thats exactly what he did for his stay in a box for 58 days with nothing but water routine...
try and find someone over the internet who was actually there... lol
its impossible because it was all a scam...

how can you say thats magic??


Then you must also believe that David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty disapear was not magic. There as well the Audience was in on it. same goes for the Jet

I bet it must be cool when the two teams play each though. Bet it would be real cool if they played each other in a world series. That happened once, didn't it? I have often wondered how the passionate fans of philly would react to having two teams in the city. My guess is there would be deep separation/hate and when they played each other there would be wars in the stands. Can you imagine what it must have been like in New York had not two, but three teams?


p.s. just out of curiosity who will you cheer for in the games btw the Phils and the White Sox. Or will you be neutral?

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....



But isn't that what magicians are supposed to do? mislead the audience? trick the the audience in to believing he performed real magic?

he is no worst than David Copperfield. I am told that he used very simular gags to make the Statue of Liberty disapear. The skill of magicians is not in the carrying out of the trick itself, it is in the presentation. the block of ice stunt is a good example. You complain that it was fake. But he had everyone believing he had actually done it. that is the goal of a magic trick. He fooled us all. he carryied his presentation out perfectly. That is the true skill of a magician. imho
