| - "Eek! Methinks not" is RIGHT! (one star because we couldn't go lower)
I'm writing this as my family and I are cracking up in horror, disbelief, and embarrassment. We saw the show an hour ago and can't stop making fun. We were so NOT entertained, the only way to make it worth our money is to laugh our asses off at how incredibly stupid and awkward this show was. We had a party of 12 people and here's what each said:
9 year old boy #1: I thought it would be more magical. Is the fiance from Hooters?
9 year old boy #2: My teenage cousin is better at magic in our living room. Laaaa-- aaaaaame!
10 year old girl: The show was more about HIM than him doing magic. I wanted to put a paper bag over my head. Not that the person himself stinks, he just stinks at magic...
11 year old girl: Are we at the right show?
12 year old girl: I'm ashamed of/for the mother (aka DJ M-O-M also dressed like Hooters girl).
12 year old boy: The mom looks like a hooker and the fiance IS a hooker (and we didn't even know he knew the word hooker)
14 year old boy: It was good huhuhuhuhuhuh
16 year old boy: Mom, if you EVER wore that...
mom #1: Why in God's good name would we want to see him lip sync an Elvis song while waltzing down the aisle shaking hands like an actual performer? Or play the drums with his one-tune dad? He was AVOIDING magic.
mom#2: The finger snapping is awkward and creeping me out. The stage manager looks mortified and MUST be a cousin working to earn his keep. I was uncomfortable.
dad#1: Tommy Wind is magic's answer to the Wolf of Wall Street. Goooooooooong
dad #2: no comment (in fear of bad karma...)
We simply could not make eye contact at the end. Meet and greet--me thinks NOT. We're too ashamed.
On a serious note, the positive reviews either have to be from friends and family, or we saw an extremely OFF night...For some constructive criticism--Tommy Wind's passion for show business is nice. Hopefully, he will perfect some tricks (we could see some of the tricks we shouldn't have seen) and focus more on magic than the music portion. We paid less for the Nathan Burton show last year and it was very good, so we expected some good illusions and slight of hand. Also, It's nice to work with family, but maybe he can work on integrating the family stories more smoothly.
