I think I'm going to buy it. I mean, instead of putting the queen to sleep I can say I'm hypnotizing her! It would go perfectly with my hypnosis shows. :)

You make a good politician. In one hand you tell me that I don't speak for everyone, (even after I admitted I didn't but you ignored that) and then in the other hand you speak for all laymen. Nice try. Well, I didn't say you had good taste. Personally I though that performance was way...

Let's see what Jim actually said, shall we? "Raymond Hill is a gentleman who passed over to the other side in 1980. I contacted him about a year and a half ago, and he's been working with me in various experiements. He intially used pedulums to communicate with me. Raymond will come back...

There's a difference between being "owned" and stopping simply because it's just not worth banging your head against a wall talking to a who is someone who doesn't or won't or can't understand....

I see it like this: Red or Blue bikes are like jeans. You practice with them, if they get destroyed it's no biggie, you do trick with your friends with them, etc. etc. You know, causal. But custom decks are when you are trying to impress: Like dressing up in a suit. You use them to...

In the context of a performance to fool an audience. Yes. There is no such thing as "real magic". Now here is where you twist the words and meanings to fit your stance. There is a major difference between saying "I'm going to do some magic" and saying "I really can speak to the dead."...

Exactly. Whether he lies and says "I put two cards in the deck" or says "We've never met before", it's still an illusion to fool an audience because that's his job and the audience all knows, deep inside, that he is just doing a trick. It's funny to me that it's okay to lie about "The...

Nope. You proved MY point. He IS a magician! Because, taking your example, his method on how he produced the effect is irrevalent because he still DID produce an effect that fooled and amazed people. AND he's still thin!!! :) Now, if he starts saying that it was a "ancient secret...

I haven't seen it. (I don't watch the show at all). Is there a clip somewhere?

This is a good debate: the difference between an entertainer and a magician. But maybe that should be a different topic. :) To me, he IS a magician. Look at what we do. We all do it. We misdirect, lie, use gimmicks, use sleight of had, it's not that much different than using a...

Like him or not, we've got 11 pages and counting of him. The people who dislike him so much has seen more episodes and effects than I have ever seen of his stuff, and I am indifferent to him. And no matter HOW he produces an effect, he's never crossed the line and said it was "real powers"...

This is a great thread. Plenty of real discussion, except for what BrianGener....ah sorry, Namie Ihara said.... :D I have to agree that magic has to involve the audience. I don't think I'm going to say more than what's been already said, but part of the misdirection is to get the audience to...

Ah, thank you, Praetoritevong. Sorry, I didn't participate much in that thread. Seems to me that BrianationX/Namie Ihara has got to stop his own "Mouth Garbage" and start being more honest..... :)

.......uhm, sorry to get off topic but are you and BrianationX the same person????? At any rate, with the movie reference you've taken, sometimes, no patter is even older: it would be like going to see a love story and there is no dialog. The people do what they did in the 20's and overact...
