Day Three...Skeleton Competition Report...
I will hope to eventually expand on this preliminary competiton report but in the interests of speed this is for now...
Matthew Gore from South Africa. Hat Shop set...white face...why? I blame circus schools.
Kyoko from Japan. Hairdressing act...curler manipulations instead of thimbles...good levitation...combs, mirrors and a bit of "Cleaning Lady type coat coming to life." Almost too much. Could be amongst the prizes.
Andreas Axmann from Germany. Cocktails, hats and ties and bits of straw manipulations. Well supported but I ask you...bits of fruit?
Richard Forget from Canada. Not completely bad...I liked the music.
Anton and Landru from Argentina. An Old Woman (man dressed up) watching a tv has to call in the repair man when the telly breaks. Ends up hypnotising him and taking him upstairs. Only at a magic convention!
Ross Mickael et Bethy (et des autres) Illusions. Same question...Why? (except bigger...)
The Magic Of The Nightingale from USA. Opera singing Lady (in different languages) with a big ball bearing...strange...very strange...only at a magic convention. Where's Jeff McBride...?
Mr Avesta from Holland. Strong man act with dog squashing gag. Judges saved us eventually by closing the curtains on him.
Pilou from France. Very well received. Some very strong moments. Moved around a little too much for me.
Hayashi from Germany. He had us in the palms of his hands and then he cruelly dropped us on the floor...
Robert and Emiel from Holland. Rain Man does mentalism...tasteless and uncomfortable viewing.
Xavier Mortimar from France. I blame circus schools, theatre schools and mime schools. In fact I just blame schools.
Jin Seub from Korea (the bit at the bottom.) Manipulations in front of the fireplace. The large cards were "more riveted than the audience."
Sergy Ferdzhulyan from Russia. Minimalist Manipulations. Needs to hang out with his friends more...
Jerome Helfenstein from France. AT LAST...made all the waiting worthwhile...hand shadows PAR EXCELLENCE. Superb, classy, creative and perfectly executed. A prize winner...
