Hermann the Great

Most of the stuff that he does is done by other magicians, and some of them are done better. The worst part of his act is that it’s impossible to understand what he’s talking about. He carries a lot of scenery, also 3 or 4 helpers, so that the act looks big from the front. Don’t think he draws any money. Time 28 minutes full stage.
