He is an 'illusionist'. Everything he does you have to watch carefully - he shows you something with one hand and is doing something with the other. Just seen him 'twist his arm all the way round' - anyone can do that. while the camera is on the hosptial guy he puts his arm down 'twisted', so when it spins round he can turn it 'all the way round' - you should try it. Never look at the hand on screen, always look for what is NOT on screen.

I'm surprised he's still being billed as an "illusionist" as these days he seems to be increasingly turning into a stunt man. After all, if the stunts are for real, then they're not illusions. If he's using some sort of illusion, then he's not really doing the stunts!

always look for what is NOT on screen.

Erm...how do I do that, exactly? ;-)

a "real" *******

He is an excellent showman, he has charisma and style.

I would love to know how he levitates from the pavement.

If anyone knows, tell me!

personally I think he's a complete w****r

[loopyc]

i think he is real but also that he has a death wish, much prefered him as a street magician to the stunt man he has turned into.
