Disregard the miss informed post , Richard was the only person that fooled P&T last night Please don't doubt me again. The kid - Daniel Kramer has been invited to perform in Las Vegas by Penn & Teller even though he didn't fool them. I know somebody from the Jewish Chronicle who told  me. Just the facts from me. |

Neither does having people back for second chances....
why set a premise and then take it apart. I feel they are completely undermining their audience. If it's a free pass to Vegas for those they like then that's fine, but don't dress it up as something else. Doubt I'll be watching again and I'm really disappointed. Put me right off P&T.

It is obviously P&Ts choice to invite the young magician to Vegas, but is it really the choice of P&T to have Mr Bellars & Vincent on the show twice? I suspect some 'back room' forces are at work! Adam - do you not think the show is good for magic, when compared to the Lenny Henry 'thing' that was on a while ago? Lets face it, what kind of audition passed an act with a 6 card repeat and an arm twist, if the idea is to fool P&T ...? This must be the production team going for the 'ahhhh!' factor (btw, I thought the young man had a good stage manner and was entertaining as such - my wife thought he was good). Lets hope this thread survives bring deleted! Charlie |

It has turned out to be pick your friends or business partners and force your way through, new product in hand. There are plenty of great guys and girls on here with great ideas that would love one chance to be on TV like that just for the fact of them getting on and trying it out rather than selling it desperately for all it's worth.

Correct Olympic Adam , it defiantly was about not what you know but who you know on this one as many of the effects that were self workers would not have got the air time if you were not mates with the production crew. Several names were already definates before the auditions even too place it would appear. Nothing against Romany ( she did a good job )but she was a banker the day she applied IMO . By the way I am just a hobbyist so no sour grapes on my part just seems very contrived . Sorry back on topic well done Richard !

Remember the first series everybody goes on about was a one off pilot so having repeat magicians on this series is not a masive deal to me, if they repeated the same magicians in series 2 (if there is one ) then it would be.
Just my opinion. Carl |

It was called a special not a pilot at the time if I remember correctly.
It was played up to be the best showcase we had on offer in the UK not a test run for a series. As I said somewhere else, if it were called 'Alakazam R Us' and they had all alakazam tricks and we all said they were good and bought them then fair enough but it's not. If we did something like this it would be on P&T's show !@#$%^&*, they would expose us for being biased and not being fair to an art.

There is a long tradition in show biz for connections and who you know. So what?
I continue to find myself entertained by the show, even if imperfect.

Nice job Alan. I don't know if I could hold up under that pressure.
I am getting so tired of slitting the throats of people who say that I am a violent psychopath.
