Elly: 9 min in full stage
Little girl with a good routine of juggling, works fast and made a nice opener

A very good comedy skit and an excellent cast. Got a lot of laughter and closed to a good hand.
Herschel Henlere: 26 min in 1
This well known pianist, working alone, was a big applause hit.

Nicely staged mind reading act. Has been widely advertised and they gave a very satisfactory performance. Closed to a fair hand.
