I didn't really think the show was very good. It's really not the kind of thing I would spend too much time watching.
Lucky for me, I saw, certainly, one of the best acts they'll probably have simply watching "The Pendragons". That was very good. I'll give it a fourth yes, even though it means I'll be watching the show again.

I love the illusions you do and this one was better than when I saw it on YouTube. The reason is the simplicity of the setting. Just the two of you on an open stage with a box. It added an extra measure of Wow! to the performance. I wish you good luck on the show.

I finally saw you on AHT--What a lame show.
I'm glad you did Metamorphosis--It may be Houdini, but it's so astounding because it's so quick.
I don't know what reality shows are all about, but, Jonathon, was your nervousness feigned? As far as I'm concerned, you've got it hands-down as far as illusionists are concerned.
As far as the over-all prize goes, I think you guys and the Russian bar trio are tied. Both your acts would bring crowds into Vagas shows.
Good luck. For what it's worth, I think you're fantastic and I hope you win.
(Wanna share the Million if you do?)

I thought the performance was great. And they didn't cut away as much as they usually do, so the tv audience got a chance to really see the act.
I think the show itself is pretty bad, so much fake excitement, so much fake judge banter, or to be more accurate judge's fake banter, everything is so manufactured. And all those quick cuts of unnecessary audience and judge reaction taking time from the act itself, as though the producers didn't trust either the talent they hired or the tv audience. It seems like a show for kids.
I do love the ones who confirm to Jerry Springer how great they are, and then just suck.
But I look forward to the next Pendragon appearance, so let us know when it is please.

Questions for Charlotte, do you think the producers at some point pre-determine the winner, or is it really a fair vote?
What is the backstage atmosphere like? Last night they showed a crowd of people that looked like those old photos of immigrants in an Ellis Island waiting room. Are there taping calls and do they stay on schedule, or is it pretty much hurry up and wait?
(I imagine as the acts dwindle down to a precious few it will seem less chaotic)
When I heard them announce you on America's Got Talent I immediately knew who it was.You are true professionals and absolutely phenomenal.I will be watching and voting for you and your husband.I am so sorry he had an accident with a sword,but am glad he is ok.I know you have been doing magic for many a year and it is fabulous,remarkable.

Great appearance on AGT, Charlotte! I was a little annoyed at them for brushing you off as "what a lovely 'assistant'", though. Hmph! That shows such little understanding of what your role really is!
I'm still wincing after seeing that scar on Johnathan... owie!
