This is such a poor trick but Sooooooooooo worth watching.

Enjoy guys

The moment he started I was thinking "1-A P". Tough crowd plus bad audience management meant that he couldn't pull it off, and once he was clearly "caught" he should probably have taken it with grace! But the principle behind the trick itself is perfectly solid and there are lots of great effects that work in similar ways. One of my go-to tricks if somebody hands me a deck of cards is to shuffle them, lay them out, and then have them "find" a series of cards that I request by touching the backs of them, and (carefully-done) it kills.

He stood no chance there, far too much verbal stuff plus smart@rse 'crowd'. Would Howard & co be equally hard on a singer who fluffed a note or a comedian where a joke didn't get belly laughs?

I thought the mentalist whoever he is was very charismatic and slick. Alas I hated the vulgarity, bad language and crudity of his work. And of course the weak trick which has been exposed to death over the years. I have had many laymen show it to me.

I would like to see this guy working in a better class environment and using more tasteful presentations and eliminate the swearing. I think he would do very well if he did that and I would like to see more of him.

Agreed

I would normally sympathise with any performer who encountered a tough crowd but, quite frankly, he got what his performance deserved. I'm shocked that he thought that was even an acceptable routine to include in a 'professional' repertoire to a general audience let alone to a renowned skeptic during a live broadcast and in a quite literal 'anything goes' environment. It's beyond lazy, bordering on delusional, and more fool him.

Someone do this guy a favour a buy him a Cassidy book...

Totally agree, but you've only got to look at the music in the charts as another example. Most of it is commercially made c*** (not the best), manufactured by factories such as the X-Factor to get their Christmas number one. It just seems at times that if you are in the right place at the right time you're in, even when there is real talent just around the corner.
