I haven't blogged in a while So here Is Something I found Interesting.
I was checking out my Twitter page (http://www.twitter.com/magicmalachi) And I Saw on my Following feed iTricks Posted this "New post:: John Archer Fools Penn & Teller http://itricks.com/news/2011/01/john-archer-fools-penn-teller/"
That Caught my attention so I clicked the link and watched that segment of the show. I have to admit that He fooled me as well. Which Made me want to Find More about the Show and see if I could watch the full episode. So that is Where I started to Google! After a Quick Google Search I came across this blog
(WARNING SPOILER ALERT IF YOU READ HIS BLOG.) "http://trycks.blogspot.com/2011/01/penn-and-teller-fool-us.html"
And At the bottom It has a Link to the actual Video Which I will post here.

So From This Point On I will Post My Thoughts on the Show and What If any of the effects "Fooled Me"
Michael Vincent Was Brilliant! His Sleight of hand is remarkable and I really enjoyed his performance. And Yes It fooled Me! (but I did catch most of his palming ;))
John Archer's 5 envelope routine. Loved his patter and the comedy! Brilliant Brilliant performance! It Fooled the Crap out of me! My idea to how it was done was the same as what Penn & Teller said. Which was wrong so I have no clue.
Benjamin Earl was good and the 2nd person to fool Penn & Teller BUT I'm not a fan of to much cockiness. Don't get me wrong You should be Confident in what your doing but don't be Cocky about it. I don't know if it was part of the routine and it was suppose to happen but he was doing really sloppy work with the cards (could of been on purpose) But wasn't really something that "Jumps out at me" if you know what I mean. I personally am not that big of a fan of doing Card magic like that on the stage. That is more of a close up venue and it really (to me) makes it seem like the audience is just on the outside looking in and not "apart" of the magic. Which is what I'm all about.
All in all I thought the Show was Amazing. All the performers Did a Great Job and I give kudos to everyone! I really hope that They do another one of those (maybe for us Americans ;))

See You On The Other Side?
