Look fellas...obviously we can go on another 3 pages and we'll come to the same positions. Criss Angel will continue to make millions and have legions of fans...and critics, like any high profile person. We'll continue to argue on a message board, kind of silly. One day he'll be done and...

What is wrong with you guys? It doesn't matter if I DO! lol...it only matters if the general public does. Why do so many magicians live in a bubble? It's weird. It's not normal.

LOL@ the title of your thread. I'm probably going to lose most people with this story because you won't be interested, but I'm going to tell it anyway. Awhile ago I had a boss who was the most unethical person you've ever met. She was an amazing liar, seemingly very sincere and was a...

I'm a troll now eh? Isn't that what people say when they have nothing to say at all? I have talked about him Brad. And I don't show hate towards you because I haven't slammed you and your success. I've acknowledged it. I didn't critize you like you've done with Criss. That's the...

Descartes, they might have done a good job and it didn't reflect badly on magic...but did it highly increase the public's perception of magic? Did they walk away thinking that magic was awesome, cool, relevent, current? I didn't get the sense that the audience walked out of the studio...

Right. Why are we so afraid of being current?

I couldn't agree with you more, Wallmott. That's exactly the points I was trying to convey with my OP, but you said it more clear. Look guys, don't get me wrong....I highly respect the masters that came before us and I think their lessons should always be our foundation. But like Wallmott...

Exactly. Why are we as a community so fearful of those who connect with the general audience? It seems we automatically want to find the negatives instead of looking at WHY they were able to succeed where so many other raw talented magicians couldn't. I think somewhere in that bad attitude...

That's an interesting take, James. But I don't know if that can be used as an excuse because that reasoning can be used for anything. MySpace was dominant when Facebook came along. Circuit City was dominant when Best Buys came along. David Blaine was famous when Angel came along. There...

Thank you to the guys who understood where I was getting at. Please...no more "XX magician is better than YY magician" posts, no positives come from that. A few guys brought up some great questions and I would like to see some intelligent dialogue come from that. The popular, sweep it...

Are you seriously critizing someone for being on the Ellen show? Are you seriously making "sex symbol" a negative thing? LOL! Wow. Stay in your basement why don't you.

Thanks Brad...I knew someone like you would eventually have to brag and that simply proves all the points I needed. Like I said before, if anyone of you had Criss's opportunities you wouldn't remember how to spell T11. You think lisiting what you did makes you somebody....that's why you did...

Relax...this isn't another Criss Angel debate. I promise. But I would like to pose a serious question: Why do so few magicians positively make it to the mainstream consciousness? If you look at any genera of entertainment, be it music, sports, or movies, there are always "new blood" that...

JetEyeNight and Brad - Your hatred and jealousy reeks with every post. The funny thing is; when I perform for people and they talk about Criss Angel, I'm the first to tell them that he isn't on the same level as David Copperfield and the like. However, if you and Brad believe Criss is...

You see Brad...this whole "we hate Criss Angel he is a scumbag" thing is why I feel bad for our community as a whole sometimes. It doesn't matter what you or the "community" thinks about him; the rest of the world says otherwise. His show has gone on for 6 Seasons, when he shows up for an...

This is more of a site review and less a product review. I had placed an order with ExoMagic (http://www.exomagic.net) recently and made an error. When I emailed, Alex (CEO of the company) emailed me within the hour and said he would correct my order. This was on a Saturday before the...

I have these and they're all really great decks and depending on the situation it will add something cool to your performance: 1) Guardians here at T11 2) Ghost deck at E 3) Shadow Masters at E 4) Raiders Black deck at ExoMagic (http://www.exomagic.net) 5) Red Dragon deck at ExoMagic...

How does it stink for you? You didn't lose out on anything. You're new and haven't purchased anything yet. This generous gift was for those who have supported the site and the artists here. Instead of thinking about how you didn't get something small for free, appreciate that you're now...

I couldn't agree with Matt's sentiments any more.

It is truly awesome and a show of appreciation for T11 to make this offer. But I'm afraid there is no sure fire way around this because this isn't a technical issue, it's a human nature issue. There will always be greedy people, unethical people, and dumbazz teenagers thinking they can "get...
