OK... Still sick but will send them now before I go back to bed. And yes, I understand I am quite egotistical. Just the way I am. I am sorry you all dislike me, but I brought that upon myself.

I wish you all the best. I am going to rest.

Michael Kras

still waiting

I for one do not dislike you, although some of your posts I do find a little baffling.

Anyway, I pmed you about giving you some feedback on your effects and have yet to hear anything.

Oops sorry forgot some poeple.. STILL SICK but up temporarily and will send the others.

Nice to see someone here likes me.

I don't dislike you, Mr. Kras. I just find you to be terribly misguided and, more and more, a waste of time.

It's like watching someone stick his leg in a bear trap and when you help them to remove it and explain that they shouldn't do that again, they do. So you get them out once more, explain once more not to put their leg in it again, but they do.

And they continue to do so whilst thanking you for the help. Ultimately, you just have to leave them there.

Mike.

Nice to see, but it immediately reminded me of this nice little comment:


"You, sir, are so full of sh*t that you stink. I can see it in your eyes and it's coming out of your ears.

You are a waste of the good folks of this site's time. You are a waste of everyone's time. You are simply a waste.

I have given you good advice and insight, you point out where you disagree with historical fact.

Dude - shut up. You don't make that kind of money and I don't believe for one second that you ever did.

I've watched your vids. You don't know the first thing about magic. You are knowledgeable on methods, but you have no idea of how to use those methods in conjunction with proper theory to make them magic - you give us puzzles.

I've grown tired of the time that you waste and the time that you get people to waste. Find another play ground, child. "

Nice to see you like me now, though. By the way, from now on, I am trying very hard to be as humble as a magician can be and actually listen to people's comments. I feel like such a jerk.

Michael Kras

I'd love to believe you when you say you will start to listen but this aint the first time you've said it and I'm certain it won't be the last

Please note, I didn't say that I like you, I said that I don't dislike you.

And, the quote above by me is 100% spot on. You claimed to be making 100 to 200 dollars in tips in an hour. I don't believe that for one second. Even if you were a close friend of mine, I'd have no compunction against telling you exactly that. Full of it is full of it, whether it's you, me or anyone else. My friends know full well that I speak my mind, so I don't have any thin skinned friends, but the friends that I have aren't fair weather friends - they know that I'll get their back and I know that they'll get mine.

And, sir, you are a waste of time. Are you still producing a 3 inch high bottle of glue from a 3 foot by 3 foot towel? No doubt, you are.

Further, Mr. Kras, you don't know a thing about magic. You haven't a clue. Again, you are very knowledgeable on methods - you know what you're talking about and I don't discount that fact. But, knowing how to build a house and actually doing it are two very different things.

I don't have to hate you, or even dislike you, to tell you the truth. And, I'm telling you the truth. Unfortunately, you refuse to see it. You'd rather continue thrusting your mediocre performances on your victims. The fact that you don't take the priceless advice that has been offered to you by the people of this forum proves my point that you are a waste of time. Truth and dislike are very seperate issues.

Mike.

I am sorry about the mediocre YouTube videos and will get rid of them. I am sorry you dislike me, and I am sorry that I am a waste. As hurtful as it is, I listen to it and am going to try to clean things up around here. And I DO take the advice people give me. I listen to it, re-read it, but do not necessarily act upon it if I find myself to disagree.

UPDATE: YouTube has been updated

This, precisely, is why you are a waste. It's all or nothing with you. You are a fatalist - a defeatist.

You don't like being told the truth so it's all doom and gloom.

Jesus Christ. Grow up. Or, just grow FFS. But get over your whole, "Oh, you don't like me, I'll just go crawl under a rock" attitude. Especially when we've seen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over where you make these statements and then just continue on like a happy idiot.

And, you say that some stuff you disregard because you disagree? Young man, you have no cause to disagree with anything. You don't know what the hell you're talking about half the time, you have no platform on which to disagree with anyone.

Quit studying technique and start studying theory. You are fine in the technique department, but it is the theory that will teach you how to take those techniques and turn them into magic. As it stands, you are a puzzlemaster. If that's what you want, then fine. If you want to be a magician, though, then shut up and listen and apply the knowledge that you are being given.

Quit thinking that you have any right to publish material and lecture. You don't.

Mike.

Ok. Thank you! Just trying to be optimistic, and since nobody liked certain YouTube videos, I took time to get rid of them.

Rather than be defensive and cause trouble around here, I have tried to be kind to everyone, even those who have posted the meanest comments I have ever seen. I told you I am going to clean up, and that is precisely what I will do.

Michael Jay you give him advice and when he follows and tries to please, you lash out at him again for doing what you've just told him to do. I don't think it is the right attitude to show a 14 year old.

I lashed out at him for his doom and gloom stance. Immediately following my explaining to him that I don't dislike him he states, "I am sorry you dislike me..."

This is just terribly frustrating. I'm going back to my original stance in all of this and simply will ignore posts that have his name on them.

My apologies if I seem on the harsh side, LeftEye.

Mike.

You're right, Mr. Jay. BUT, you did say you neither like me nor dislike me.. How can that possibly be?
