I've watched this guy before. I knew roughly how he was doing things until the vanishes. His palming and drop palms are superb, but the vanishes where cards simply disappeared and the instant re-coating of the cards' backs was both puzzling and astonishingly impressive. The new breed of magicians that P & T wanted to encourage do seem far, far better than the older breed. Some of the performances on ITV's recent Magicians' competition were simply amazing. Some used old routines slightly updated, but one or two were astonishing. What makes this guy special, however, is putting it on video and not having to talk.
