I think, although clearly a comedy act, there is something many magicians can learn from watching this...

Slightly funny. Mostly irritating.
I guess you had to be there.

This appears to be in the Pellar Theater downstairs next to the Castle Library. Lot's of impromtu shows, special events, smaller lectures, etc. take place down there.

Comedy act or Magic act or combination... he demands and keeps the attention of the audience.

Yes but not for 6 minutes. LOL
Re: Let this be a lesson to us all...
This is called 'Plan B', as we all know.
Re: Let this be a lesson to us all...
It is not The Magic Castle. There are steps down the middle isle. The only rooms that have steps are the Close-up room and the Parlour and neither of them have the steps down the middle.

Nope not the Magic Castle. There is no room like that with a raised stage and Terraced seating

He trying to be deliberately inept. He was mistaking frenetic movement for "funny".
The tell came when he dumped the deck out of the blue box onto the table and floor. It was just a scosh too contrived.
Criticism aside, his comedic instincts are good. He just needs direction and experience.

Re: Let this be a lesson to us all...
He moves around too much. At the beginning he goes from center to right to center to right. He can't stand still except for when something small happens, which is a HUGE tell.
Maybe if he calmed down a bit I'd have reacted differently than I did, but he didn't so I did.

A Tell.....A TELL!!!!!?????
You are acting as if he was a magician!
He is obviously a comedian and the audience found his parody of a magic act hilarious! Thus....SUCCESS!!!
Lighten up.

Scotto beat me to it, but I can verify that this is not at the Magic Castle.

He's got lots of clips on youtube, and I think he's pretty funny.
Just search for elliot the hawk. And the lesson is, don't take it so seriously, m'kay?

Yeah a tell. Any comedian worth half his salt knows you don't let the audience see the joke coming. Every time he slows down a joke happens, therefore a tell.
With that said, yes, the audience thought he was funny. I didn't. So call it a 99.9% success.

Re: Let this be a lesson to us all...
I don't understand why people never read any of the posted comments underneath a video.
They explain all.
That's an old video.
Sometimes, the comments posted are more entertaining than whatever the video was!
