    The truth is that he has four, but he's very good at keeping one of them hidden.

    It's a simple illusion but that execution is divine. I've seen a few multi-leg acts but this is the first one that truly pulled off the optical illusion. I have no idea what you're using for the third leg but the mechanics of it must be pretty intricate, well done.

    I've seen all the multiple-leg acts in the US and in Europe from 1960 on. I've seen Milton-pede the thousand-legged man, Ten-Foot Jerry Lang, Gladys Wilson-Tate, the Spider-Woman, Ben Octopus Reilly, and all the other greats. This man managed to do with 3 legs what Frank Charles couldn't do with a dozen. He can write his own ticket on the multi-limb circuit.

  • @noahjwhitmore
    @noahjwhitmore ปีที่แล้ว +121

    Very cool act! Like Teller "said", the best part wasn't proving that all three were real, but it was proving that all three were fake. Had me guessing which ones were real the whole time. Penn had a lot of good things to say about you, well deserved! Congrats on being on the show!

    Being a magic dilettante (amateur), I can "see" the sheer artistry and craft involved in this totally amazing performance.

You got a fan!

    I absolutely love this act! There have been various other three-legged acts (Jake the Pegg, Rudy Coby etc.) but they all tend to wear long coats. This is so cleverly constructed (both as a theatrical piece and the leg) - and as P&T point out, the trick is to present all the legs as fake, not just a fake leg as real. Really want to see the four-arm routine and a two head routine now!
