I saw this show live in Nottingham and wasn't impreseed to be honest. I really like his TV shows but watching the show live most of the tricks are easy to figure out.
Can you give us an explanation of one?Edited by russ_a on Thursday 6th January 22:37
I am glad im not alone 
also good to know that some of the audience was not paid of to participate in the acts.
That whole show was just mind boggling, i had a few doubts when they used the poles and curtains for the spirit part but other than that it was great. I love how he ties all his show together it all adds to the mystery.

Really. I think a third and be worked out fairly easily. Another third you can work out by thinking about them logically. The other third is simply how the f

and certainly didn't remember drinking vinegar.
Vinegar... think about it..... First woman puts drops of vinegar on hand. Yuk! It's vinegar.DB then unscrews cap and pours vinegar into cup which is then drank.....
Perhaps the cap is a small container that contains all of 5ml of vinegar, but the actual bottle contains tea or coke?

I will be looking in to buying tickets, at the minute there is no seats available that i want. I am now on the mailing list for future venues.
Saw this show live in Wimbledon where it was filmed - might even have been the night televised.
He's a real entertainer, and very good at what he does. I have no truck with "magic" shows, they don't interest me, especially all that "cutting the woman in half" crap - we know it's a trick, I don't know how it's done, but I'm not particularly bothered.
What I like about DB is that he is totally up front about what he does - a mixture of misdirection, cold reading, sleight of hand, etc. and he is the consummate showman. Very funny and erudite. I had no idea how he did the tricks, but they were very convincing.
Go and see him live, it's a great atmosphere.
Oh, and he does a blinding impression of Stuey from Family Guy!

I seen this show in Dublin when it was on. I was sitting beside a couple. The girl of the couple stood up and was brought down to the stage. I can't remember which trick it was. But the boyfriend was freaking out. Couldn't watch it at all. It wasn't an act that's for sure.
Some things like picking McFly and the confetti are all just suggestion etc, although we were trying to look out for that kind of thing and never noticed anything. But god that guy is good at what he does!

Pour a few drops of your palm... lick them. Do it again just to make sure.
Now pour a glass of water for yourself and smell it.... Does it smell of vinegar by any chance??
