I have never had bad responses yet but I believe this is mainly due to the setting in which I perform and I try to get to know my audience before hand as well as during. But this wuld all be changed in a large cold venue. As a hypnotist I put myself in the state those I'm working with are, trouble is that it means if thing were not going well I would know instantly and would find it difficult to ignor.
When people meet me before hand they usually see I'm a nice person who's simply here to entertain them and mabe make a friend or two, when I go into my presentation I get a very nice responce and usually end up booked to be the entertainment and many more parties parties, I have never advertised. I feel my not walking out on stage cold makes a huge differance. H.W

Just returned from the festival and saw Luke's show and he blew me away, his humour, mannorisms and overall stage presence is fantastic, much better than when I saw him in the past.

Wouldn't be suprised if it was one of the first times he did those effects. Funnily enough the day I went it was Mandy that fell flat and was experiencing lack of audience response due to her timing being a bit off. I guess a month is a long time. I am sure all three of them have learned a lot from this experience. What a great opportunity. Jackie Clements went down well that day to.. |

For what it's worth Stuart & Barry from the channel 4 show: 'Magick' were offered one of the spots on the Luke/Mandy/Jackie slot in Edinburgh but couldn't make it. They are presently doing stand-up slots ( next one in Bournmouth on 29th August)and having seen the show I can tell you it's hilarios.
They actually do mobile phone from stomach 'live' and it has the audience in fits!

It's by Ken Weber, it's called Maximum Entertainment, and it's available from most dealers. Ken performed professionally for 15-20 years, and went to school for theatre, so he knows what he's talking about. At Magic Live last week, he sold out of every copy he brought with him, and every time we were hanging out, people were coming up to him who already owned it and were saying it was the best book in magic they'd ever purchased. I kid you not, I even saw people buying copies to give to friends as gifts when their friends weren't willing to buy it for themselves. For full disclosure, Ken is somebody I'm honored to consider a friend, but I'd say the same thing regardless of whether I knew him or not. As a matter of fact, I bought the book and was recommending it when I'd only met Ken once or twice and was really only a passing acquaintance.

Just thought I'd share this as I finally managed to track it down. It's from the Three Week review...
The Magic Zone Mary Tobin Presents Magic is a risky business. Either you have that special gift or you don't. The Magic Zone presents three very different magicians; one who kinda has it, one who doesn't, and the last who definitely does. Jackie McClements, a Glaswegian schoolteacher by trade but a magician at heart, captures the audience's attention with age-old card tricks, displaying a talent for misdirection and slight of hand. Mandy Muden's performance though is likely to leave you wondering if you saw any magic at all. Her outrageous flirting and sexual innuendos fall flat, and bring the tone down a notch. It is nineteen-year-old Luke Jermay who steals the show, and while he claims not to be a mind reader, his ability to manipulate a situation and the audience, will leave you flabbergasted. All-in-all there's much skill, comedy and charm here. ...well call me 'mental' but I think Luke done good? Colin

This is from The Scotsman newspaper:
The three acts have their own specialities. Jackie McClements, who tells us he’s a teacher from Clydebank, does sleight-of-hand card tricks. They’re a little hard to see from the back of the room, but his mild manner is pleasing. Mandy Muden is a mischievous flirt who likes to twist expectations and subvert the obvious tricks. She’s a good laugh too. Nineteen-year-old mindreader Luke Jermay does a long routine which never quite works, but his use of suggestion with other audience members goes down well. |

I reckon that's a good result both reviews. Keeping in mind the lenght of the run and the stage where Luke is at right now.
Reviwes are just someones views frozen in time Things move on and develope. A bit like this forum  We sometimes get to serious on here.

Hey all,
Had a few people e-mail me over this matter still asking if I knew of any other reviews, so to save time, and incase anyone else would like to read them, I have these as well. Hope those who e-mailed me aren't offended, just thought this way it would benefit everyone. Best Wishes, Colin “Luke Jermay reads minds. A mix of autosuggestion and interpreting body language is how he says it is done. But his amazing capacity to tell what members of the audience were thinking had me gasping.” The Razz Live Festival Reviews "Luke Jermay with his Derren Brown style mind control magic. This saves the show and is unlike anything you have seen before. The man manages not only to subconsciously influence people’s decision making, but he also stops someone’s pulse! (No, they don’t die)" Forth One

I should rephrase, Luke Jermay doesn't answer my emails. Great performer, not so great at following up purchases made by customers.

I went to see the show and enjoyed it. However as a beginner (been into magis only for 2.5 months)I was dissapointed that I was able to guess a lot of the methods of a pro. Also Luke attempted the stopped pulse routine but no one who came up on stage knew how to find his pulse. I would of thought it was obvious one should ask for anyone who was sure they could do this, for example someone with medical training. All luke did was ask if anyone had ever found their pulse, that's asking for trouble in my opinion and that's what he got. Still that doesn't mean there wasnt some strong stuff. I do wish he qouldnt quote Banacheck verbatim though.There are lots of ways to same the same thing without saying the same thing.
