Banned for magic? - Chat Roulette

Postby Danny Joseph » Dec 15th, '10, 03:19



Hey there,

I've seen people bringing their talents onto sites like Chat Roulette - (Which is a website that sets you speaking in a webcam conversation to another completely random user of ChatRoulette ) - The most famous of these people is probabally "Merton" or "Piano Improv Guy" who got his own stage show, performing improv music to random people on CR, based on the person's appearance, personality, and the conversation etc.

Having seen this, I wondered weather it'll be possible to do card magic on CR. As I wondered I came accross videos such as the Celebrity Magicians Barry and Stuart doing the same thing, holding one card up to a webcam and saying "Name any card, and THIS, will be it"

However after successfully wowing a lot of people I suddenly found out my IP was banned, has anyone else tried magic on similur sites? I don't see the harm in it :(

Unfortually CR gets alot of ...Naked Men.. On their site, maybe I was just mistook for one due to the webcam angle being in my chest / stomach area?

Hi Danny,

it depends:

1) Were you naked?
2) What were you shuffling?

Sorry :oops: :wink:

    It was Monkey Magic. Each week they had a slot called 'Nothing up my sleeve' in which one of them performed an effect in the buff, sometimes outside in the freezing cold.

    If u want to use this web site again, you should just sent them a mail to explain your problem.

    Good luck!

    Dynamic IP addressing is what you need. You are right about the naked men, but they now have a "report this user" button, so it's possible that someone reported you as having your todger out and that got you banned.

    If you want more onanistic pleasures, you could try LiveChat or similar where you would get a chance to at least build up a rapport with people. Though in fact these places tend only to attract the more visceral side of humanity. Lovely.

    I'd be surprised if the chat hoster banned magic tricks. What would be the point?

    Hey there all :)

    Just to say I have full access to the site again :) I think maybe it was a automated thing that bans people if they get so many `reports` - thing is, everyone clicks the `report` button to skip to the next person because the `next` button is really slow :(

    Reading this while tired attributes the following images;
    1) a naked magician attempting to impress ladies with his wiggly wand
    2) a man impressing ppl with magic suddenly confronted with a naked man who wants some magic tonite but sadly not of the card variety
    3) a guy logging in to chat to random people because he has no friends but clicks 'report', to quickly goto the next person because he is too busy to chat to everyone...?

    What kind of effects are suitable to perform over a webcam?

    There is a very limited viewable frame, so do people not think you are just doing something sneaky out of view?

    All the ones you would do if the spec was actually there. Makes no difference really.

    ID is always a goody on webcam

    Maybe you should just do magic for people not online, lets befair, using a webcam, I can do a brilliant dissapearance by simply dropping the item, the rapid move of the object causes a lag, i mean there is no challenge over a camera.

    It's not very difficult to do magic on chatroulette using a webcam, as you said, but what about this guy with the cards, I think it's pretty cool and I don't believe he uses his webcam for this trick !
