Who ever it is really needs to work on his crowd control.

I can't tell who it is but I recognize the pouch.

And his pacing, tone of voice...

DVD:s has impact!

Check out how this guy's show ends:

Most of my shows end the same way.

Busker tipping
Awwww, that's just WRONG!

kozmo

Like I said, crowd control people, crowd control! LOL

He must have bought Kozmo's Tales From The Street DVD's because he's using his lines.

and the accent...this makes me question the good of DVD's sometimes. Learning from books always made you interpret things to fit your style. Wow...

So first it was Gazzo clones...

..... Im not really sure how that doesn't upset you koz!

Wouldn't it be weird if this was actually part of the act, to gain sympathy from the crowd?

Look, Kozmo sold the DVD. If this dude wants to be a poor imitation of Kozmo (right down to the slight "Irishey" accent) why does this bother you guys so much? The guy isn't doing himself any favors by mimicking someone else's show, but the show is there, in a box, for him to use.

Where can I see a vid of your show so I can razz you about all the appropriated business and bits you fellows use?

Hes free to use anything he wants.....i sold it....have at it

That was me. I know I need to work on a lot of things including crowd control. (I am new to this compared to a lot of guys.) It is also true that there is a lot of Kozmo in it. I had an opportunity to learn from him. He is the man when it comes to this stuff, he has also seen me do much worse than this. I have come a long way and still have a long way to go but the fun is in the journey getting from here to there. Last time I seen Koz he even teased me. "Its been so long since I worked I am gonna have to watch you to remember it."

If you guys have any thing constructive to say I can take it.
If you are just gonna make fun of me then..I just don't care Life goes on and is to short to worry about that.

To Koz I still say I can not thank you enough for the time you have spent with me and the knowledge that was shared.
I know I am a nobody and just a tender foot but in the mean time I love doing this stuff and I know that is shared with a lot of you on here.

Chad thanks for posting that I had no clue it was up. although I hate watching my self I find it painful sometimes.

Good on ya, Ray.

Funny how some guys will say "you've got to go out and fail to learn how to succeed" and then publicly crap all over someone who is doing just that.

Keep working and learning.

John

Ye well ray, I was a no body once too....go to work....work hard and toil....and you wil be great....use what you want...we are friends...

guys its ok for him to be doing my stuff and he actually does it pretty well

koz

I think it's good seeing someone with the balls to get out there and try.

The only thing I really notice is that the way you've got your set up, there's a natural tendancy to for the crowd to build up behind you, which means you can't see them blocking the entrance of the shop. Blocking a shop is a good way to get run off.

John thanks,
I also find it funny that when people ask for resources such as books or dvd's, a lot of people are quick to chime in to seem more knowledgeable. Yet when you follow there instruction people on here want to crucify you for being a clone. Cellini learned from Slydini, I have yet to hear of Cellini getting bad mouthed for being a Slydini clone. It is also well known that he did do a lot of Slydini material. It goes on Down the line.
Every one does Vernon stuff,as far as c and b goes Gazzo had Vernon in his routine, Vernon had Malini, Malini, had Bosco just to name a few.

It is also funny that people want to take minute and a half clip and make judgments on the whole thing. There are a few original ideas in the whole show, yet no one has seen the whole thing to comment on that.
