He's GREAT !!!! (but scary) He was at the dog track, and he took this guy's loosing ticket over to the booth and gave it to the woman who wouldn't pay out, cause it was a lossing ticket. Derren SLAMMED his hand on the window of the booth and said "this is a winning ticket, give the man his money" or words to that effect. The woman looked a bit confused but payed the guy like £400 !!! After he had the money he pointed out that mistakes cannot be rectified as stated in the Terms and conditions, and toold her to check the ticket. She could not belive that she had just payed out on a loosing ticket !! |

The guys a fool, man. Anyone can do his tricks. Because that's what they are - tricks. It only works on the weak-minded who can't help but follow his subtext. Think of a object. it could be anything. Think of it RUNNING in your mind. Think of it TRICKLING into your thoughts. HOLD that thought. CONTAIN that thought. Let any other thoughts just POUR away. It's a bottle of water. Do you get it? That's what that cunt does with everyone. Except you don't get to see the 80 out of 100 people who are too clever to be influenced. You just get to see the 20 retards who can't think for themselves. |

Well said bill_hicks. I hope you hold similar views on David Blaine. Did you see the paper, scissors, stone episode. I can't believe that people are that susceptible to suggestion that he can force them to play either paper, scissors or stone by just waving his hand in their face in the form of a pair of scissors. I just hope when these saps get home and see themselves on the TV that they see just how they got duped. |

The man does say that everyone can do it. He dosen't claim to be special. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
David Blaine is even worse. He goes around pretending that has has these paranormal powers whereas at least Derren admits that it is a trick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. And while some of them are blatantly obvious, you can't explain all of them. Or maybe you can Bill, considering your astounding intellect *rolls eyes* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What ones do you want to know? There was a program that explained them all a few months ago. Secrets of street magicians or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno. The one you mentioned was easy, just like the 3 of diamonds trick where he made a diamond with his hands and pointed in the air there times, and the one "I want you to think of any letter, mmm?" were easy. But I watch the program and there's usually at least one that's got me completely stumped. Watch it Friday and see if you can explain em all, I'll write a running commentary if you really want. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bill: Those programs suck. They only explain the ones that everyone can guess. Well anyone who's actually got a brain. I'm still waiting for someone to explain the Penn & Teller Bullet trick. Now that's a good trick. I can't fathom how they manage it. Can someone here explain? Maybe you can Bill, you seem to be a leading authority on these things. Jar: Word bitch! |

I tend to think if you watch his show after having a smoke it makes it that much easier to see where the deception is taking place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most of them just involve watching peoples reactions but it's knowing what reaction you need to verify that they've got what you want. I want to see this ticket one. I need to see his actual actions and hear exactly what he said. Is there a transcription anywhere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bill - well I've been waiting on my dealer for three months now, so maybe if I ever get to smoke a joint again I'll be more receptive to the deceptions. Ginge - I doubt if you can get it online, and I think they just repeat the programs once, like the week after it aired or something. Look out for them on kazaa maybe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

the ticket one was quite impressive, but I guess it all hinges on the same principle as the rest of his stuff. Although he does admit that anyone can do the tricks he does, he wouldn't want them to, because that would make him less special. He played at my hall of residence in Bristol some years ago when he was first starting out. You could see that he was full of himself, enjoying the adulation and bewilderment of the people he tricked. In the episode where he goes to Oxford and everyone is wearing tuxedos, he admits that he is nomally used to being the best-dressed person in the room. You could see that he was slightly unnerved, because half of his trick is for him to establish himself as superior to his 'victim'. |

here's one for you, david blaine's levitation trick. i remember seeing a program on magicians secrets or whatever and somebody explained how he did it. well, i've forgotten how they said he did it, but i saw it again recently and i just couldn't figure it out. it looks so real. does anybody know how he does it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
" You could see that he was slightly unnerved, because half of his trick is for him to establish himself as superior to his 'victim'." Yes, I think a lot of his skill is based on self projection, making himself appear more powerful etc. than he is. If people feel intimidated by him they're more likely to be compliant. A cheap equivalent is to stand too close to people and look them in the eye. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well he does actuall admit that nothing he does is particulaly amazing, he even shows you how to do it ! Loads of people do it it just so happens that he does it really well. He also has a photographic memory which is a litlle harder to master ! He;s a great artist too |

You'de have to get on a stool first though, ceri. |

Yes, because being 6'2" I'm ever so short. |

This one is the king of all dupes. I think I'm right in saying that what you see on television is not how Blaine performs the levitation in front of the crowd. Their reactions are real enough though, because it looks impressive when done right. However the Magicians' Circle is getting fed up with amateurs trying it out in front of people and giving the secret away (that's the Web for you). It's all too easy to cock up because it only works for a select audience within a certain radius standing behind the performer (that's why Blaine always tells them to stand closer together). Anyway I'm not a member of the Magicians' Circle and couldn't care less if it ruins Blaine's career (in fact I'd be delighted if it did), so just look up Balducci levitation and you should find everything you need to know. |

Well, I'm off t' pub now, then we're gonna see what this guy is made of. Full report to follow *transmission ends* |

Quite a good show, very funny and entertaining. The first half was better, he just did stuff that he said anyone can do, he was pointing out things that your brain pathologically chooses. The second half was a bit more mystical and more pompous imo. A few things didn't work, and while it was good because it showed he was only human, it wasn't exactly fun to watch. A decent night out though. Shame I was half pissed through most of it. |

Hehe, he does have a smug face but if I could make money in casinos like he can then I suppose I'd be a smarmy looking cunt n all. He didn't fly unfortunately Bill, guess that's the next tour. |
