Project 365 (298/365): Kevin James Audition On AGT

.:298/365: Kevin James Audition On AGT:.

I’m a huge fan of new school magic packaged in an old school manner, and this is really what Kevin James managed to achieve in his audition for America’s Got Talent. It’s an illusion I have never seen performed the way he has, but the way he conducts himself and the way he sets everything up feels just so old school that the charm of the whole thing really makes one pause to think for a while.

I think that in terms of style, this is the way I like to perform full-on stage magic: something new dressed up as something old, playing on everyone’s expectations while you’re doing it.
