To be fair, some of his stuff was ok. He had some okay sleights and pulled off sme well known illusions pretty well. He bills himself as a Gospel Magician, and in that element - he's probably pretty good. He's won some awards for a couple of routines - so he has to have some talent somewhere - He just didn't bring it this weekend.
The spectators seemed to enjoy the show, and that's great. Street festivals are about the audience and not petty squabbles, but it's hard to get past someone this rude to people in the same circle. Encroaching on space and lines, exposure, and basically trashing props and gimmicks like everything he did was original and not a variation of something else on the market - He uses rubicks cube props in place of sponges or chop cup balls, etc - but basically the same thing.
