Of course he has an ego. He is a 14 year old boy that does magic, how many magicians have you met who are 30 and has an ego? There is a raft of them. And he is probably the only kid in inbreedsvile or where ever he lives who can badly palm a card. So of course he is going to have an ego who didnt at 14.

Ok so he is a bit c*** (not the best) and hard headed and he likes to gloat a lot. There are a few other people who do that here to. At the risk of being acussed of starting the 4th reich again didnt I.d pamper his ego with his "I met a bloke done the pub and i was so much better" thread? Any way of course Kras comes across crass (se what I done there good wasnt it?) If you dont like the boy dont reply to him.

Ok he probably suffers from wanting to run before he can walk but with in magic or outside it can anyone say that they didnt? Of course he is going be all "Look what I can do" Bit like an XCMer really.

But then again young Mr Kras stop talking up your lectures like they was a lecture by Paul Daniels. Perform for real people like the beard said not just ma and pa. Becuase when you get caught by real lay people you will learn how to adjust and adapted your performance. And Work hard you want to be a big stage type and your parents are what are usually termed over here " pushy". Maybe you should have your dad/mum or brother learn some basic moves in magic so he or she can tell you where you are going wrong. Work on the patter like others said, If you arent as good at selight as hand as others really strong patter can make the effect. VERBAL misdirection.

The beard said go out to bbq's etc thats sound advice if you was old enough you should go to pubs/clubs too. You dont become the next big thing over night not in any walk of life, well maybe a few but flicking the cards around isnt one of them. And that promotional video you made I would re-do it or delete it.

Well there you go Jimmy What I have given with one hand I have taken with the other. I am like that. Another thing you got to learn not to be so sensitive if you are going in to show biz its a nasty world full of people who will take you for a ride and there dressing rooms

Lots of love and kissies the GREAT Markdini

I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to write such insightful comments to Mr. Kras. Just to let you guys know, I have learned from your posts. So, take heart, it wasn't all a waste of time.

In the world of Kras, though, you have wasted a huge amount of your time. He doesn't listen, he doesn't care. He's going to continue to destroy his name and he's going to continue giving lectures.

I'll tell you how I know this in two points:

1) I've given priceless advice to him and he hasn't changed one iota.

2) Even moreover, he doesn't listen to Jay Sankey, either. Mr. Sankey covers the need for arm swing when secreting a coin, but if you watch the video, you'll note that when his dirty hand drops to his side, it comes to a dead stop.

He doesn't listen to me, he doesn't listen to you and he doesn't even listen to Jay Sankey.

Give up, guys, you've already lost the war.

Mike.

...At least he says thank you...

I learned a lot from you guys, too. I never wanted to lecture, but I know that that's a good thing. It's still fun to try to create new effects though...

Oh that was you. Thanks for owning up

I think you missed the whole point of that thread.. Ive been doin magic for just over a year. I am a complete amateur who has just put a hell of a lot of time in. I have no basis for an ego.. even if I am the greatest

And people think Mikey doesny listen I think you should read that 'showdown' thread again Markey boy, as since then you have changed somewhat. And I used to like you. in the straightest possible way.

I was also jack the ripper. Anyway one isnt in to under handed means and back stabbing honest.

Arron my dear lad we seem to have drifted apart like two lovers Nevermind. Lets not make this about us But the poor boy Kras who is a misguided fellow of the highest levels. And I hope Mr I.D that you read all of my post concerning mr kras. What I give with one had I takes with the other.

Of course I.d (sometimes) speaks sense I grant you and Mr Kras has been given a lot of hints and tips along the way. And to quote I.d again (thought you gave magic up) "A lot of advice I have been given I would pay for"

The you go I have taken and given Mr I.d.

Actually "great" markdini, I.D. has given it up temporarily. that doesnt mean his interest has gone as well.

i mean, iv given up women temporarily (not neccesarily by choice - joke btw ) but that doesnt mean I have no interest in them!

ok...bad example...but you get my point!

My mistake. I know you have some profound love for Mr I.D and I dont. But I am glad you cleared that up for me. Now my dear chap if we could bring this back to Mr Kras please as I have said my peace and I.D has said his.

I don't have a "love" for I.D., I just feel that he is a guy with a great sense of humour, a competant magician with unique thoughts, and a genuinely nice guy.

you, however, sir, seem to be having a personality similar to that of Mark Lewis. Him, I like. You, however, seem to be copying his way of talking.

you werent like this originally...you've changed man.

That was a thought plucked right out of my head...

Wow has this thread sunk to the depths (and, yes, I'm not one to talk, I know...).

Mike.

yes, but the difference is, I like and respect Mr Lewis. He has his character, and he knows what he is on about. The (not so) great markdini, however, has decided to copy a persona, and has changed compared to how he used to be.

Hmm yes I should be the Amazing Markdini you are right chris. As for copying the very wise Mr Lewis whom I have the upmost respect for. I dont think its true. Now wheres my svengali deck.

You have the right to think what you like of I.D as you do of me and me of you and him. I am sure I.D will not lose sleep over what I think of him. Anyway like I have said before this is about Mr Kras and his c*** (not the best) video not about who likes who etc.

mr markdnini - i don't not like you. in fact, i have the upmost respect for you. im just poiting out that you have started to have traits that are similar to Mr Lewis, that you previously did not have.

It seems 'crystal clear' to me that this thread has gone on far too long and way off course so is now at rest.
