    David Blaine - Page Six Article + JB's Response

    While I agree with everyone, all the great magic that happened before, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. When something like that is sooooo hyped up, and then fails, you can't help but focus on the error at the end. True, it was one helluva special with some incredible pieces of magic...

    Exile performed by D

    7 pages of this crap?!?!? Sheesh...I'm surprised the kid hasn't already gone off on you guys, which some of you deserve it. In all honesty, it's a joke how many people on here think that they're completely original, but in the grand scheme of things are just another copy of their favorite...

    My Apologies

    Wow... I want to say I'm surprised by Matty's generosity, but in all honesty, I'm not. This is just the kind of person he is, and it fits who he is to the "T"...... In fact, it's acts of kindness like this that help to strengthen the community as a whole, and Matty is a perfect example of the...

    Approached over website - Bookings

    I normally get the time, date, type of show (strolling, stand up, close up, etc), # of people, etc. As for forms, unless the show is last minute, I get an address to mail out a contract. That basically says they pay x amount up front, and the rest when I arrive before the show. Failure to do...

    THAT was the "Dive of Death"?

    Don't get me wrong...David/s magic was second to none. Then again, his magic has never been in question so I feel no need to go there. The bullet catch? Simply superb. I would have to say my favorite part of the special was his Hundy 500 performance. Nothing comes closer to real magic, than...

    THAT was the "Dive of Death"?

    WTF???? I thought I missed it at first, or it was leading up to something but that??? :rolleyes: I was very impressed with everything else, just thought the ending was a bit lacking due to such hype....

    Little Story

    Recognition is what keeps us going. If it weren't for any praise, we'd all just get bored and quit. Great story too!! -Steve

    Saying bye for a while guys!

    Shane, Sounds like your itinerary is packed dude! Sheesh...when do you have time to eat, sleep, and shower?!? :eek: Anyways, best of luck to you. I think that's not only incredibly generous, but says a lot about your character. And to be perfectly honest, what you're doing is something we...

    Guess who's back?!

    That would be me...but this time, I didn't come looking for the gig, it found me by way of someone whom many of you will recognize the name. Today I got a call from Eric Henning...most will probably know him, so no introduction is necessary. Anyways, turns out he got a new restaurant, and he...

    Making a Magic Club at School?

    I'm with Sinful on this one...without trying to crush anyone's ideas, I don't think it would draw much of a crowd either. In school, doing the "cool" thing is often a big part of making decisions in school. Let's face it, most of what we do in school, i.e. joining clubs, elective classes...
