I am Blaine industries inc. the all knower of magic even learned from: Copperfield,Blaine Penn and Teller

we'll believe this when we get some video of you making the stature of liberty disappear, have your silent friend catch a bullet in his mouth, and my personal favourite, when you spend 40 days suspended above london in a plastic box.

how about an actual name to call you? your age perhaps? where you come from? what else you enjoy? a profession?

I met them on a street performance and they told me the top ten best magic websites would you like me to give the to(I am Named the magic man

Anyone at that level that can remember 10 web sites on the street...... I'm surprised that either of them would KNOW 10 web sites and would even bother about web sites, given their status.

I wonder if he's capable of naming the top ten inventors of magic over the past century?

How about the top ten most important books in magic?

The 10 most recognized and awarded performers of magic?

He's still not responded to my other questions. If he can answer those right, without trying to search it all on line (which is not where you'll find most of those answers btw)or taking a few days to ask around... well, then I'll be impressed. Then again, there are few who can answer some of those questions.

very clever fellow
But the real question is do you know or are you trying to find out

If you have to ask that question then you really don't know anything about magic!

But it's just a witty comeback, yes yes. .

i am sure craig knows the answers and a whole lot more than you.

The Top 10 Most important books in magic... well, that's a misnomer in that one or two of those items come in the form of several volumes i.e. The Tarbell Course in Magic but in addition to this I would have to include;
* The Stien & Dey Handbook of Magic
* The Amature Magician's Handbook
* Magic & Showmanship
* 13 Steps to Mentalism
* The Royal Road to Card Magic
* Bobo on Coins
* and the Sharp Encyclopedia Series
... there's at least a dozen Biographical texts everyone should be familiar with too but I'll not push it...

The 10 Most Recognized Performers of Magic History would include Houdin of course along with Mesklynn, Kellar, Thurston, Blackstone (Sr) and of course Houdini... these are persons of historic fame not so much historic import. In the past 30 years alone we've seen some significant personalities come to the fore in the form of Johnny Thompson, Shamada, Ger Copper, Richard Ross, Norm Neilson, Vitto Lupo, and Chistian Flechtner (probably spelled that wrong...) and that's just the list of those that aren't so obscure as some others are.

In another thread I asked you to explain the difference of three different illusions systems... truth is, I doubt there are six people active in this forum or most forums for that matter, that can give you a full accounting on them unless that are at least my age and well read or much, much older... the Gwynn Suspension simply is that well known let alone the Siros.

In short, I know the answers my young friend because I used to co-own the items I was asking you about and I am likewise one of the primary engineers that worked with Ken Whitaker's Creative Illusions during the early days of the company's formation. I bring this out only so you can wake up to the fact that you do not know who you are talking to in these forums and the fact that it is really stupic to show your butt the way you did.
