Craig's post seems to be another fine example of Mentalists thinking their superior to magicians.

We all put a lot of time in practicing & perfecting our art so where they get the idea that they are any better is beyond me. None the less, you will find this 'elitist' attitude on any magic forum.

It does make me laugh when they lose their rag about magicians performing what they class as mentalism in their act. It's like we've committed a terrible sin & devalued mentalism. Well here's a newsflash for you - the audience don't care! They're just happy to be entertained. And entertainment is what magic or mentalism is all about.

Amen to that.
