Thanks for the wonderful clips of Johnny and Pam, and great commentary to go along with them all. Aaron was spot-on with Johnny making it all look like "magic". Too many of today's magicians are more about showing their skills instead of concealing them and being that I'm of the "old skool", I think the greats who came before us all would be rolling in their graves at this "cardistry" BS. (Just my take on the "look what I can do" attitude we see so much of.) Thanks again, guys. I know Johnny would be flattered to see his decades of meticulous work and talent being appreciated.
I've watched a lot of videos from the Magicana channel showing classic clips from The Magic Palace and the audience was awful. Patrick Page did well but most of the other acts got very little reaction. Also Paul Harris' first appearance was weird and a bit awkward to watch.
This was such a great revisit of Johnny Thompson ! Loved all your comments! God rest his soul! Pam was great as his assistant !

I first saw the great Tomsoni on the Paul Daniels magic show here in the U.K. on tv maybe in the early 90’s.
I saw a video of Charlie Miller doing Malini’s egg bag routine and that egg on top of the bag vanish was there.
I’m not saying everything Johnny Thompson said should be taken as Gospel but if you disagree make sure you got reasons

It is weird that the audiences are like that there. It's not like that at the Magic Castle.... they are usually roaring with laughter and fun there.
Paul Harris was awkward in those days
