It's right up there with Copperfield flying in my opinion. It's really unfortunate the judges buzzed prematurely. I don't think they even heard a word of the song being played. Rudy knows that if the whole point of the trick was the appearing clown, it would be lame. And that's why it's merely theatrical misdirection for what I consider to be one of the most beautiful switched in magic. I hope the judges eventually realize what a mistake they made. Also, I felt like the camera was horrible - I there was so many cuts from so many angles, it was very difficult to know what was happening. I fear that the TV audience didn't know what happened. Eric Buss though, that's sad what happened to him to. It was a very sad episode for me, that's for sure. Puck? over Eric Buss AND Rudy Coby? oh wow. This is interesting.
