Although I'm not a massive fan of BGT/AGT, I was really impressed by Anna's performance. Her energy was amazing, and the audience reactions (even if enhanced in post-production) showed that cardistry can be captivating when performed slowly! I also appreciated how she carefully blended the manipulation and magic elements of her act.
Thanks for the thoughtful analysis of Anna's performance, David.
I was never a big fan of the Got Talent or other reality TV shows either, but it's today's version of the Variety Show and biggest opportunity as an entertainer so thought it's always worth a look at.
Oh, I agree. It is culturally relevant and, on balance, does more good than harm in promoting the art of magic. My kids absolutely love the show. I wish they'd give every performer a chance to succeed or fail on their own merits.
True, I don't think drama is necessary at all, especially for those who are there to seriously show off what they can do and not enter as a joke, which is fair game however they're presented
