism, part theater, all gritty 1930's nostalgia, and have toured as six separate one hour theatre shows, playing at 60, 90 or 120 minutes. The wizarding production fills its realm with messenger owls and talking snakes. Tim has been performing professionally for 22 years in 53 countries, and his mind-reading and comedy act is a favorite of cruise ships, comedy clubs and private events.
