Igor De Ruitz from Italy…

Acting/Character based performance of coins (with an Okito box).

Carefully scripted delivered in a rapid fire style… I found it hard to follow…

Kolos from Hungary…

Another competitor back from last year’s competition.

No language problem as he performs to taped music.

Included linking jumbo cards and a two cup and ball routine.

Not bad and maybe, based on what has been on so far, in the running…

Woody Aragon from Spain…

Woody starts with a joke about his bad English… he learnt it from Lennart Green’s dvds!

Card stuff follows based around dealing…

Nice personality…

Performing in a foregn language hampers the impact…

Not on my prize winning list (yet)…

Vittorio Belloni from Italy

Second on, coins and cards. Yep that means matrix.

Sitting down and doing matrix means a big coin production.

Now where can that have come from?

Not one of my winners….

Troy opens this year’s competition…

Troy was a huge hit for me last year with his fresh approach , Michael Jackson impressions and his delighful personality.
This year he did “magic” behind a table including Cannibal Cards and a Teddy Bear production.
Not the impact he made last year…

Another Ron’s Day Begins…

Early Arrivals…
The Magi start to gather at the Novotel in Euston for Ron’s Day (actually a weekend these days but it will always be Ron’s Day to me).
