anyone see him on telly....like david blane but less of a ****....

 

really really good

[Smirking_Saint]

True, very good, but the cynical side of me says this is another fool the viewer and make some cash quick scam.

 

I.e All the little tricks I would say was his slight of hand, which he is fantastic at. (did you see when he scared the black bloke ? With the coin trick ? He had it on his shoulder for the whole trick, the way that it was shown drew your attention) But I wonder, like for instance the air horn trick, that is Impossible, that simply could not happen, and so the cynical side of me says that a lot of it invloves stooges.

 

Nevertheless, he is a far better person to david blane.

[Huntingdon]

Did anyone see last weeks when he blew a horn 3 times, and on the third he was standing on another building?

I can only guess the victims were actors because they looked pretty freaked out

 

Whatever the trick, it was bloody impressive

[sussexsaint]

A nice guy who is superb at misdirection. Certainly better 'live' sky+ is not the friend of some of his magic.

[JackFrost]

If they don't say something along the lines of "The tricks performed in this show are down to showmanship, misdirection bla bla bla and no actors or stooges are ever used" at the beginning of the show, it basically means they use actors/stooges in every trick

He is very impressive, especially live

 

He oftens says himself that he is cheating, but just doesnt want the viewer to believe he is, so acknowledges that it is all showmanship.

 

Still, some of the stuff he does is very hard to work out

 

His better stuff is on youtube, where it has not been edited for TV, especially the Adidas stuff in Miami

He is brilliant. First heard of him when he was on Soccer am (worth looking up on Youtube)

 

The best thing about him seems to be his attitude. He just comes accross as a really down to earth guy who is good at what he does.

Some of his tricks are bloody brilliant. but some of them I have been doing to my kids for years. Coin on the shoulder and coin in the coke can for instance.

 

I like his card tricks allot but could do without the stooged tricks.

I liked it when he climbed through a glass window in front of Rio Ferdinand (and a street full of people) when hidden behind a coat. The people on the street could see exactly what he was doing though as they were on the other side of the coat, and all looked amazed. But it was obviously a trick somehow as humans clearly cannot travel through glass, so however he done it, they saw it. Still, I was impressed.

The doorway was just to the right behind the security. He just crawled past them and round the other side. The people outside watching were not there when he did that and were recorded seperately. Look again at the girls on the left. They were watching the window direction the whole time and didnt batter an eye lid. You would of thought that had they seen someone walk through glass or even crawl through the door they would have looked a little bemused at least. So the people outside were recorded seperatly with something going on at the window for them to at least look a little impressed.

 

I would love to know how he does the falling back trick though. Got to be some kind of support on the back of his leg but bloody clever.

Tell me how he manages to put an iphone in a bottle that had drink in it previously, or put a ring taken from someone's finger on to a stem of a wine glass

[Thedelldays]

he is obviously brilliant...and fair play to him

shame he is northern though

[Gigersaint]

Or dropping that blokes ring over the side of the ferry where he saw it splash into the water, then shook his foot with the ring tied to his shoelace.

 

Although I'm very sceptical about their abilities, I find exceptional magicians great entertainment!

Both have to be with some kind of false bottle/glasses as far as I can tell but I couldn't see what or how they were done. Both tricks amazing and I would love to be able to do them. I also love the one where he makes a card or credit card kinda float up to his hand. You would think it's some kind of thin string but he does it from peoples hand so you would think they would see it!

 

I was astonished by some of his stuff but a tiny bit let down that I knew some if the other stuff.

 

I thought I figured out the paper in the box at radio one but the way I figured it would of been stumped had mills picked any paper other than the metro. So just when I thought I sust it I realised I had no freaking idea. Lol

the spoon in the coffee that turned to a fork when stirred. Obviously a fork that had a coating that melted in the coffee to reveal a fork.

[saintjay77]

A friend of mine is a magician and has done the card in your pocket one to me before. He came into my house and sat down, 10 mins later he was doing this trick that basically sent me round my own living room picking up cards that had different writing on saying where to look next. I had not seen him go round my front room in the 1st place so was stumped at how these cards got there but even more stumped when the last card told me to look in my back pocket which is where I found the original card I picked out and signed.

 

Dynamo did a similar one to the 2 guys on the last show making the cards they spotted in their split deck get into their pockets. Absolutley no freaking idea on that one!
