I am not arguing the risks I am arguing your comment. This post can be found by ANY ONE this forum is not locked to members only and yes this person may not be a child but how do you know members on this forum are not young and impressionable. I also never said I did not like the trick i just said it was not my cup of tea. Some times through reading a post its hard to decide if the comments like "i cut my tongue" are part of the patter or fact.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

The trick was far to drawn out......as said the cover up of the bottle is understandable in order to smash bottle....
but it took far to long to uncover broken glass and the pieces were not taken from glass in view.....

i never watched entire vid as it got boring....but got the general idea of what you was trying to achieve....

As said previously asking for respect is the last way you will get it.....

Earn it by posting vids - and comments that are constructive.

You seem creative and always looking to come up with new ideas.....
Which is a big plus in MAGIC....

But i feel you show your age in your comments and the fact you post so many vids that are`nt as good as you could make them......

Less is MORE ....put one really great video on here....rather than 10 below average VIDS....

And people will think thats a good trick ...

rather than oh No not another average Minimindfreak Video.....

Restrain yourself and post it once you have nailed it.......and try and make it shorter.

You are enthusiastic everyone can see........

i`ve been told that the best magic is simple .......and you must practice it until you can do it in your sleep......then practice a bit more.

Good luck

Actually, considering that MMI did get his inspiration and magical direction from Criss-"The stunts you are about to see are done by a trained professional who also happened to be a magician and illusionist blah... so don't you dare try this at home!"-Angel, I'm beginning to think that AJ82's comments may hold water.

Ultimately I guess it's still up to MMI whether he wants to take all our comments into consideration and change some of his things or well, simply continue on the dangerous road he's on. :?

Cultures are diffrent
and people from over the world don't think the same!!!
Arabs and Jews (Israelies) like Bizzare
they are afraid from what not recognized for them!!!
I post my videos on this big Hebrew Forum

I post a video that people like in here, on the Hebrew forum they just think its stupid!!
so you see
what I'm trying to say is I'm not trying to be like criss angel (in fact latile I'm starting to dislike him)

Now back on track
after watching the video again I could see alot of problems
one I posted a wrong video
I had fake blood and a peace of meet that looks like a peaace of my gum
and alot
so this is one
2) the picking up of the glass found a way to fix that
3) the chewing

I may slightly disagree with what Mini did but that picture post was not needed. In all honesty I think that is one of mini's best posts for this reason...

Cultures are diffrent and people from over the world don't think the same!!!


and

what I'm trying to say is I'm not trying to be like criss angel (in fact latile I'm starting to dislike him) or david blain! I'm Trying to create a charector that people around me like a charectet that will get me far in this buisnes


These two quotes show Mini wants to be who he wants to be and no someone else. (He use to and this shows he is growing) and as for cultures being different, they are very much so.

As for the following

to tell you the truth I don't even care about school anymore Since I Made my first Video I got more self confedince and alot of friends.


School is important if not for the qualifications you get for the life experiences you gain. Magic should not be a way of making people "like" you. It should be something you do for yourself first, to make yourself happy. It is a respectfull art.

Good luck Mini, be carefull in what you do. I am by no means saying I like this style of magic but many people do. Maybe just tone down the videos a bit. I still have concerns about what you are doing but I think you have written a few comments that show me you are serious in your own way.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

MMI, you should have posted that loooong ago. :lol:

Hey I think it's great you found what you want to do, now you just have to refine and hone it. Good for you.

But stay in school, get a good... no, get a GREAT education. As you would know, in magic there is something called an "out" for when a trick doesn't go the way you want it to and the out saves the day. A good education is an out for you, because frankly, no one knows what the future is, so just be as prepared as you can be for whatever may come your way. All the best!

(And do post up more videos, but remember to make sure what you post up is your best effort... Heh. :wink:)

Fine, do magic, just don't claim that you are actually eating glass. *THAT* is what annoys me about the video.

I mean jesus, you posted this in another topic :

DON'T EAT GLASS!!!
My father is a doctor
and he accepted me doing it if he was next to me
and he was there
its really dangoures
I cut my tounge and a peace was in my cheak
and one in my finger
after I finished filming i went to the meror and found out that a peace of my gum was cut
just
don't
one thing for sure
I'm not doing it again If I don't get good response for it

I mean, that is blatant lying.

I see where you are coming from but on a magic forum you don't have to build it up for us like that. For all we knew you were actually eating glass! If you were actually eating glass then it has no place on a 'magic' forum. If you had said "I've been practicing this glass eating trick, how do you think I could perform it better" then that would have been ok. The file sharing section is not really here so that you can "fool" other magicians on the forum, it's for tips and pointers, or to show a trick you just really like or whatever.

I mean otherwise I could set up a mind reading video with a stooge and say "look I can actually read minds, for real like!". Do you see what I mean?

As for your glass eating, covering up the selection of the bits of glass was suspicious so I always presumed it was a trick. But it did go on for quite a bit, so I didn't get to the end. I think you should maybe change your presentation of this, so that it's just a bit more entertaining and not so samey (and shorter).


But yeah I not generally keen on this kind of thing. Eating glass and the arm twist are completely different. Eating glass isn't showing any "extraordinary abilities", especially since you say you got cut.
