    Skilled Hobbyist vs. Magician

    Being highly exposed to yo-yo's, juggling, and diablo performers probably gives me a different perspective. I find the reactions to be way different, and based on different things. These types of entertainment are still really rewarding even without an audience though or in around other...

    Paper Engine Trailer

    I don't think going by years is proper. I have been doing this since 98, but I haven't always been focused. There is a famous turntabalist that is known for becoming one of the best in a year. He spent every free moment on his tables. Effort can't be judged on time passed, it also matters the...

    Bicycle New Cards?

    I don't like the scorpions. Just odd colored bikes. Zero artistic effort. Kind of a quick lame money grab.

    Tally Hos, Arrco or Aladdins?

    The finish names don't mean anything anymore. USPCC says they are made the same. The finsh names are from the previous owners. The difference is either caused by the ink, the limited runs, or a placebo effect. Enjoy the bottled water.

    Controversies in Magic

    I don't believe your first point is valid. Only new magicians fight over this like there is only a single way to present our art. I think most vets understand that both paths are acceptable for different types.

    Generally attempts at creating a placebo effect by a scientist is done with harmless substances in controlled situations. This is after you have gone to a proper place of health care. You probably won't die from a common treatable disease or the pill. The frauds can hurt you directly with the...

    There is harm. Placebos can be used to attempt to treat people that "think" that have a problem. However faith healing has caused people to avoid getting proper treatment fast enough. There is a fatal difference. www.Whatstheharm.net

    Peter Popoff?

    The only really interesting thing about Popoff is how he has manage to resurface. Flim Flam is invading our culture, attacking our schools, corrupting our government. We have powerful people trying to change our laws that believe in faith healing and talking in tongues(sp). People that believe...

    Which magician do you love to hate?

    There is a big difference in Blaine and Angel in how they present these tricks to the audience. Blaine unlike most TV magicians made his spectators really part of show. You aren't just entertained by his tricks, but how it affects the spectators. When I think about the show I often remember the...

    Poe's Law (I think these word count things are funny)

    Tally Hos, Arrco or Aladdins?

    Tally's are made with exactly the same stock and finish. The only difference is they make less, and they look different.

    What's With the "Kewl" Titles?

    Differences in taste I guess. I am also a minimalist. I like that effect, but it seems long winded.

    Real magic or fake magic?

    I personally found this goes away as you get older. Adults just assume that a big Tv star like Blaine must be doing something different than the local kids to get his own show. They don't know that his methods are basically in the same area. Meanwhile the bigger/more expensive stuff isn't any...

    Real magic or fake magic?

    They say everything is fake on youtube. It's like a gamer yelling "cheater".

    Peter Popoff?

    Actually thats not the key word. Being Catholic did not help him. It was something he had to overcome. His debate with Nixon is one of the most important debates in history and had a large effect on him winning. Saying being Catholic was why he won is just wrong.

    JFK 9-11-1960 Fact is JFK almost lost because he was Catholic. People feared that it would end up giving the Pope/Catholic Church too much control over the country.

    Peter Popoff?

    Well then elaborate... I doubt I will hear you through my blown mind. I didn't think a fundi card magician was possible. Isn't that dabbling with the occult and gambling?
