I kinda think it would be OK if Lucas released the originals for those who want em but if he doesn't want to I accept.


of course your gonna accept it... what the hell are you going to do?
Lucas doesnt give a shit what your opinion is... just like he doesnt care about ours. so really whatever Lucas gives you your gonna have to accept... so that statement you just made is totally irrelevant...

we'll see what your opinion is when he screws with the SE and u cant do anything about it.... lol
then your gonna have to find SE bootlegs... and guess what... i doubt anyone is gonna waste their time bootlegging that POS...
LMAO!!

but it would have been much cooler if it were slide of hand or something...
i mean the guy pretty much is misleading his audience in his television special by showing his feet come off the ground from a different angle that was done in from of people....

i think thats just stupid... if ur gonna show a magic trick u should not have any editing done to the shot... otherwise i might as well just stop the camera and walk out of view when its stopped.... then start recording again and say i disappeared....
how is that magic???
lol

i dunno i think he's a pretty crappy magician...
hahaa

here's another one of his tricks which i thought was really awesome... but now just think is totally pointless

CARD THROUGH WINDOW

Effect

The performer asks the spectator to pick a card without him seeing the face and replace it in the pack.

The pack is then shuffled and the performer is apparently unsuccesful in locating the card.

After a few attempts ,the cards are thrown against a window in a fit of rage , on looking at the window , the chosen card is seen to be sticking to it , even more surprising is the fact that the card is on the inside of the window.

Preparation

You will need two identical packs of cards and a willing helper.

Method

This trick should be performed in an area with a large window nearby and with the spectator facing away from the window.

The spectator is asked to choose a card from a pack , memorise it and without showing you , replace the card in the pack.

The pack is then shuffled and and a couple of attempts at "is this your card " tried followed by a look of disbelief when the spectator tells you that it is not their card ( this is all part of the act as you dont and dont even need to know the card).

After a few attempts you fake an angry outburst and making sure the cards are squared up , throw the pack broadside at the window , where they will hit the window and fall to the ground except the chosen card which is stcking to the window.

Your helper was already positioned behind the window and spectator and had an identical pack of cards. He was able to see the chosen card and took the duplicate from his pack.

A small piece of looped sticky tape or magicians wax was attached to the duplicate card and it was stuck to the inside of the window.

The helper should then have walked away from the window.

This trick creates a real surprise but it is important to pick up the fallen cards quickly and to pocket the original chosen card.

well your gonna be even more dissappointed...
in all of his huge stunts like that...
they were all fake...

his body was superimposed and he just fell through a hatch somewhere...
the live audience...
not live... all in on the stunt...

they have those big ones all over the net...
same with the staying inside a box for 55 days...
they were all done very similar with computer effects...

now that i know how this guy does his stuff... i find him to be a total disgrace to magicians and illusionists everywhere...

in advance...

**** enter at your own risk****

the following tricks have been performed by illusionist david blaine and the secrets to them will be given out...
so if you dont want to know how they are done... then leave now...





LEVITATION

effect - The magician raises his arms up by his sides and slowly appears to rise a few inches off the ground for a little while before returning to earth quickly.

The Balducci Method

The Balducci method involves positioning your audience about 8 to 10 feet away at a 45 degree angle.You need to keep your audience small so they are within this field of sight.

This is a very restrictive angle trick and it is essential that the angles are practised,preferably with a friend or in front of a mirror.

The Balducci levitation involves pretending to float off the ground by going on to your tip toes on just one foot ( the one furthest from their view ) while the nearest foot is raised a little off tthe ground.

This looks fantastic as the foot on your tip toe is hidden by your trousers, the nearest foot and the angle they are watching at. You only rise a few inches off the ground but the impression is fantastic. This trick is all in the presentation with you appearing to rise slowly, wait for a second or two and then return to the ground quickly so as the audience do not have time to figure the trick out.

The picture here shows the beginning on the left and the climax of the trick on the right .



David Blaine Version

David Blaine used various camera shots in his TV special with the audience reaction being filmed close up and linked to other clips of him in mid air with some of the angles showing the Balducci levitation.

The view that shows him rise a good few inches in the air and does not show the audience and would have been done with a bar attached to a pivot like a seesaw.

The end of the pivot would have had a hook which clipped onto a harness attached to his belt and a member of the crew would have pushed down on the other side of the bar lifting David up in the air. The camera angle would have hidden the props.

This film would have been mixed in with the audience clips in the studios later.

The Balducci levitation is clearly explained in the Learn to levitate video which can be ordered online by clicking the link here and will allow you to learn master and perform self levitation like David Blaine and object levitation very quickly with incredible results. Go ahead and click the link above now. You can find access to lots of free magic secrets on the main page of this site.

Your arguements are pretty pitiful. Tolkin rerote it to blend with his new Trilogy. Just like Lucas is changing the originals to fit with the prequals. If you really think about and are serious with yourself you will relize its the same damn thing.


Tolkin?
rerote??
prequals???
relize????

theres no way you could have read those changes yourself... judging by the following....
stop looking for arguments on the internet and make some up by yourself..

I don't know... I belive it sucked mostly because it was SW. If it wasn't related to SW in any way, I wouldn't expect much of it, and wouldn't mind Jar Jar (altough I dont hate him anymore), midchlorians, Jake Lloyd...


those were my only real complaints...
Jar Jar, midchlorians and Jake Lloyd just had no place within a star wars movie....

other reasons i didnt like it....
announcers for the Pod Race were unbelievably foolish and were obvoiusly directed towards making kids laugh...
Anakin saving the day by accident.... i thought he was a great pilot.?? not just lucky?

because he didnt make a huge dance number in the mines of moria and gandalf didnt scream when he fell did he???

and that list of movies was hardly feasible...
some of the changes were like 1 minute of footage added hear... mic digitally taken out of the picture...

those arent comparable to the changes made in the SE

ricarleite i've seen the SE version of both and hated the new cloud city.... but didnt mind the sarlac all that much....
i mean i would prefer to have both versions the way they were.... because im sure there are things i would like to see on both discs....

but just having the originals the way i saw is what i really want.... i mean i want my kids to see these movies the way i saw them... i want them to know why i have over like 5 grand in star wars toys all unopened in my closet... lol

i just think that its most important to keep the originals available no matter what happens....
i can even go as far as saying that i think the original trilogy release would outsell the SE release anyday...

any takers?

I suggest an even better experiment: listening to Echoes (the wonderful song from the album Meddle, my favorite song btw) synched with 2001's last 24 minutes. You start the music as soon as those words - I belive it's "Jupter and beyond infinite" or something like that - appear onscreen. The music synchs perfectly to the stargate sequence and to the "hotel room" scene, and it ends exactly the same time as the movie. A very psychedelic experience, I did it only once (I own the album, but I don't have a 2001 copy anymore), and it was awesome.


i have also done this... in fact i have the clip on my computer set up with the music perfectly.... start the song when the title "Jupiter - and Beyond the Infinite" appears on your screen like ricarleite said. then just sit back and enjoy.... its creepy how well the two match up...

i particulary enjoy the guitar solo in the song... this is when he's sorda peaking out in the space ship... flying over (sorda looks like mountains) of all different colours... lol its awesome!
