Has anyone here watched this street magician on Dave (or is it GOLD)? I find this kind of thing very irritating. Does this kid from Yorkshire realise David Blaine was doing precisley the same thing on tv about 8 years ago?
I think what irritates most is the publics' reactions to his illusions - that total shock, horror and dancing about with their fist up their mouths screaming, "Oh, my God!! What the fuck!!"
His illusions are very clever (I especially enjoy the one where he forces a mobile phone into an empty beer bottle) and I don't claim to know how he does them, but why do supposedly intelligent people react to his tricks as though they're pure magic??
The finale to his first show was a prime expample, when he 'walked' on the Thames river. Cue camera shots of people running over London Bride, wide-eyed and pointing in amazement. Did these stupid kunts really believe he was walking on water?? It wasn't even well done, as in the close ups you could clearly see the water was up to his ankles. This has been done many times before and is achieved by constructing a glass floor just beneath the surface, but these idiots continued to point and take photos as though he was the new messiah or something
