Introduction: A Valuable Alternative to Reality TV Shows
In a world where reality TV can often misrepresent or exploit talent, the “VIP ADVICE” program offered a precious alternative, providing artists with practical advice. Every Sunday, magicians and circus performers benefited from the expertise of major industry figures. The goal was to help artists improve and find work while avoiding the pitfalls and risks associated with reality TV shows like AGT (America’s Got Talent). In total, 423 pieces of advice and comments were cataloged.
The participants:
Who Were the VIPs? The VIPs included significant producers, artistic directors, and eminent personalities from the world of magic and circus, all united to provide sound and sincere advice to those willing to listen.
Who Were the Artists? The artists who received advice from the VIPs were mostly established international performers, including magicians and circus artists.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Program
