Peter. The thing that most people don't know is that there are many different type of magic and that people specialize in different types. In the magic community there's stage magic (like David Copperfield), there is mentalism, there is street magic, there is geek magic...the list goes on and on. The trick you are talking about is an adaptation of a levitation that is mostly developed for a "stage type" setting but I don't know how it's done. The thing I strongly dislike about Criss Angel is his use of camera tricks as well as stooges, that is, paid actors. David Blaine on the other hand, is about as pure of a magician as you can get. Nearly everything is slight of hand and practiced to where it really looks like true magic. That's the type of magic I do and enjoy watching.

Thanks for the heads up. When I was younger, about 15 or something, I was highly interested in doing magic, too, but I was more into like close-up magic, card tricks, coins, dices, Chicago Balls and such things - so I was surprised that you like those things, too.

I collect NFL and NHL games (most have are complete w/ commercials and intermissions/halftime) and I have been recording my nephews hockey games for the past 6 years. I've been posting my fliming on youtube.

Latest expedition

I went on a very (very) early morning trip to Stockton Beach on Saturday morning... that's right. This is what Australian Beaches are like.
