Get Your Act Together

Discussions of new films, books, television shows, and media indirectly related to magic and magicians. For example, there may be a book on mnemonics or theatrical technique we should know or at least know about.

Get Your Act Together

Postby AJM » January 18th, 2015, 3:22 pm

This new ITV show is the latest in the 'keep celebrities in employment' format.

They've danced, they've ice skated, they've lived in the jungle - now they're learning new special talents that they can perform with their expert mentors.

Tonight?

Some bird off the telly does a trampoline act

Some bloke off the telly does some rope acrobatics

Another wifey off the telly does plate spinning (with magician Andrew Van Buren)

Some guy off the telly does some 'comedy' impressions.

Another geezer off the telly does a straitjacket escape (with P&T)

All hosted by that bloke off the telly who's also a bit of a magician.

Stay tooned for next week's exciting episode!

On second thoughts...

Although magicians know him as a Magician, Andrew Van Buren earns 90% of his living from juggling type performances; he still has and does his father's more famous magic pieces but juggling / plate spinning is what most of the lay world know him for.

It's a flimsy excuse for a variety show that ITV have been playing with and developing for a while. I hear at least one of the advisor's to the show is a devilishly good looking chap 8-)

Sounds like it is in the same vein as the "Circus of the Stars" from 30-40 years ago.
