Kinda Sad

Topas is a good magician.... but he is getting older. That's normal. But trying to hide the fact by wearing a bandana is kind of sad.



Same with other German magicians. Like Florian Zimmer. Hopefully not a trend!

It fits the routines, but still...

Umm how did Tim get mentioned here? He's not wearing a bandanna in either of those clips and is in fact wearing a costume for both.
Not sure what your point was supposed to be KikeNiCo.

I tought the thing was "old people dressed like young", just like Topas and the bandana, or Florian and the hip-graffiti-kiddo thing.
And for the record, I don't mention it in a mean way: it's clear to me that the Ellis routines are funny cheesy acts on purpose.

Considering the old rock Topas is basing his routine on, I think the headband isn't meant to make him look young but to evoke a character type. Headbands are pretty standard gear for an aging rocker -- check out Stevie Van Zandt from Bruce Springsteen's E Street band for example. I'm not saying it works but that's my guess for what he was after.
