The Next Uri Geller February 3

German show.

Not bad.

Though I was impressed more by charisma of celebrities - 2 pretty blondes and an old imposing man - than by contestants (except Amila). But I liked all acts.

Waayatan - "dangerous path". I have watched this act before but liked this version more. At first - jolly blondes which set barriers. Music (drum) was very good and together with fires created an aura of something wild and primal. Though I suppose he could watch everything from under bandage, so at first I didn't worry but when he had to step scorpions... yes, it was something special.

Daniel and Gabriel - painting at 2 boards. In the beginning I thought maybe they have a code signal, and one informes another about a shape which a girl drew so it could be not telepathy at all. But last task (the sun with clouds and rain) was more complex, and I am not sure how they did this. I liked his hesitation even if it was acting.

Manuel Horeth - act with a girl on a chair and a book with flowers. I didn't understand exactly what it was about but the girl, the book and flowers were very nice.:)

Amila

Child's game - "Guess what hand?". But Amila is so charming that it was affecting. In spite of her mistakes in the end. Amila's image is so sexy that makes me think maybe she really danced stripping in her youth? Though I can't call her a good mentalist and don't think she could be "the next Uri Geller" but she obviously adorned the show. Amila is out. Ok, it was her time.

The next Uri Geller January 20

The German show became much better, more dynamic and comprehensible. I liked all acts.

As for contestants most of all I liked Aaron Crow - really charismatic. Great costume.
I enjoyed his act with an apple, arrow and a ring. Very beautiful, nothing needless.



Besides Aaron I want to mention Gabriel and Daniel.





The act was simple but very nice. I know that these things really exist. Not long time ago I played myself in metro like this making passangers move their hands.:))) Background with faces was also very good.

Manuel Horeth - not original act with a phone book but well done.

Amila - Near drowning in a water tank.

She had to guess a four-figure code which would enable her to get out. But she could only get two of the numbers right – not enough to open the lock.
As the clock ticked down, she thrashed around and was completely under the water for about 25 seconds.
Millions of viewers saw an assistant rush onstage with bolt cutters to snap open the chains that kept Amila captive.
Amila was voted and got through to the next round of show despite her evident failure to perform the trick.



Very nice - I just have written some days ago about escape from a water tank and that the show needs incidents - and here they are - an incident with a water tank. It seems my thoughts materialize with the velocity of light.:)

Waayatan - Shadow Connection.

"Oscar" for entourage. Very beautiful screen with shadows, fire, background, red costume.
