Micahel Grasso was the magician that was eliminated by the judges after he performed a nice card manipulation routine. He\'s getting another chance in the Wild Card Show this week and could make it back into the competition. Very strong mix of magician\'s this year. Here\'s his audition performance.



Here\'s the manipulation routine which was his undoing (I think it was great) as the judges put through Murray with the appearing car trick with the rather obvious method.

Nice to see Michael Grasso advance to the semi-final show where 4 of the final 24 acts are magicians.

Hi Matt,

thanks for posting.
I had the chance to watch the Youtube performances you posted just now, and I liked them both. That Guy HAS talent, to me.

I liked one thing during the manipulation. Maybe this was due to the strict TV times allowed, but I liked a lot the fact that the card manipulation was kept short and to the point.

I mean: during some congresses or stage contests I\'ve seen guys doing cards manipulations (even VERY difficult) for 6 or 8 minutes.
Like they were doing in the 40\'s... !!!

C\'mon, Cardini was one of a kind. It\'s time to find some different coreographies, to me, and mr.Grasso is on the right way.
Just my personal 2Cents based on my personal tastes, btw...

Pier- Yes they typically only get 90 seconds so they really need to do something impressive in a short period of time.

FYI - Here\'s the performance from last week:

Well Michael didn\'t win but he made it to the top 10 which means he will on the US tour which is a big deal. I did enjoy Copperfield in the final where he did the Motorcycle opening and the illusion where he compresses himself. I think it\'s all great for magic.
