The saddest thing... this guy is not at all bad with technique. If he put his efforts into an original act, he might really have something, Although while he can do the sleights well, he hasn't a fraction of the charm and personality of Mirko. Proof positive why copycats acts can never match the original.

It's sad to watch. And a bit shocking. I mean, c'mon, even the necktie and, well, EVERYTHING.

But, back to Mirko ... Michael, my thoughts went to Vito Lupo, too. Not like this was a copy, in any way. Just that this looked like a 2013 "take" on the same sweet-spirited and playful type of act with lovely technique.

Really wonderful performance.
Thank you for sharing the video.

You understood my post.

Here's a bubble act from 1931. Griff the Clown who finishes his act with a funny vent bit.
