I was hopping for that also but yeah set up to make it as pwerfull as it is would have taken so long.

I would say that as magicians, we might be a bit more aware of it than the average member of the viewing public. All the non-magicians that I know that watched it thought it was great! Lets keep in mind that he's playing to the lay public and not to us!

I agree about performing for the public but I also agree with Andrew that this one lacks punch. It just takes too long and after the first five seconds, the rest is anti climatic. I saw him do it in Vegas. Both my wife and I hated it so I looked around to see how others were reacting and it was essentially golf claps all around. (the show as a whole was bad as evidenced by the people talking in the lobby after the show).
