I beg to differ.

Admitedly these days the touring shows preffer to stay in vegas, you have had copperfield over.

And, your home grown shows staring people like P.C Sorcar Jnr , and Jewel Aich, dont come here any more.

You won't feel that way when you're famous Hardik

Oh, and P.C Sorcar Jnr's website crashed Firefox in a big way! I've tried it a couple of times and as soon as I enabled scripts on the page, Firefox dies.

Possibly not in your life, but they have.

Also, you have a country rich in "magic men". I remember when I was in South India, in the coutryside, a few years ago, many people that saw my magic ust assumed I was using "real" magic. They thought I was a magic man.

One guy I got on really well with who ran a bar. I ended up teaching him a french drop vanish to explain that it was sleight of hand and not "real" magic.

He was so shocked, and so greatful. He explained he had nothing to give me back in return for what I had shown him so asked if it was OK if he sang me a traditiional Indian song as 'payment' for the lesson.

It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

To answer the question, probably Teller is the most generous, kind, intelligent, polite and thoughtful humans I have met.

Penn is an *rse though.

gali gali men! i have some 8mm footage of some, my dad filmed in the 50s when he was in the navy...they were doing the old chop cup routines...

and who is the x-ray eye guy? oooh i hate it when i can't remember names...he was superb too..

come on dale, you'll know it...

yes i do.

KUDA BUX.





here is a facinating blog on him....

Is Kuda the chap that broke the legs of his chicks (cups and balls load) so they wouldn't move about on the table after they had appeared?

no. If that was anybody, it would of been Gali Galli.

but to be honest, thats probably one of those myths.
although quite often chicks would be flushed down the loo after an act, because they got to big.

thank heavens we are talking about things that stopped happening here in the west several generations ago.

People are people I get along with most, I really like a few and the rest it simply doesn't matter. In the grand scheme of things magicians are bascially a good group of people. As for the magically famous I've met a lot and really there are only 4 or 5 I really don't like.

Michael Vincent is possibly the nicest guy, i totally agree, he took the time to meet me over lunch and have a general chat about magic and the fancy french menu...
Also Paul Gordon has replied to many emails, giving advice where needed.
And also, suprisingly, Jay Sankey is good with contacting people via email.
It seems that the magic community as a whole is just a much friendlier place to be... cant image a footballer being bothered to reply to any sort of gratitude or comments...
