I was stood in a village pub just outside Bradford and it was on the telly. Was chatting with the landlord about how good he was and he says "You should tell his Mum - that's her standing next to you"
It was as well....his Gran and Grandad were also in.
I think he had another polo in his hand when he was holding the necklace and when he pulled it away from his neck the polo dropped down. I guess he had some skin-like prosthetic on his neck (Blaine did something similar with thread I think).
Yeah, that one was one of the easier ones to spot, polo was in his hand and when he whipped the chain forward, he drops it down
He's obviously very skilled with cards but, a few of the bigger tricks, got to be stooges.
How did he pull that Polo out of his throat?

You can see that he throws the phone in his hand inside his jacket. From the way he's standing the bottle in his hand has been swapped for another while everyone is looking at the phone, probably by the guy standing behind him.
Only question then is how they get the right model of phone into the bottle.
I love the card tricks and sleight of hand stuff. You know it's sleight of hand, but you just don't know how he does it.
For the bigger tricks, he must be using stooges and camera tricks because they are so impossible, you know that's what they must be and that spoils it for me. The tattoo trick, film name on the side of the cinema, teleport trick from one building to another etc are all examples.
Great showmanship of course, but for me, too obviously done with stooges and/or camera tricks.
Another thing that has annoyed me, he's done one of the card tricks in 3 different shows of this series now (the sign your name, put card in your mouth switch) and the matrix style, bending over backwards trick in each show as well.
It's the mobile phone in a bottle one that has me stumped. Very impressive.
I enjoyed it. Very much like Blaine, even down to the jolty cameras and close ups. I just hope he doesn't use stooges; that feels like cheating.
I'd like to know how he did that one with the tattoo of the eye last night. Clever.
Just been arguing with a mate about this.

All looks pretty obvious to me - just slight of hand, basic psychology and some willing collaborators
It's entertaining and his tricks are very professionally done. He does the sort of stuff that David Blaine used to do before he thought it was clever to sit in a box or block of ice for days on end.
