Woody Harrelson was on Letterman promoting his new movie, in which he plays a mentalist. Apparently, he studied some mentalism and hypnosis in preparation for the role. Here's a clip, where he does Hoy's book test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6eICRkRtGQ There's a kind of simplicity...

You sound insane right now. If you calm down and actually present an argument, you may be able to push your ideas somewhere.

I can attest from the other end of the spectrum, that as a gay adult male, I don't want to see it either. Talking about cameras: I had a discussion with a friend of mine just a few weeks ago about this very subject, saying I wanted to borrow a camera of his to film a skit, and him volunteering...

No, I'm just saying, that the Stigmata effect is specifically the reveal on the arm. Everything else about it is just moves and sleights. The Acidus Novus is just a utility, it's not what makes Stigmata "Stigmata." You can use the Acidus Novus for most any peek. But when you then reveal the...

That's not Stigmata, then. That's just a peek. A very good one, though.

Huh! How much material does that get you? Can you fill thirty minutes or an hour, or so? That's pretty interesting. I assume when you say "pen," you also mean paper or some kind of billet material to go with it?

It's the same whether you watch it on-line or on TV. It was over the air hypnosis, the video did absolutely nothing. The reason Derren fed everyone that line about having to watch it on TV is so you'd watch the whole special, which was filled with prep-work towards hypnotizing you.

I thought the actual program was really sub par, same with the lottery prediction. It's just not up to the same quality as, say The System or Messiah or any of his live shows. It's bordering on amateurish. Still hoping for some big twist as the Events continue, though, that will make them better.

Anyone else visit any non-magic forums where people are discussing this and driving themselves up multiple walls discussing various methods and explanations? It's awesome stuff. I'm all set to watch the reveal later tonight, but I've read in lots of places that it was kind of disappointing...

Curses. Thanks!

Was this ever aired? The first two, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Evening of Wonders, are available to see on video, and I was excited when I heard rumor of awesome stuff going on this time around. Alas, fruitless labor. Anyone know if Enigma got the video treatment, and if so...

That wasn't really "camera tricks" in the regard everyone's talking about. That was more so just a poor editing job, probably thrown in after the trick when some of the film crew said, "Let's get a close-up shot on who he threw it to." Also, that mass levitation sounds pretty cool.

It's the Red Parkas versus the Inuit Kingz.

Shouldn't do that either. But you can still make intelligent statements towards the topic at hand, right?

The whole, "everyone is different and everything is okay" argument is really the worst. Pretend for a second that we all know that basic bit of human nature and discuss what's at hand.
