Ok the list of things that freaked me out

the beer one
When he threw the deck of cards at the bus window and the signed card was stuck on the outside! (I saw blaine do that one too)
the tarantula coming out of the guys hat
and the shadow thing


Ok all of the filler tricks totally freak me out. The big ones have not impressed me but I've only seen two of the episodes

Indeed,

You should drop over to Ellusionist and check out some of the new videos under (e)media. There are some very young, talented magicians over there. Especially, check out the one by MagicWebby and Corrupt.

God Bless

Theo...

Did you see it the other night?

I thought it SUCKED - he was "buried alive", but there was so cutting away from the scene that I couldn't help but think it was simple camera tricks...

The show's going down... :idontknow: :(

Btw, I can't stand how dude keeps saying that Houdini wouldn't attempt one of his tricks...essentially implying that he's a better magician than Houdini...

Jordan didn't come out and say that Wilt Chamberlain couldn't do some of the things he was doin...

RESPECT!!!

LOL

Just because you were able to find the cool headshot of Frank!


Why would you come back and read this thread before watching the show on tivo? Or are you as bright as your avatar suggests *cough* BONEHEAD *cough..

At any rate, what did you think of the filler tricks? Those were the ones that impressed me. The coffin thing didn't do much for me either.

Yeah, I was a little bored with the majority of the show. The buried alive routine does take time and preparation and can be fatal (as the magician from San Francisco attested to), but I really was not all that impressed.

I did like the filler effects and do wonder how some of that stuff is done.

I did hear his DVD's from his website or Ellusionist are supposed to be good, because that is when he does a lot of magic and little filler or self-exaltation.

God Bless

Yeah, I missed a couple of episodes. This is the only time that I am missing my Media Center. At least then, I could record them. I wonder when he is going to release them on DVD. I know he has already released his stage shows on DVD.

Darn, I wish I saw it :(

I had this dream that I met this guy and he was going to show us his levetation stuff and I was gonna try to figure out how he did it.

so first he goes over and hooks himself up to this really thick obvious cable and it lifts him up, and I'm all in shock. and then when he gets back down there's some stage guy laughing in the background and he's like "just kidding."

so then he was gonna show me how he really did it, and it turned out to be this wierd way he jumped that while he was up in the air he moved his legs up so they didn't move as he fell down by the force of gravity. and then I was all psyched cause I started doing it and making people think I could levetate.
