I'm going to suggest something to you now, Rafiki, because I think you might find it interesting: whatever else he may be, David Copperfield is not a Nephilim who summons demons to perform his illusions. This is the way you have developed of explaining what you have seen on stage. This is because David Copperfield is in fact a Las Vegas entertainer engaged in the art of appearing to make the impossible happen. This is what an illusionist is. To do so, he employs a team of very talented consultants who come up with all the illusions you see on stage. So, knowing that, you are not exposing him but are instead exposing the way you have chosen to explain what he does in terms you're familiar with; Nephilim, demons, and so forth. In doing so, you're also exposing yourself to ridicule in front of people who spend their lives producing illusions too. Some of these people can even point you in the direction of some of the individuals and teams that created the illusions you have seen Copperfield perform, and can both name the illusions he performs and can describe their workings not in terms of demons but in terms that most of the variety theatre industry can understand and could thereby replicate at will too.

I am wondering if our new visitor has something in common with myself. We both like doing things to humans that are normally done to clocks and watches.

I am not 100% sure but the thought does occur to me.

I assume that's how you met him?

OK, since no one else is brave enough to say this... meeting Copperfield is great, but did you get to meet Claudia??? now THAT would be something.

erm, she's not a demon is she? or was that why they split?

I have heard eyebrow raising stories about the arrangement between Claudia and David. I will not detail them here and I do not know if they are true. I will merely say the mind boggles.

She looks like a demon to me? If David ever consulted Claudia and rafikiface spotted them, I can see how confusing it must have ben for him>

I understand the slim possibility that rafikirace is winding us up, but there are some truly crazy people out there and he, my friend, is on of them!!

Besides which, isn't a nephalim half-human and half angel?

I learned that watching the Prophecy movies starring Christopher Walken. The second and third installments became increasingly superficial. I'm sure you don't want to believe that, but it's important that I let you know. You'll thank me when the truth finally comes out.

Your fight my friend. A Nephalim isa result of an Angel that came down to Earth ( there were a few of them ) because they lusted after women. When they tried to return to heaven they were refused entry. Anyway.. while on earth they did a few women and spawned children, the Nephalim.. half human half angels... bad half breeds that made life hell for humans as they had superhuman strength!!

Something to that effect..

Rakikiface.. they dont actually exist anymore!!

Cue all the blokes saying yes they do exist because I have superhuman strength.

Or is that just me

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

that is quite unfair! since when did the truth cause a problem? you've got to give us something after a comment like that. otherwise i will just have to ask RafikiRace.

That guy will only go on about the nephilim devils or whatever. I only knew about the pre-matrimony contract they signed, where they pressumably (this is what the papers wrote those days) established how many night they would have sex. Is there more?

There is indeed. Much more. However it is well known that I am not the type to encourage gossip.

Bulldust Mark, you love gossip as much as the next guy.Many of us have heard the "control freak" stories, but I wonder do you have something "new"?

I do indeed. However for once I think silence is the better part of valour.
