Tyler's a charmer; show not much new or different
by Diogenes1 on 4/23/18Silver Legacy Casino - RenoRating: 2 out of 5If you are a dedicated fan of "Hollywood Medium", you may find Tyler Henry's performance to be too much of the same stuff you see on TV and read in his book. First, it is obvious that trying to conduct readings in a big room filled with tipsy gamblers isn't the best setting for any medium. Tyler's charm and energy come across well, however, and he is just as he appears on TV. He opens with his life lessons. Unfortunately, if you've read his book, he rehashes much of what you probably know already. During breaks between Tyler's casino readings, the show runs celebrity reading videos, which are reruns of what has been broadcast on "Hollywood Medium". Tyler jokes about everyone having a dead grandmother readings and he isn't kidding... Only three of his on-the-spot readings in the casino were truly interesting and/or fascinating to me. The most profound readings involved two different women (total strangers) whose relatives had each been shot and killed at parties. The third was a woman who had lost her mother and her daughter in an accident. One man being read appeared tipsy, resulting in a humorous reading. Others Tyler tried to read reacted like deers caught in headlights and froze on the spot, saying very little. I LOVED TYLER'S PARENTS!! Tyler is truly interesting and fascinating on TV and in his book. If Tyler revamps his live show and improves his system of selecting folks to ask him questions, it may become far more interesting. Not performing in a casino with large crowds, too much energy and too much booze flowing might make for a better show.
