Michael Finney - Comedian & Magician "The Early Days" 1983

[@Anubis73]

I love how he deals with hecklers.

Sometimes a heckler is part of the show! Michael has a great act, and it's his comedy that makes it wonderful. Anyone can learn to do those tricks, but it's how he involves the audience, and the quips that makes it HIS show. Very nice!

I saw Michael in Blackpool UK in 2011, he is one of the funniest magicians that I have ever seen with a routine that has lasted nearly 30 years! Well done sir, an absolute genius.

College kids can be tough but even then (at a young age) he handled them masterfully. Love his show.

He's magic:)

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Absolutely a great entertainer. Is this show before or after the accident.

[@illusionistdave1]

I love this. I've watched it probably a few dozen times over the last many months. I noticed when he was doing the trick for Sal, Sal opens his eyes just very briefly and might notice the card and MIchael whispers "it's okay. just play along." This is around 15.30. Anyone know if that's the case? Michael just plays it off so smoothly if that's the case.

[@bradenpole1156]

sharp as a tack. like a pin. so basically, "your smart!"

[@CristoofRomania]

At 11:40 he's saying "sharp as a ...." ? I don't understand.

[@TwentyFourSlevin]

At 20:20 Michael whispers to the spectator "don't lean on me again". I wonder what that's all about. Is he afraid she is gonna ruin his suit?

[@combatsambonyc]

Never acknowledge a heckler. Unless that's your thing.

[@Smoothini]

Ha!!!! I beg for them at my show's. I think people only come for that reason at times. lol

[@JoshSitar]

Man, his hair is just like Gary Spivey's "hair" in this! If you don't know who that is, look it up; you'll LOL.

[@CristoofRomania]

@alster4444 thank you

[@illusionistdave1]

15:30

[@felicity4711]

It’s not the size of your deck. It’s how many tricks you can do! I don’t mind him going after hecklers but he’s a little too mean to the rest of the audience.

[@JoelSamuelProductions]

Thanks for watching

[@felicity4711]

NP! Thanks for uploading all this great vintage 1980s video. ☺

[@TwentyFourSlevin]

If that was supposed to be a joke I think he would have said it out loud. Besides that, it dosen't even seem funny. Look at some of the other stuff that Michael has done over the years. You are never in doubt wheater he is joking or not.
