How terribly amusing. I am too exhausted right now to comment. I have been busy trying to separate two of my best friends on another forum from trying to kill each other and it has quite tired me out. No. Nothing to do with here. Please note I said "another forum"

I will merely comment that I never use those horrible emoticons because they give me the creeps. They look like germs. A bit like Lord Freddie actually.

As for my not giving Darell a straight answer I shall try again by summing it up. Here it is.

Yes. I do believe your son will be able to master a good portion of the material in the book providing he is bright and he gets a bit of help from his dad. I certainly think he should be able to master a good part of Chapter Four even without his dad.

There. That is as straight an answer as I can provide.

Let your son read the book but for gods sake don't let Lewis come round for private tuition!!
I'd rather let Gary Glitter give my kids guitar lessons.

Mark, you are about as witty as a terminal illness. A bitter sad old loser who thinks that age and the fact he's been peddling his poorly thought out wares for centuries with no success demands respect - and some people are foolish enough to think you may be worth listening to.
Hardly Paul Daniels are you? Your criticism is mainly aimed at magicians that are younger and more successful than yourself. The bitterness must eat you up. "Why can't it be me?" I hear you cry. So you go onto forums in the vain hope some mug like Daryl will buy your crappy little book and will send you a PM and tell you how wonderful you are and make you feel that little bit better about yourself.
Look in the mirror, look at your career. A sad old man who has had to move from country to country and met with indifference in every one.
A man eaten up with jealousy when he see's any magician on the television.

If that was me, I know what I would do.....

I really must protest at the assertion by the Lordlyone that nobody has said a good word about my book except myself. Please look at the following review. I can assure you all that I didn't write it.

http://www.online-visions.com/reviews/0 ... short.html

I can only say that I assume Lord Freddie's remarks about the Labour Party are merely because he is upset with them because they are trying to abolish some of the hereditary privileges of the members of the House of Lords of which he has deluded himself that he is a member.

I do believe he frequents the place though. I think I have seen him sleeping in one of the doorways. He had a book with him. I don't think it was the Long and the Short of it though.

You really are the sort of kn*b that does a Google search on themselves all the time, aren't you?
Really, if your little pamphlets, plagarised from others, were any good, we would have all heard about them from other sources. The only reason why we have heard of them is this pathetic little voice desperately trying to sell their crappy little wares and tell us how good they are.

Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and the Mark Lewis pudding is well past it's sell by date and due for the bin.

Of course I do google searches on myself. That is what keeps egomaniacs amused.

However I have also done google searches on you too. And amused I certainly was. Deliriously actually.

However in my googling look what I found:
.........................................................................................................

TV MAGIC MOVES -- Mark Lewis, occasional internet forum provocateur, is the author of The Long and Short of It, subtitled "The Best Svengali Routine in Existence." Is it? I can't say, as I don't know all the others, but I can say that it (Mark's principal routine) is one heck of a routine that will probably thrill a lay audience more than most of the routines you now do. It looks like magic. This 38-page manuscript devotes seven pages to the main routine and the remainder to all the moves you'll need plus many others, along with more than a dozen complete tricks, handlings, and anecdotes. (Surprisingly, there is no pitch included, just great magic.) Dig that deck out of your drawer, run it through this book's paces, and rediscover what magic is supposed to look like. $25 from your favorite dealer

There Frederick old chap. Proof that I am NOT the only one praising my own book. I do thank you however for helping me sell my book by your constant attention. Regrettably I will not be able to offer you any commission. Besides I rather like the idea of you constantly falling into my promotional traps and doing it completely free of charge. I must say that whenever you appear the sales of my book always increase.

No doubt this delights you greatly since you seem to keep coming back for more. Again and again and again.
Oh.
And again.

Thanks so much.

That's fresh. Read Mark's posts (if you still do English at schools these days) and you'll see he is deliberately rude.
Unlike others, I will bite back.
Get your daddy to read the thread to you - Mark Lewis brought me into this debate - at his peril. I am not a Christian - I don't turn the other cheek!

1. You spelt Ceaser wrong
2. Mark isn't deliberately rude at all. Sure he has a specialised sense of humor, which 99% of members on TM appear to understand and relate to. Never fear though Freddie, at least you're a special 1%
3. I agree, Sir Digby Chicken Ceaser as my user name must make me a really stupid and bad person along with my use of the word "dude". Its good to see you have a really deep thought pattern.
4. My daddy would read this to me if i lived with him. I suppose i'll just have to read it myself, i mean, surely i can manage with the A* i am expected at GCSE.....
5. You must feel really big and hard. I mean you argue with 15 year olds over the internet.
6. Perhaps you're just jealous of our resident Mark Lewis, that is sure how it seems. The more we defend him from your needless comments, the more you have a go at him, making yourself look quite immature in the process.

I'll finish by asking you to please keep up the good work. The comments you make always seem to brighten up my day. There really is nothing quite like a good giggle. Looking forward to your next post, maybe if you keep going you'll earn yourself a nice ban! We can all live in hope ay.

Cheers

Sam

Hugs and Kisses

Good heavens! On no account should Freddie be banned! My sales will drop dramatically.

For a child, you an are arrogrant little so-and-so who is cocky behind a pc screen but probably the most bullied child in his school.
The fact that you use "dude" all the time shows that you are one of those awful urchins that wear a baseball back back to front and try and talk in a fake Ali G style accent.
Go out and find out what a girl is.

Lord Freddie,

I must bow to you, as you are perfection itself.
You have obviously never had to ask anybody about anything, because this would be fawning.

I have made it clear WHY I needed the information and that I have read and heard FROM OTHERS ASWELL AND APART FROM MARK, about his book.

Name calling me, because I have decided to take no sides, instead of siding against Mark, is making me feel why anybody should have respect for others.

So here goes.

You can take your pointless posts and name calling and go F*** yourself as I am sure nobody would want to go near you if your body is as deseased as your mind.

Does that solve anything? No. You can either take that as an example of where you are leading people, or you can feel that it is meant. How you view it will tell me alot about you.

Your choices:
Shut up
Don't read the posts that upset you
grow up
p*** off.

Hope you choose the 3rd option. If not, do me a favour and choose the last one.

By the way.

One thing you do need to shut up about.

I WILL NOT BE TOLD I SHOULD PM A QUESTION ON MAGIC, WHILE YOU ARE POSTING VERBAL ABUSE HERE WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MAGIC. Take your own advice and PM Mark if you have a problem.

Can you see how telling me to keep magic off the boards makes you look such an idiot?

Olive branch held out and taken by Mark. Result, I have some good advice for myself and my son.

TELL ME, WHAT THE F*** IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH THAT?

Lord Freddie, I would be careful. From your posts, I am led to believe that you are saying Mark is a child molester. You have hinted at such a few times. I would be VERY careful what you say. If you have proof he is, go to the police. If you do, let me know and there would be no way I would buy anything of Mark.
If you haven't proof, then I would post that these were heat of the moment comments with no substance.

As for Lewis, well, I should imagine you spend a lot of time searching on the internet. My advice is never take your hard drive into PC World if it goes wrong....

Ive never met or spoke to Mark Lewis personally in my life. I believe that nobody should be spoke to the way you talk so i apologise for having morals.....

I must also apologise for being behind a pc screen, i really should come to london and tell you this in person, would be alot easier

Sorry for using the word "dude" and for wearing a baseball back back to front. I shall have to change to a baseball cap....

Yes, i should go out and find out what a girl is, since that has so much to do with this thread. On the other hand i could just ask my girl friend.....

I've been lucky enough never to be bullied at school thanks. Its a good job you understand how many children end up dead as a result of bullying per year. Its good to see you know your stats when using the subject of bullying as an insult.

At least you're popular with everyone else on TM, right?

Dearie me. I must reluctantly make a confession. I shall do so in the next post. I do like to induce a little suspense.

I shall also reply to Lord Freddie's remarks and constant hints about peadophilia. Please get ready for my awful confession.

Calm down dear boy, I was merely stating that he looks like the sort of man I wouldn't leave with kids. Judging by his appearance.

Your abusive language and swearing have shown you really are a jumped-up, confused little man who jumps from one side of the fence to the other.
Creep to Mark as much as you like, he'll still be beastly to you!!!

My cold reading skills were 50% correct here then?
Ding dong!

I am now ready to confess. Please keep this between ourselves. I would not want this to get out and ruin my reputation.

I hate baseball caps worn backwards too! I am relieved hear that my 15 year old defender doesn't wear one and he has gone up in my estimation.

As for the Paedophilia thing I am such an expert on it that I am having trouble spelling the bloody thing.

I shall merely say that although I do have a sense of humour and a pretty thick skin Lord Freddie is pushing the limits. I understand that he is making these remarks out of anger and venom at being ridiculed but I suggest he either holds his tongue or SUBSTANTIATES what he has just said. In other words PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

EVIDENCE please? And it had better be good. I shall tell you why.

Because of my posting style some people get very angry and do stupid things. I had Michael Jay phoning perhaps around 30 times on two occasions regarding two separate arguments. He half scared my family to death with it. I just assume it was either drink or incandescent anger which made him do something so bloody stupid. It was all I could do to stop my family calling the police.

Then another poster came on to another forum and out of similar anger made exactly the same accusations that Lord Freddie just did. I challenged him to SUBSTANTIATE what he said and he never could. Again and again I asked him to and he never did. I had better warn Lord Freddie that I will also REPEATEDLY ask him to SUBSTANTIATE it or drop the matter.

Now on this particular forum where I was attacked I was informed by a police officer who happened to be a magician (Some of you know him as Glenn the police magician) that it was a criminal offence to come onto a forum and accuse anyone of such behaviour if it was done out of malice and there was no substantiation.

I am a very forgiving person as anyone that knows me will tell you. However I do have to say that Lord Freddie is crossing the line. I WILL go to the British police to make a complaint about his posting unless he either withdraws the accusation or apologises. The other alternative is that he SUBSTANTIATES what he has just said.

Well?

I apologise old boy.
I was commenting on your appearance as you were on mine.
You have been trying to suggest I was "diseased" which would not have been funny if I was in fact a cancer sufferer.
Before you barrage people with your "witty" retorts why no think first?

I responded in kind. I was commenting on the way you look to me which is creepy. If you don't like it then don't dish it out.

If you stop trying to provoke people then they won't respond. Stop the insults and I will stop mine.
If you wind people up all the time then people are just going to get fed up with you attacking them all the time and I find your insults neither funny or in good humour.


You do look a bit odd though....
