      I always thought the Magic Castle was filled with people too posh to act a fool when they see a “magic” trick. Being impressed doesn’t require any noise making until the end when you politely clap. These people are use to attending recitals and operas where you hold the applause till after the performance.

      I agree with the sentiment. It was a much better performance than the audience indicated, but, as some others have mentioned, you have to understand the venue. At least some portion of this crowd probably knew exactly how most of it was done, so wouldn't have been astonished. They no doubt, and no less, certainly appreciated the skill involved in performing it so well. I have personally gotten some really excited responses out of random people, and I would love to think that one day I could perform well enough to get that response from that crowd. Look @12:27 at the look on the guy on the left. That is better than astonishment. That is true appreciation.

    I come back to this video every now and then. Still amazes me each time. Also, the way you weave humor into your act in a way that lifts up the participants is wonderful. So many entertainers put down audience members in order to make a joke, but you elevate the experience when you interact with people. Lifts me up as well just watching. Thanks for doing that.

      Yes, he is exceptionally smooth. Really in a league of his own when it comes to smoothness, grace, and elegance. I’ve never seen anyone quite come close to capturing it. The way his hands move. It makes me wonder how he achieves it. If it was just inborn or purposefully cultivated…? Regardless, it’s magnificent and he’s such a humble guy.

    I want to first say, that comedy magic is probably one of the most entertaining genres for lay audiences. That being said, I prefer this more serious, classic genre of magic that Michael does so well; Ed Kwon does a very nice job with this genre as well. I think this audience was looking more for a stand up comedy show but what they received was a masterful magic show and I just don't think they understood. I'm just glad it was filmed, because I loved it. Thanks Michael!!

    Michael's pretty great. I enjoy watching his routines. My dad was a decent magician and would practice in front of me. I knew how he did the tricks but he wanted me to tell him if I saw 'the move'. Out of this entire routine I saw one 'move' only because I anticipated it and even that was supremely quick and slick.
