Look at these boys. Its interesting to note that a touch of originality in performance brings some average magic tricks up to a standard good enough to get them a spot on television. They even get an applause for the dove pan effect and the giant sponge ball coming out of the mouth - hardly groundbreaking magic - but the audience has failed to spot method as they were watching the entertaining and original performance.

I've seen them a couple of times, they are very good. As is often said, it really doesn't matter what you do as long as your audience is entertained.

I've said it before, but the complicated, multi-phase stuff that has magicians quaking with excitement often bores the public and the simple and direct stuff such as this (coupled with good performance skills) can thrill a crowd despite being technically easy in comparison.

That's rather splendid. I can imagine the sheer amount of work that went into every second.

He must be incredibly strong, he picked up the robot guy like he was made of polystyrene.

Are you trying to suggest its not a real robot? You'll be telling me Father Christmas isn't real next.
