You are getting sleepy...  You will take all of the money out of your wallet and send it to me...

Not working?  Damn.

David Blaine is pretty much ruining it for the entire industry. Magicians (or whatever they want to call themselves now) is about 90% showmanship. David Blaine is just an ass doing stupid stunts. Dive of Death? Puhlease. :laugh2:

I had a girlfriend who was susceptible to suggestion, alas only through copious amount of alcohol.  :laugh2:

RayB:
Derren Brown is not in anywhere the same "category" as David Blaine.  Blaine was about magic tricks, and then turned into mr "look at me doing nothing for a reall long time" nonsense.

Derren is about psychology, and explaining why people believe dumb things and behave in dumb ways (though it's not always explained directly or at all, and "dumb" is my own inference). ;-)

Check out his "Trick or Treat" episodes, "Seance", "The Heist", "The System", etc...
