German show - semi final.
Not bad. Most of all I liked act of Manuel Horeth - "Filmexperiment". Manuel looked great in his costume and so confident, charming, a real film director.:) And the act was excellent. I liked fantastic background with a rolling film and happy shouts of audience in the end. I don't know how the act could be done - was it hypnosis or something else, I can't explain it. Did he really influence people, predicted their answers, or was it miracle of enginery?
Ully Loup - Out of body (sculpture).
It seems his out-of-body trip was not successful as Ully couldn't immediately say what is it and model the car which the girl (Alexandra) had chosen and put into the black box. :) And he had to read her mind or something like this.
I liked her walk and how they showed it in the meantime with Ully's face.
As for other acts I didn't like them much.
Jan Becker read mind of Alex and wrote a poem. It was a little boring, he made mistakes, some detailes were irrelevant. Though maybe he really read her mind? I was more surprised and impressed by Uri's reaction, he looked shocked. I wonder why? Even if all this was true the act didn't shock me.
Jan Rouven - Burning Man. (4 canisters, 3 with easily flammable gasoline, 1 with water, 3 scarecrows and Jan which are poured by celebs.)
I have seen already something like this in Dutch show, it was boring to watch it again, especially because there were almost no action, no stress, just a lot of talks. Alexandra looked disinterested too. I understand why Jan is out. I expected more from him.
Hope that Ully Loup or Manuel will win next week.
Kiss of Ully Loup and Jan Rouven:

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 20
Dutch show. Nice.
Though there were no act which would make me cry or scream. Only one which made smile - it was Victor's act. Sorry that he is out.
Tooske was very beautiful, and Uri looked well, I especially liked his laugh. Usually he is too serious and at first I even thought he doesn't have a sense of humour.
Most of all I liked Doctor Victor's act which made a fat Patty do physical exercises, tests and predicted results. It was really funny, especially the exercises with a red ball.:)
Reinder - Spiritual mind joining - act with coloured sand, Ferry and Belle. Ferry made a wish what Belly should do - sit on his lap, say "You're nice" and kiss him. And Reinder put this wish into her head. Good act, sand and music were beautiful. And it really worked.
The Mask - Bed of Death (falling swords).
I have seen this act in German show but still liked this one. Good idea with a shield which Uri offered to the girl to protect her. Cool game with masks in the beginning. And it was a great incident when some people run to the stage to unmask the performer.:)
Vincent Vampire - Newborn, he guessed a sign burnt on his head.
I really enjoyed the beginning when Uri gave Vincent garlic to check if he is a real vampire or not.:) And put the garlic near on the table. But I suppose Uri should take the garlic away after Vincent's act or he was afraid that other contestants could be vampires too?:)))
As for Vincent's act I didn't like it much. The dirt on his eyes, all the self-tortures... I felt most part just pity to the performer.
Jochem - Carnival
Act with confetti. He asked celebrities to draw a carnival's symbol, grind up the paper, and in the end of the act the symbol was figured on the floor. The idea was not bad but there were not enough scenery to create an atmosphere and mood of carnival. Maybe some dancers in masks would help... It is strange because Jochem's scenery was excellent before. Here stage looked almost empty, just too much paper falling from above, and as Uri said it was necessary to clean the stage after the act.:)
Ghani & Yelle
I like the couple but not this time. At first Yelle didn't think about her hairstyle, dress, make-up. And all the arrows which the poor girl had to catch... Besides this it was too dark on the stage. The act could be not bad if she would deflect the arrows by her mental power instead of catching them. Uri gave them immunity - ok, maybe next time they will show something more interesting and exciting. Audience really adore them.

The Next Uri Geller February 17
German show.
Not bad though can't say that I am much impressed. It's already difficult to amaze or shock me.
Most of all I liked Ully Loup with a crystal ball. Ully was great like usual, the act was beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the camera's round.
Jan Rouven - "Nervenprobe" - act with paper cylinders and knives. I have seen the act before but it was not bad. Nasty Jan made a man - celebrity risk his hand:)
Manuel Horeth - who wanted to "prove that fear weighs heavy". Act with Vanessa and a spider.
Jan Becker - Psychometrie - he was going "to sense the energetic trace of fingerprints" - asked celebrities to give him rings, other small items and told something about them.
Waayatan - shaman, act with fire and runes. Celebrity had chosen a rune and he figured it by fire. Well, nice, beautiful, not more. He is out.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 13
Dutch show in the mystical date - Friday, 13
Well, not bad, though in general it became a little boring for me. Maybe just for me because as far as I know ratings yesterday were good.
Tooske was nice, I like her dresses with open arms.
As for the acts, most of all I was impressed by Victor - "doctor Victor" which could "read" forethought words by heartbeating, breathing, eyes, etc. I really liked his sick-room and a big screen with eye. It seems to me I understood the moment with eyes - when Eliza said 2 first words she winkled 2 times, when the word "noodlot" - 1, so he could understand it by this change and maybe there was change of her pupil as well.
Eliza is very beautiful girl and I liked camera work, her close up.
Uri said: "Very well done, quite unusual, it didn't blow me away but it was fascinating to me. Good job, doctor". I can say the same. Victor is my new favourite of the show. He is very handsome and charismatic.
Jochem didn't impress me much this time, I absolutely agree with Uri again that something was missing, and the act was not very interesting. Though it looked very beautiful and romantic in the beginning - a date with a pretty girl which he was going to "seduce" at Valentine's Day with candles, her favourite music, drinks, etc. But all the things after ("heartlets" with worms, fire, ice) didn't look essential for the date and obviously couldn't help Jochem to seduce the girl.:)
Michel - "mental detective" showed not bad act - again work with a "witness" which guessed detailes of crime (steal of purse). The act was nice but to show the same again and again - it really becomes boring, and I am glad that Michel is out.
The Mask
I don't believe that Uri Geller did this again - he stopped the act which looked "deadly"!
Uri, what are you doing???!!! When you visit circus you also stop perfomance there? Or these 2 guys (Jan Rouven in German show and The Mask in Dutch) didn't prepare acts and you covered them? And why have you invited Hayashi which showed really dangerous and deadly act with swords and cucumberes???!!! Why didnt' you stop him? It seems to me that Bety's hand was hurted! And obviously she was very scared.
Some words about Hayashi - in the end, I understood where Fugu took "samurai"'s image. Not bad, but can't say that I was much impressed.
Uri Geller's Act
- he sent audience telepathic message with 1 item of 5 which represent Holland. Very good, beautiful act and I even cried that I was right! Yes, windmill! But later I began to think how I got the image, I understood that it was a windmill at the moment when Uri was painting it, BEFORE he sent the mental message. So it could be intuition, not telepathy. As for audience, they could simply guess. I hope next time the task will be more complex.

The Next Uri Geller February 10
German show. Very nice.
I enjoyed most acts.
The best, to my mind, was Waayatan - "King of Shadows" who guessed by shadow what weapon a person keeps (knife, revolver, ax, etc.) The act was impressive in spite of mistakes - staging, music, and the mentalist looked great.
Second good act - Daniel & Gabriel
"Mentales Rendevous"
It was about the same perfomance like Jochem's in a Dutch show but new creative ideas (with photos and especially twins) made it still interesting for me.
Jan Becker which had found in audience a person with a photo was also strong. And I liked all people in masks. It was original.
As for acts which I liked not so much,
Ully Loup was great like usual with his big eyes but I didn't like the small items.
Manuel Horeth
"Rockband" (act with CDs)
It's a pity I didn't hear the music in the end. And it would be nice to add more dynamism. A little boring.
Jan Rouven
"Burning Ropes"
He was going to show something dangerous and interesting, but Uri... stopped the act. Still don't believe that it could happen. Maybe Uri was right, I don't know, but I am sorry about Jan because for me he was one of the best and I expected him to win the show...
Ok, he stays, Daniel & Gabriel are out. Hope next time Jan will show something great.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 6
Dutch show. Cool.
A lot of new, original, creative ideas.
Tooske was glorious. Great hairstyle and dress.
All acts were not bad though some needed more work.
Reinder - water tank with piranhas. I liked the short movie about the lovely fish.:)Though in reality they looked not so dangerous and impressive. Maybe Reinder should dive into the tank to find and take something from bottom by hand - for example, a shell with a pearl or a golden ring.
Vincent Doll Voodoo.
I liked beginning of the act with Vincent's singing and the ceremonial. It was beautiful and showy. But later the act became more boring, and even manipulation with a doll were not interesting and stressful enough.
Yelle & Ghani
An umbrella and water in the bottle. Good act. Very impressive appearance with the umbrella.
Robert
Nails and gloves. This act affected me most of all. I liked his scream.:)And the nail in a nose. It seems all this was real.
Rob & Emiel
I didn't like the artists but the act with oakum and especially "reading" a number of 50 euro note on distance were not bad.
Uri
I really enjoyed his act with a photo of Paris. Though I am sorry that didn't get the name of the city and the image. Maybe I need more practice or a personal training.:)Hope he will show acts like this more often.
I also liked when he broke a glass and run away in the end when learned that Vincent stays in the show.:)

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.
