Axel Got Talent

[Tom Stone]

My young friend Axel Adlercreutz just competed in Sweden Got Talent. He's got a good sense for topological things, which becomes evident when he ties his tie with one hand:

Congrats to Axel. It's a shame that a nice routine like that would have been GONGED, buzzed, XXX within 30 seconds. At least Axel was given a chance.

Alex does have talent. The only thing I didn't like was the editing, taking the focus away from him when he was doing the one-handed tie bit to get a reaction shot from the hosts backstage.

Charlie Caper, another friend of mine, was also in Sweden got Talent. Rather nice contribution:

Quite charming, Tom. The bowtie has me fooled and I didn't catch it vanish the first time around. Nicely done.
