I always get a kick out of watching the pickpocket/watch stealing videos. I don't quite understand this sort of "magic" -- and I especially don't understand why, if you don't know what's happening, you let some strange, smarmy "magician" (or whatever) hover around you, touching you, tugging at your clothes. ("You took my wallet? Gee, I didn't feel a thing!")
You get my vote not for the worst spectator -- but for the dumbest. And anyone "practicing" watch stealing or pickpocketing -- you get my vote for the dumbest magician. But back to the subject -- John on L&L. Does John have blond hair? He has a moustache, apparently. But I'm trying to place him in the specs I've seen on the various videos. There's usually another guy -- and usually sitting right to the (magician's) left of the close-up table -- deep voice, older gent, big smile. Is he John? Anyway, what'd be interesting is to gather this audience and have *another* video where they talk about all the magic they've been lucky enough to see. I mean, I always watch this L&L audience and realize that they've seen a *lot* of live, contemporary magic -- from some of the best magicians around. They're actually a pretty lucky bunch. |

How about the ladies in Ray Kosby's Impossible Card Magic? They're pretty bad as well...I must say. It was like they felt bad for him. Haha.

1. I think that Jon is ok. Alright he's OTTT often but unfortunately the reality of putting the public before a camera is that you have a choice often of either someone half way through the process of rigor mortis or someone so hyped that it looks like he/shes consumed the GDP of Colombia. (You know what I mean). So if I had a choice of an audience now for my debut DVD, I'd head hunt him. No question.
2. One of the blonde 'bimbos' on L&L is called Rachel. But on one of his 'Very Best of's..' you suddenly see she actually is no bimbo at all. Somehow she gets stirred up by Sankey and she gets very sharp and spikey towards him suddenly displaying that she possesses an obvious intelligence and granite hard confidence. Sankey is not intimidated at all - and I admire him all the more for how he faced that. 3. My contribution to the worst MAGICIAN'S reaction to a spectator is the guy I've just told you I admire. Sankey. On one of the volumes of 'The Very Best of...' he says to the spectator Jon "are you retarded?... I'm sorry, I mean, are you an idiot." Wow, Sankey has time to double take on his first comment but follows it up with a SECOND insult(!) instead of an apology or some other kind of joke. I thought that Jon, despite reacting in his normal good spirit, was embarrassed. Sankey does FINALLY (I'm convinced because he realised this would look bad on the tape) say Jon is a good guy and got the audience to applaud him. It was such a painfully long afterthought that it was blantant. remember, this is from the fastest thinker in the business so the belated apology does not convince me. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment so Sankey remains a firm favourite with me but it was undeniably plain bad etiquette and inappropriate behaviour.

Paul Wilson is a great magician, he however was the saddest looking spectator in Lennart Green's DVDs. He looked bored and unimpressed at all. I was hoping for more interaction with Lennart since he is a performer himself. I still think he is good though.

Worst or most annoying would have to be David or the guy who ALWAYS LAUGHS.

I think John and David are absolutely fantastic. But we suffer from never seeing them in any other context. If for example, L&L paid for them to go to a lapdancing club and film their reactions, I think we might see a whole new side to their personalities.
JOHN: Wait a minute.. No way.... NO WAY!!! You've got to be kidding - that was... wait... (points in astonishment) no WAAAAYYYYY!! (claps like a seal) NO WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!! (claps like two seals) Man that was just... that was just... AWESOME!!!!!!!!! DAVID: Uh-huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... |

That girl on Paul Harris' Stars of Magic tapes (I think her names Jeanie?) Big-headed, disrespectful and sarcastic.

Calling your spectator a retard on an instructional DVD. Jon (if that is his name) was visibly shocked at the classless remark by Sankey, and Jay's "clean-up" afterwards was almost as bad as his original insult.

How about that woman who sits in front of Bill Malone (short hair with glasses) when he does "Sam the Bellhop". Just watch her facial reactions...totally false and over the top. She's out to give David and John a run for their money...except she's so obviously false!
She might as well have worn a T-shirt that says, "Pick me, Bill!" Wach that part of the DVD again, and just watch her face. |
