I think you'd be surprised, magiccb, to find out how many of Derren's effects are accomplished through very physical methods, including "expensive gimmicks", rather than just psychology alone.

Ever seen his old cabaret effect, "Reminiscence"...?

I know who it is! It's the spirit of Houdini come back from beyond the grave! Using the Internet as his medium, he is attempting to work out a decent routine for his comeback tour. After all, residing now "in spirit", escaping from handcuffs ain't gonna cut it with the ticket buying public. He needs a routine that's slightly more...metaphysical.

I'm right aren't I?

Ok, think of a number. Got one?

Now add one to that number.

Now, take away the number you first thought of.

The number you are thinking of...is the number 1!

magiccb- I think you are probably the most amusing person on the forum right now because of the blunders you've made.

In case anyone wants the official list, I've made up the gold, silver, and bronze places for members who are nuts.

So far:

GOLD: magiccb
SILVER: Michael Kras
BRONZE: monker59

Everyone please come to the awards ceremony, we're going to have the torch-bearer trip on the way up the stairs.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Well, we're ending the stairs right before a giant tub of ethanol. With any luck, the torch-bearer will trip right into the tub with the torch and light it. We may incinerate the torch-bearer, but he had a one-time job anyway. :D
