Either that or, "Because I hate you." It's a comedy channel that has tags like "funny" in it. What does he need to do to convince you it's a joke? Slip on a banana peel on to a pile of monkeys while getting slapped in the face with a fish by Robin Williams?

Then you're not paying very good attention. Jesus fat-free Christ, people! I'm suppose to be the jaded, bitter cynic around here!

See, this is probably why the guy isn't posting videos anymore. Not enough people got the joke to make it worth it. It's a parody.

Maybe so, but I'm a glutton for punishment. I refuse to go quietly into the night of mediocrity.

Okay, my theory is that you smoked an entire brick of weed and then smacked yourself in the head with a stick before coming up with that theory. Am I far off?

When am I ever talking about anyone except myself?

If I had a prize to give, you would have won it. Actually, that about sums it up. Except if I were allowed to participate in these debates it would be like competing street preachers and one of them is equipped with a megaphone and a baseball bat with nails in it.

I interpret it as "keep it safe". Safe bores me to tears. Too many people here play it safe. A debate should rock the boat, rattle some cages, kick some faces. I measure how awesome a person is by how many people they're pissing off at any given time.

In other words, I'm not allowed.

I didn't say it had started yet. But when people start trying to figure out who's an artist and who's a hobbyist it doesn't take long for everyone to start showing their inner douchebag. I can't be held reponsible for the fact that everyone takes things way too personally. I have to wonder...

The textbook definition of an amateur is one who does not practice a skill professionally. This has been brought up several times, but apparently nobody is bloody listening because they thing that amateur is a derogatory word. Given some of the reactions I've seen to the word, one would think...

Zero Punctuation words of wisdom. Good to see I'm not the only fan around here. Rating art numerically is like trying to rate it chromatically. And I'm sure we'd all agree that my review of Maynia for example would be a lot less informative if I said, "I give this DVD a rating of green."

How many times does it need to be explained that video was created as a joke? What did he need to do to make it obvious to any of you? Call Jeff McBride a hack?

That's because it isn't. It's obviously someone's idea of a joke. Magicians are stereotyped as dorks. After reading the responses to this thread, that doesn't surprise me.

Off the top of my head, the 21 card trick can be made into a bizarre routine with a prediction, the major arcana cards of a Tarot deck, some candlelight, perhaps a little cold reading... Lots of ways you could do it.

Fuddy duddy old squares... Anyway, there's a lot of good material in Mark Wilson's that younger kids can pick up without much trouble. Coin magic is good because they can practice anywhere and anytime they have a coin.

I was less concerned that Pittsburgh would see any damage. We haven't been economically relevant since the steel mills closed down about 2 decades ago. Still, I drove by the crash site in Shanksville a couple times a year going to and from college. Very sobering experience.

I think of the first verse mainly because of the scare I got. My father was in DC that day and my imagination went out of control. My rational mind knew he was far enough away from any significant landmarks to not be in any danger, but that didn't stop the rest of me from panicking.

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment...

I recently recieved an ebook of this effect and have been practicing with an old deck. Before I get to the meat and potatoes of the review, let me first get a couple quick thoughts out of the way. First of all, fire is inherently dramatic. While I certainly don't recommend it for everyone...
