If it's because I said I was blown away by 'Street Magic' let me explain - I was relatively new to magic

I don't think anyone should apologise for being blown away by Blaine's street Magic TV shows. I think they got more people interested in Magic than anything else since Houdini mania. What ever you think of the guy his persona and the clever (sneaky, cheating) way they were edited made him out to almost be the next messiah.

I think it's only when you know what went on with the editing and when you read some of his comments that you start to get a little bit disappoined in him, but regardless of that the street magic tv shows will always "blow [lay] people away"

I hear what you're saying - but I was more stirring than apologizing
I guess it is what got me into magic again. Hmm so he's to blame for all the money I've spent..
I also liked his casual style. Until I saw street magic, a magician was always someone wearing a top hat and bowtie. We don't get too many magic shows on tv over here.
