This is the trick criss angel dose? I ve never been a fan of the gross people out sideshow type of magic. Allthough i do use the razor blades on a string from the mouth. You can see how the "new" magic is trying to push the ante of being sometinhg to dazzle and inspire wonder to totaly freak people out. Although it is another part of our ever growing art its a section i hope and i know a lot of you out there will not want to dabble in. I know i wont i love magic but having my sight is much more important to me.
But one must argue this type of magic is brining the art back in to the spotlight i think Blaine done more for magic with his packet tricks , and umm showmanship then someone pulling a thread through there eye. Not to say Blaine is the the saviour of magic far from it.
So being able to see or a second trick that might blind me? I think we would all chose to be able to see. Now lets go suspend me over the theames with a helicoptor and some meat hooks. There is a place for shocking magic like that and that belongs to angel and the likes.
I am master of misdirection, look over there.
We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.
