GENTLEMEN, THE WORLD'S GREATEST MENTALIST, LIOR SUCHARD. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH AMERICA
AND JEREMY.
Way too many reveals of the time, imo. You could tell Piven was completely underwhelmed by it. America looked amused but not shocked at all.
And what was the point of trying to figure out the 6:05 by reading Piven's mind but then having a t-shirt and instagram showing that he knew the selected time all along?? It doesn't make sense.
This just seemed like a mess of effects strung together (Cesaral's clock, PK time, Instagram/Mentalgram reveal, etc.), and drawn out way too long.
I don't think it's too much. It works great for the audience and it works great for James. The other two are underwhelmed because they know how he knows and that's it I would say.
The producers don't really care about impressing the 2 guests, they want a good reaction from the host and a good reaction from the audience, and they have it.
Sure for magicians it might be too much, but for the layman they simply don't make the connections between the different reveals like "oh he has a t-shirt with the time so he didn't read it in his mind but knew before the show" and it works for them.
Agreed but what happened at the end with the names?
