Ah, but wouldn't it have been great then if he could have pulled out a Henry VIII picture card...?

I'm tempted to keep a card like that now, thank you! There's another effect (no names please!) where the spec has to get the name of a city from a picture of a very well known landmark in that city. The landmark is the Eiffel Tower so the city has to be Paris. What did one spec say? 'Israel' - not even a city!!!

For a particular routine, and if you're in the UK, take a look here...

When I first read this, I couldn't stop laughing, thinking "that's awesome, how often does THAT happen? That must've made the whole show."

I thought I'd never run into anything like that on my end, and about 2 weeks ago I asked someone to name a king and they replied: "King Solomon."

I asked someone to name a queen, and they said Graham Norton.

You have to be specific and say, "A Queen, not a Raging Flaming Queen"

I love Graham, he's silly and not abashed about who he is in the least.
