They are smart. But of course they didn't use that terminology. Instead they described what they saw as "When he asked them to take the lemon it looked like all but one were stuck to the bag". And where I mentioned those terms above it was to demonstrate how many techniques were used in one routine which I thought personally made it too complicated.
Either way none of those terms are new to anyone here and this is supposed to be a forum for magicians and the like, it's far from blatant exposure. I wasn't aware that laypersons also come here and that we were to watch what we say. If that's how it's supposed to be I sincerely apologise.

Firstly I'd like to congratulate Jonathan on such a detailed and informative review. I wish all the reviews I came across went into such depth.
Such reviews are of great value to those who may never get the opportunity to see Keith's show and even greater value to those who will get to see Keith's show in the future. For Keith's show will surely eveolve and from an academic point of view it will be fascinating to see how his show develops and tightens up. Methods will change and his performances will strengthen - as is the case with any professional. To the intelligent magical observer we all can learn from watching how other performers improve and develop. But there's one thing that's being overlooked. Jonathan's post is a permanent record for future generations of magicians and mentalists who, no doubt, will appreciate his attention to detail. I know how thrilled I was to come across an equally perceptive review of old-time mentalist MYRUS who featured the Q&A act in night clubs. |

Jonathan...I don't agree if you blame the audience...even if they are irish people.....Remember...There are NO such things as Bad Audience...only Bad performer

I've always found Irish audiences very appreciative. But.. and this is a BIG but.. they do have to be told when to applaud. I've never seen Keith Barry live, but, by this time, he should know how to coax applause from an audience.
Sometimes, the magic is a little TOO good, they don't applaud because they're astounded, and you have to bully the crowd a little.. Effects involving a bit of thinking don't always hit home. Just my thoughts. DCB

Thanks Jonathan for taking the time to give such a detailed review of the show, and for being honest about it.
Do you know if this is the same show that Keith is taking to vegas? Thanks, Oral> |

Great review. I enjoyed the read.
Moreover, I agree with mesmer. There is no such thing as a bad audience. Sure, I wouldn't bring my show to an asylum for the aggresive and insane, but if I did bring my show there I wouldn't have a bad audience, I'd have a bad manager. |

Thanks for taking the time to write that extensive review. I'm tempted to check out the show if I get the chance, but I must say I was very disappointed with his performance at TED.

Keith Barry's new show hits Vegas next week. I for one hope he storms it. I love his stuff.

I loved the show and performers but had to be coaxed when to applaude. No man wants to be an island. One guy stood up at the end for a standing ovation and before I could get up, he sat down. I get my applause no matter what it takes. PS: I want Jonanathan to review my show.

"Let's try something, something all together. I can't guarantee that it will work, or even what might happen, but everybody hold their left hand in front of their face, about level with your left ear, palm open and facing inwards. Now with your right hand, lift that in front of your right ear, palm open facing inwards. Now, on the count of three, I'd like everybody to rapidly, and ultra-violently repeatedly smash their hands together. One... Two... Three... (Applause).... well it kinda worked... I feel a bit better. Thanks."

Maybe that's because the show referred to in this thread was seven years ago.
