I may be a ‘voice in the wilderness’, but I was quite disappointed in the highly-touted Bob Cassidy
Live lecture. There was little new in the almost-four-hour session. With the exception of a unique
use for a peek wallet, his other effects have been demonstrated and explained again and again. The
three envelope routine, for example, has shown up in at least three of Bob’s books and his earlier
Mental Miracles DVD. The same is true of most of the other effects that he demonstrated.
Far too much time was dedicated irrelevant stories about ‘the good old days’. These may have
been amusing, but they're not what I’d paid to see. In fact, the anecdotes resulted in a time
crunch which forced Bob to run through his routines and explanations very quickly.
Lastly,
Bob may be a ‘functioning alcoholic’, but witnessing him repeatedly fill his coffee cup with (what I
presume to be) rum and coke was very much out of place. Even President Obama manages to keep his
smoking habit off camera.
‘Sorry, but I regret having spent nearly $25 to see the same
old-same old.
