Last but not least: The new media favorites

 What are the Swiss good at? Until recently, you might have said: making cheese and stirring chocolate. Or, of course, being neutral and discreet and looking after other people's money. However, at a time when the two largest Swiss banks are posting losses in the billions, confidence in their competence in these areas has been considerably shaken. We would rather emphasize a new Swiss strength: television suitability. First, 18-year-old Stefanie Heinzmann from Valais swept all her rivals out of the studio with her powerful voice on Stefan Raab's talent show SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD on ProSieben, then Swiss-French dual national Quentin Mosimann won the Star Academy show produced by French broadcaster TF1, and finally, on Tuesday, Bernese magician Vincent Raven won the title of "The Next Uri Geller". The magician impressed with his mental skills and mystical performance and was chosen as the winner by the audience. "The flapping wings of my ravens will watch over you!" Raven assured his fans in a press release. Let's hope they don't defecate in the process. Anyone interested in the resolution of the tricks can find important information on YouTube. Vincent Raven will amaze everyone else once again with his magic next week on the show "The Next Uri Geller - The Best Mentalists in the World". Incidentally, Raven plans to use the prize money of 100,000 euros to build a raven farm.
