Is this show going to be with some new fresh, challenging and engaging talent or will the 10 slots be given to Uri Geller and Criss Angel's buddies.

I heard Drew McAdam, Jim Callahan, Steve Banachek, James Randi and Tony Eye will judge Criss and Uri to see who is the better host.
The rest of the show will be about Uri trying to send the image of a fish to the people at home. "What am I thinking of right now? There's nothing magical about this, no tricks, nothing fishy. Only pure telepathy." 65% will get it right. The other 35% will think of a star, or a remote control button. |

I hope not DJM. I'd rather be entertaining on the show than judging the judges.
Funny thing is, I asked my son about my applying for the show last night. His response was, "Don't quit your day job." Sage advice in there. Tony |

I like DJM's idea. Funny!
Could you tell us a little about the Israel show? Who was on...what they performed and how it went in a nutshell? No rants about Uri or TT's just an overall unbias view of the show. Thanks Dave

It's like American Idol, just without the auditions. You get 10 mentalists to perform every show, and the people at home vote who stays and who goes.
Like it's been said before, there was a lot of Pre-Show/stooges inolved to make the effects more interesting, so the audience got angry when it was all exposed after a while. The rest was basic mentalistm stuff, like book tests, tricks with a Nailwriter, Smash and Stab etc. My advice to the Americans: Don't use pre-show during the program. And if you do, please don't make it so obvious. Here's an amazing and intense clip in English, where Geller's daughter is trying to send an image of a movie star to the people at home. http://youtube.com/watch?v=4gNZVREeCvE Sadly she failed with the results eventually... maybe it means that psychic genes can skip a generation. |

Thanks DJM. Seems like some of this stuff could be bought at your local magic shop
I don't think that will be the case here. Lot's of great thinking if they choose to actually LOOK for the next best thing.

They are accepting submissions on Video right now. The pay will be AFTRA scale and the participating Artists will have no control.

Julian:
Can you provide any information on where to go to get the casting information and requirements? NBC does not have them listed yet. Tony |

Thanks for the info Julian! I would hope that NBC would have a learning curve
I know that MANY professional impersonators stayed WAY CLEAR of The Next Best Thing, knowing that the producers were out to slag everyone pretty much.

Practice what you present.

Is America's Got Talent a big hit in Israel? Sorry, had to ask. Thank you for the information on the version of the show that aired over there. It is very helpful. Tony |

We got our version of that, which is even worse.
But sometimes I follow the American version, I hope Terry Fator will win! Only one there with some talent. |

I don't know. People are saying that they are accepting videos, but NBC has not announced anything yet. I hope it is not a closed contest where only select people are even allowed to apply.

Slim, the last time Steve and Criss were mentioned in the same sentence, a 4,000 views thread got deleted.. I think sending you a PM would be a better idea.

Evidently it's BIG NEWS on other sites that the Café thread was deleated...So we'll dodge a bullet here
Thanks for the PM. Now back to the TV challenge. Whats the bottom line on this deal?
