There's a discussion going on about this, on another forum and most of them are very keen on it LOL.
I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other forums but here's the thread in question (mods feel free to delete this link if it's not allowed!!).

Apparently: "the 'magic' happens from the knees down, your hands are not needed." (quote taken from the thread on the other forum).

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

David, you're right. BUT, I wasn't changing my opinion, I just stated it incorrectly previously. I didn';t want to look like I was actually supporting this levitation.


But magicianmike1234 on youtube said...

"He is not... Why would he try to sell that? This is a revolutionary self levi concept, I can assure you of that."

That's you, right? magicianmike1234? I just don't know anymore...

Dont... he edited his post twice.... he changed it after wards.


I thought I was going mad for a while! And I remember reading the youtube comment too. Not lost it just yet then. Just some crafty editing to make me think I'm losing my mind! Ooh it could be a soap opera here.

Thats fair enough, but just be honest about it. You went from loving this radical new concept, to hating and thinking it laughable in 26 minutes flat. And then try to make out that you hated it all along. That just makes you lose credibility and me thinking I'm an idiot (well, maybe I am, but that isn't the point). And I have noticed this change of opinion and denial on a number of threads.
Its fine to have an opinion on here, even if everyone else disagrees. In fact its a good thing. Though changing your mind so quickly to agree with the majority means that I will take all further reviews by you with a pinch of salt. And I don't think it right to edit your earlier post to make newer posts seem completely wrong. You are trying to save face at someone elses expense, and ending up with egg on your face.
I have stuck up for you on countless occaisions, and still stand by what I said, but this will be the last Michael Kras post I take part in.

Thats what I said to him in an email.. everyone differs in opinion, and if I disagree with something, Ill stand by what I say until I change MY mind, not change my mind to match anyone else.

We are who we are, and who we are defines our personality. If we are chameleons who change to adapt to the people we meet, then who are we really for we surely wont know?

Its hard enough to change opinions overnight, so changin them in 20 minutes is... well..

can we have that 'oh dear' emoticon sometime soon please?

The opinion was a positive one BEFORE I actually saw the demo video. That quickly changed after seeing it. What is wrong with that? Please explain your thinking there.

I want to get along with everyone here, and I DO NOT KNOW WHY this keeps happening to me! WHY? :cry:

Michael - take a step back and think things through.

The world may appear to be against you but that isn't necessarily the case. What people are - is frustrated with you but that doesn't mean that they dislike you.

Why does it keep happening to you? Because you do not appear to listen to the advice that is given to you by your peers. People are generally tollerant when someone makes a mistake, particularly when they are as young as you are. However, when they try to point you in the right direction and you then turn around and head straight back then people will only put up with som much before they vent their frustration and anger.

Sometimes you are just too eager for your own good. You ask for comment and then get defensive when it is given and it's not what you expected. You wrote a review about something that you now admit to having not researched, and then back peddle to 'fit in'.

Start doing things properly. Apply some thought to your actions. Consider how those actions will be taken by others. Be more humble. If you want people to change, you have to change yourself!

Don't go, AndyRegs!!!!! NO!!! You give great advice, and I listen to it. People can't seem to see that I HAVE changed, and when people say I am still the same as before I get riled up, because I DO listen. I have tons of proof too, just look at anything I have shown of my own here a while ago. ALL OF IT hase been changed just so we can all get along and you can see that I do listen and heed advice all the time. But still, people treat myself and my posts like garbage. Why? I just want to get along!!!!!

Thank you, Dat. I try... quite hard actually, and I try hard to take all ofr the advice I get. There's just so much of it! I get to much of it, but it takes time to do everything. Just wanted to say that.

O.k. I said I wouldn't, but I feel that my intelligence is being somewhat insulted now. I have answered your PM Michael, but it’s the same as what I'm going to say here.
You claim that you said the effect was unbelievable and radical (or whatever) BEFORE you saw it??? First of all that doesn't make sense. You are an intelligent lad, and you wouldn’t post a thread about a fantastic new effect before seeing it. AND you commented on it on the youtube website. So please don’t insult peoples intelligence by saying you didn’t see it.
On top of that, you edited your post to make my comment look like I didn’t read yours properly. In it you claim that it is unbelievable (in a bad way). So are you claiming you had seen it orignally and thought it was bad (which you have made your post seem to suggest), which goes against what you now claim. And to me it seems dishonest to post a message, have someone reply, edit your original post, and then try to make out that your original post had always said unbelievable (not in a good way). And don’t forget, it was another member who noticed it. You kept conveniently quiet when I actually apologised.
I have stuck up for you on numerous occasions, and stand by what I said, but I don’t like my intelligence insulted like this. I said I would no longer comment on your threads because I don’t want my comments made to like stupid by your editing, and your comments here and on the thread (and the accompanying logic) show that it is pointless anyway.
I hope I don’t come over too harsh, but I appreciate honesty in people.

Thats me out.
