Incroyable Talent Semi Finals- Dressing Flash

Dressing Flash were the first magic act to compete in the live shows in this year's series of Incroyable Talent.


HOW DID THEY DO?



Dressing Flash's live show routine was an improvement on their audition, because it had more personality, and incorporated skills outside of Quick Change. However, it was still a weak performance. The duo did a routine to a medly of James Bond themesongs including "Goldeneye" "Diamonds Are Forever" and "You Know My Name". There was plenty of clothes changing, but the majority of the routine was centered around a simple transpostion trick where the female member got into a box covered by a screen, appeared to remove her clothing, and vanished. The male member then appeared to walk through the box, before it was revealed that the two members had switched places- The woman was in the man's clothes, and the man was in the box.It ws a solid trick, but not particularly great. Some of the clothes changes were creative, but the routine failed to convince as a homage to James Bond- why didn't the male member wear the Tuxedo, White Shirt and Bow Tie combination associated with Bond? All in all, their performance was decent, but not great. Dressing Flash showed range and creativity, but not enough to stand out or impress the audience

WHAT DID THE JUDGES SAY?

Dressing Flash  recieved to X's from judges Sophie Edelstein (Herself a magician) and Gilbert Rozon. Sophie felt that the costume changes were unconvincing and that she had seen it all before, whilst Gilbert felt they weren't ready yet. Fellow judge Dave, though, praised their performance.

DID THEY GO THROUGH?

Unsurprisingly, given the judges negative comments, Dressing Flash failed to make the next round.
