    little nervous at start, but thats to be expected! judge was a bit of a prick to go on about knowing how it was done, obviously one of those guys who likes to grab the deck of cards off you in a pub. You were obviously pressed for time, which was a shame.
    You went for a particular style, very intense and to the point, which is fair enough, if thats what you plan to do, but I like your sense of humour too, and If I was you i'd be going for a funnier more relaxed attitude. but as i say, thats just a personal choice, its just something u follow through with in either direction.
    Did you get Blaithnaid McGee's number?? ;)

    Of course I was!!! They cut 3/4s of my intro at which point I settle into it more.

    Yeah he's their 'bargain basement Simon Cowell', he sat in on rehearsals where I had to explain what the cameras could and couldn't shoot, I notice he didn't mention that!

    Editing as much as anything but yeah it was tight. I ran to about 4 minutes and they edited out most of the middle section.

    Yeah. In general I will be doing a bit of both, some effects like the Drawing Dupe I feel have to be played very intense. Others like the Smash and Stab and my thing with ring boxes will be done in a much more light hearted and relaxed way. It's just the effect I chose more than anything else!

    tell me more about smash and stab? Is it the trick I'm thinking of under a different name?


  • Registered Users Posts: 520 ✭✭✭???


    Possibly. It's the commercial name of the spike and paper cups Russian roulette.


  • Registered Users Posts: 520 ✭✭✭???


    Oh and I had absolutely no input into that bloody music in the background!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 520 ✭✭✭???


    Yeah Spike is the PK version, Smash and Stab uses a different method. I tried putting together my own but reliability was a problem! They're pricey but it's such a good effect that I may just buy one!

    This is me performing on TG4's talent show, Glas Vegas. Unfortunately the editing was a bit poor and due to time constraints they edited out much of the middle of the effect. More of my performance videos will be up in the next few weeks and will give you a much better idea of what I am like than this clip does.

    I am performing on stage at the end of March. Visit my website for more details.
