Magicians

I enjoy watching magicians especially when they do something a little different...good to see this guy (Simon Pierro) using the latest technology in his act.
Do any of you enjoy watching magicians too?
I like Derren Brown and Dynamo too

Re: Magicians

Hmmm

I like magic and magicians. I like Derren Brown a lot but he's let himself down in recent years with some silly stunts as he's obviously run out of ideas. Great showman though.

The iPad guy is . . . well different to some extent but it's just a choreographed set of videos, some of which mimic the iPad operating system and the rest is just impromptu appearance of "stuff" like the pen, pendulum etc. He has simply rehearsed the timing of the vids to perfection so it looks like he is operating the iPad normally when in reality it's just playing a video.

The world desperately needs new magicians with new sets of tricks. Too many people are still doing the same tired old illusions which is why "The Masked Magician" did his TV show showing how all the main illusions are done.

New magicians are few and far between sadly. Derren did well to present magic in new ways, but even so, much of what he does is simple gimmicks you can buy in any magic shop. Fake envelopes, the classic "Sharpie" gimmicked pen and so on. His showmanship is what makes him successful.
