Spat is one Magical Dude, but in this week's sketch he gets Uber-Magical!

"The Uber-Magic Man" by The Lava Factory (http://www.thepokeshow.com/the-uber-magic-man-sketch-comedy-with-magic-and-dancing/poke-show-sketches/2007/07/29/)

Written and Performed by Denis Logan

I get the feeling that somebody wanted to play with their greenscreen ;)
It's funny, but not really original. I've seen some hilarious magician sketches (see "Street Magic," Dutch West) and this didn't add anything to the concept.
Otherwise, congrats on the continued short output.

In Denis' defense he's been sick all week with the flu and threw this together so as not to let me down.

But I gotta say the sausage bit was hilarious in my eyes.

The sausage and "another ball" were actuallly from magic videos we found under Harmeet's bed long ago that we found fucking funny as hell. I just threw together an Eastern European accent, an Elvis suit and colored my face with permanent markers. It actually set back my recovery a day. I'm STILL kinda loopy in the stomach.

But regardless, thanks for the comments.

That was funny - especially the ending.

There seems to an obsession with sausage and balls. LOL

Good job.

"And another ball!"

Good use of the NASA footage shared with us on that previous post.

I couldn't stop laughing... but I can still see that Spatula is still sick as hell.

Spat, you definitely get points for working through your illness.


The sausage didn't look like it tasted like sausage, though... :lol:

Thanks again for the comments.

By the way, now you all know my REAL voice... that's a Canadian accent. For real. ;P

Canada.

Beer? Check.
Hockey? Check.
Weed? Check.
Bob & Doug...?

You hoser.

I'm SOOOO not bringing any pootsa-rooskie south of the border!! LOLOL... That would be STUPID! I'm only bringing my .12 gauge on the plane anyway... does that qualify as carry-on?

He seemed really upset that there was not sausage! :D

My favorite things about Toronto are Ruth's Chris downtown, Molsen Canadian and Black & Tans (my first and last perfect shamrock experiece was in Markham), Cuban Cigars, and the crunch of snow beneath my feet in Winter.

My least favorite experience is it took me an hour to find Nyquil one late, miserable night. Even Wal Mart was closed. What's up with that? :weird:

About your magic, you didn't 'show' an empty hat, so it wasn't very magical. Comical, yes. Now if you pulled a rabbit (hamster?) out of your ass, then THAT would've been magically hilarious. :lol:

That's the sequel.

After watching it multiple times, I find the finger trick to be the best one.

At least it's the one I will wow my future kids with.

funny stuff man. i like the music.
