As if the center tear wasn't tortured enough when the Masked Magician revealed it, this kid comes along with his little invention, claiming he pull it off without acctually tearing it! These people are ruining a classic :( .

He can pull it off without tearing it, but it is known as a peek.

Well here we are. Its been almost two whole months and the release date for the levitation is just around the corner. Then we will know if what he has been saying is true or not. Novemebr 1st is the date when he'll ship out the DVD's. I still support him, even though I know many of you do not. So I to am very eager to see what will happen. :|

I hope this levitation turns out to be real, I honestly do. But all the good faith in the world can't get my head around the prospect of anything other than either a scam or a big pile of poo.

Barnabas, I presume you'll be purchasing this to prove us all wrong?

Well, this time next week, the world will either be witnessing the genesis of a genius or he'll be in custody charged with fraud.

My money's on column B.

His 'Promotion' video.

:shock: The voice is unnaturally high.

Also, does this item sort of ring a bell?
'You will be supplied with a special manafacture made pen which is 100 percent undetectable and fully examinable. About half of the effects use the pen required, its just an ordinary pen so once you have the pen on you the peaks/techniques are impromptu.

Now I haven't seen the material in question, but I think that saying these peek methods will fool those in the know and all that is a bit of a stretch. Now if he could get them past someone like Craig, then I'd say that this is worth buying.

So, the pen is superfluous. Why does this feel like language designed to wriggle out of fraud charges?

there is a separate topic on his dvd for the center tear. no need to mix it with the levitation, it might confuse people.

Once again proving that you shouldn't advertise or sell mentalism effects before your balls have dropped :lol: Either that or he had a playing card stuck in his throat and was going to cough it up and do some amazing revelation :P

I don't know much about Icarus, but that video just looked like he was doing a very smooth jump! Not impressed.
