So, I was watching A&E today, and watched a show called 'Mindfreak'. Beasically, this magician (Criss Angel) goes around doing stunts/tricks.

Anyway, do you guys think he's a fraud, and the tricks are just done for TV? Because he does some ridiculous stuff that I have no solution for. (And I pride myself in figuring out how magic tricks work)

I mean, he made this woman's ring 'disappear', and it appeared inside an ice cube in her drink.

Check out some videos here

Nah there's always a few tricks, the thing is you have to think outside the box, magicians don't play by the rules for magic tricks. I've seen him do amazing things, too, but if you research him he's been an acting magician nearly his entire life and was performing street magic long before he got a show, so the tricks most likely do not involve him editting or paying people to act surprised. The only editting he does is edit out all the failures he has at making magic tricks work.

Personally, I'm interested in how he can make the illusion that he's levitating, because he goes about 4 feet in the air when he's on the ground. Freaky stuff...

He also walks on water.

I love it when I can figure out the trick, like he did one where he had his friend select a card, put it back in the deck, and then he drove by in a motorcycle and his friend through the pile into the air, he grabbed a card from the rain of cards and it turned out to be the card his friend selected, but you can actually see he doesn't really grabbed a card, he flips out a card from his hand or something.

Yeah, he's pretty good, but he's no The Magnifigant Bender .

Well, I'll be gone for ten days visiting South Carolina and Washington D.C. so don't expect any posting from me. I will have my good computer fixed by then, so I can update my FF (bet you didn't see that coming *points at Tellie*). Gonna visit the spy museum, sleep in a bugged hotel, shop at a Piggaly Wiggaly, go to the Smithsonian, watch Comedy Central and eat some fine southern sea food (and Bayou food as my friend calls it. Mmm, Alligator).

The only thing worth seeing in south carolina is the butt peach.

I think I'm slowly getting insomnia. Yesterday I went to bed at 2 and didn't fall asleep till 7:30, then had to wake up and do crap at 9:30 so i took a 2 hour nap from 3-5, but that was it, 4 hours of sleep. i was expecting to be so bushed I'd sleep till 11, and I went to be at 11, but no, I woke up at 2:30 and it is now 5:10, and I still can't fall back asleep. It's like... I'm always tired when there's compassion to be done, and never tired when there's nothing to do at all, this sucks. I have to leave at 11 and have a full day ahead of me. if I don't pass out then hopefully my clock will be back in order.

And as long as we're on the subject, any of you have any experience with lucid dreaming? I've been working at it for like 2 weeks now, I've gotten close like 10 times in my life but I don't think I've ever had a lucid dream.

Finally, I have that damn 36mm film, from our village house works, developed now, I'll give you the links in that Picture thread - that is, if it's still alive.

Happy Canada Day everyone!!! Fireworks, bonfires, and booze for everyone!!

yeah! great ..can I have some?

I don't see why you can't. Though the cost to mail some of those things, particularly the fireworks, would be illegal or at least expensive. Not really sure if I can mail fire, seeing as how it burns... I'll back to ya with that one

Just mail her the booze

Yeah right you are there Danny......just mail me the booze! cheers!!!!

I'll do the next best thing....



Cheers! Happy Canada Day!

NIICE! Cheers to you all!

*puts out freshly made vanilla muffins*

My son just baked some!

Speaking of which, when are you going to let your poor children join the forums?

Ehh..I won´t! This is my place! Well maybe my son will join when he´s old enough(he´s 11)! The girls don´t play games.....well at least the youngest one doesn´t anymore and the older one is in your country so ....I don´t know what she´s up to!
