The other thing that makes me suspect that TLC hired him is that he apparently signed a release to be on the show. It was probably easier for the production staff to hire someone they know who will sign a release then trying to find a qualified performer from the local area that might not want to sign a release. |

Ryan, I agree with you 100%.
Also, my personnal experience with television show tapings is that you know when to get to the set, but you have no idea when you are going to be on. Add to that the fact that the show was outside, rain was in the forecast... If I had to wait a couple of hours in the rain in my tuxedo, I know one thing for sure: some of my equipment, including the tux, would have been thrown in the trash afterwards... Some things do not take to being drench too well. Again, there are a lot of details that we know nothing about... |

By the way, I think the release form is standard practice. If you want them to use footage that include you, you have to give them permission.
Have a nice day! |

Here is a youtube link. No one in our area knows whos the guy is, and we have a pretty close group of magicians and performers in the area. All I can say, is.... I would not show up to that type of gig not dressed. I mean where do you change? your car? that's not creepy. I do not work with animals, but don't think it would be wise to let a rabbit on a table alone with kids swarming around it. For those of you who do use rabbits. Do you put them in the cage infront of the kids to leave. Wouldn't it be better to cary the rabbit to the car and put him in the cage out of view of the kids? |

The rabbit sure was in a hurry to get in the cage.

Right after the girl finally remembered the 3 of clubs as her card, there is a little boy, who is very vocal, that pretty much summed up everything...

I know I was horrified at the treatment of the rabbit. I use Wolf's Funhouse to produce my rabbit, and then at the end use the Funhouse as a cage to get the rabbit to the van. Never had a problem. But I would never let the children alone with the rabbit. I usually hold the rabbit and get the kids in a line to one by one pet the bunny. I would never let my rabbit alone, especially with 5 year old's.

This guy got a gig on tv. Not too many birthday magicians can say that.
Plus they didn't show the whole magic show, so it's unfair to bash him. I think overall it's a good thing for birthday magicians. More exposure. |

I live about 30 miles from John & Kate and like Ryan I never saw that guy before. I think that he is a ringer.

Well I'm glad someone posted that link so I could see this guy; I was expecting something MUCH worse.
Still, I just can't believe he showed up to this gig chewing gum and wearing a sweat shirt and baseball hat. And if you look close, it appears he wore his tennis shoes for the whole show. Certainly not a professional, imo, but I've seen worse. |

It must have been a dog carrier
do a google search for "Flemish Giant" - what a great gimmick, if you have the room
looks like I'll need a bigger hat! |

I must say, after the snipit with the magician my wife looked at me and said, "Are you kidding me??? you should be charging a lot more for your shows."
