Can't view the Slicer link here (I'm in the states), and the 2nd link doesn;t work either. What's awful about it, and who's doing it?
It's all in the reflexes.

Barry and Stuart did it.. it's a knock off.. and it was BADLY done... and in the middle of the routine, they stripped and did the second half of the routine in their underwear.. for no real reason.
However.. Latimer's Leviation is one of the best I've ever seen.. but I hear it's very complicated... and good for that, I wouldn't want to see just anyone doing it. |

Makeupguy,
It's not a knock off!!!! It's a Mendoza one that they rented to use on this show. |

Theirs might be the only interlude performance I've ever liked though.

Still badly done.... and they have a long history of using non-authorized builder props... Sorry for the assumption.

Makeupguy,
Not sure what you are talking about as I know Barry & Stuart to be very ethical. Their 'Interlude' is a John Gaughan one, their 'No Feet' was build by Bill Smith. Maybe you are thinking of Magic unlimited |

@tristan: And what is with eg their unauthorized head-mover (Andre Kole)?

You're missing the point ....
http://www.waynedobson.co.uk/ go here under newsletter or read below http://www.waynedobson.co.uk/ Okay, here goes: Somebody once said to me, "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all!" Hence the reason I have remained tight lipped regarding the latest series of The Magicians, but after last Saturday's show and the unforgivable exposure of the 'Slicer' illusion I can't keep quiet any longer. I cannot believe that the producers think that by changing the Magicians and Presenter it will improve the show, when really the problem is not the magicians, it is the format – it's all wrong. How on earth can you expect the magicians to look like professionals when they are surrounded by amateurs – I mean you could put a tramp in a £1000 suit and they would still smell like ****! Giving the slicer illusion to Barry and Stuart is like drinking expensive wine from a polystyrene cup or eating fillet steak from a paper plate or even giving pigs after shave. In fact, they would have been better off if they had been given 'Hippity Hop Rabbits' as they would have made it far more entertaining and less chance of exposure! For the few magicians’ in this world that have spent their hard earned money ($25,000) on the 'Slicer illusion' I think they have every right to get 'Pissed off!' I had a friend visit here yesterday and he gave his explanation of how he thought the illusion worked – my stomach turned as I listened to his explanation being 100% correct. (I didn't let them know that they were right, but they were convinced they were). Many years ago I performed the 'Slicer' illusion in my TV show and yes, the blades were quite tricky to remove however, given the correct rehearsal time with the appropriate people it becomes a breeze. Which brings me to my next gripe: How does anybody expect a lay person to learn something in a few hours, which has taken the magician a lifetime to perfect their craft? I mean, you wouldn't expect David Hay to teach a magician to be a world champion boxer in one afternoon. Come on guys, give yourself credit – don't get me wrong, it is a good idea using celebrities to assist you as they can enhance your performance and endorse your credibility, but remember you are the important one – staying in control will make you look like the star, and so you should. You have to believe that the product you are selling is worthy of being displayed in a beautiful cabinet in Harrods, otherwise it will end up in the middle of a field on a decorating table in a car boot sale! When people speak of Derren Brown and David Blaine it makes me feel so proud to be a magician, but when shows like 'The Magicians' are mentioned I feel quite embarrassed. Magic performed well is one of the best forms of entertainment however, when performed badly it is one of the worst! Wayne Dobson PS Whoever is reading this, please give me a 'High-Five' however if it happens to be Paul Daniels just give me a 'Four and a Half' |

TEN times high five !!! I'am so sad they are ruining those beautiful illusions by bad performances. For the producers it's only a matter of money..... |

Ha.....Ha....Ha.....and I thought it was just their teeth that were supposed to be bad.
That was God awful!! The only thing on the stage that was smaller than the level of talent they displayed was what was hiding behind those red underroos......at least from what I could see. Hopefully they don't represent all men of the British Crown. I don't even think the two of them together could pull off "through a one inch hole!" The only good illusion I saw was......wait for it......"Tubed In" I'm just glad they didn't try to pull off "Things that go bump in my shorts." That would have definitely fell FLAT! |
