"I'll be your Sledge Hammer" by Raven....

Good stuff - Ross is given a magic amulet that makes him stiff as a board...he is placed on two tops of chairs and a concrete brick is placed on his belly and smashed by Raven.... which then ends the thing with a inspiration message... if he skipped the last speech it would have been slightly better IMHO

The Deal or No Deal girls laugh.

By the way, did you notice all the times I have been posting DEAL OR NO DEAL weeks before? My first prediction has come true- the Deal or No Deal girls are in the audience.

I am the armchair phenom

-----

Oh, the opener sent Guy out. However, they opened with 4 celebs picking four coloured flags and handing to the finalists who ripped off their tops to show matching coloured shirts. Nice visual.

----

More on the spot coverage to follow.

----

Oh yeah, CA is in his usual form and picking on JC for no reason.

---

Also, stupid clips of Phenoms like the Loch Ness Monster and Crop cricles are showen i.e. #5 and #4 crazy phenom...

----

OOOO here comes Deal or No Deal....

The Tattoo Man is now doing the spare change trick (with a NW! Wowsa! Way to go)...

The Madman of Mentalism now is doing a card trick.... human lie detector on a card... suit.... next card... ooo a number and a suit... ummm... uh OK>

Jan... kisses the hand of a DoND girl (he is a European)... and is using a sharp razor blade to cut paper... demo's its sharpness with paper... gets the girl to hold it... Jan is checking out her breasts..... grabs the razor from her hands with his fingers on the sharp ends...a dn presses in and bends it...(OK, c'mon)

GM now doing a ESP symbol trick... makes a girl mark one on a big board... another is going to pick up her images in the water dish... three wavy lines appear... NICE. He invites all to come to his vega$ show

Ehud... light bulb effect (no spinning cards in evidence) - good and bad energy... gets the hot women to hold him (good move Ehud!).... summons bad energy and the lightbulb explodes!!!!

JIMBO.... does a rope trick... makes a rope go through his belly - and does it in a humourous and light way...smiling and joking...good for you Yojimbo!!!!


-------------------

Boy, there are a lot of store bought effects out tonight! Eeek. However, Tattoo did get (hopefully) the number of a DoND girl... Madman made some chuckle... Jan did his European charm.... Ehud blew a bulb...and Jim is showing his light side.

--------------------

Phenom #3 countdown - Stonehenge (zzzz)

Oh, Criss Angel Clip kicking the camera angle.... woo hoo...

--------------------

MIKE SUPER takes the stage.

Gets blonde spec.

Card Effect!

USA today paper. Bought something sweet in a paper bag!

"You did a great job shuffling" oy .... she deals 8 cards... he takes the deck back... spec then chooses a random dollar bill from a bin... and then puts her into a transparent box that blows around a ton of dollar bills and she will grab one... "The Marilyn Monroe" effect he calls it "We turned a newsanchor into an airhead )"... grabs a dollar, she folds it in half... places it in an envelope "As he doesn't want to touch ot" .... places dollar bill in the envelope (ho ho)... 8 random cards.... oooo I see it coming.... the cards match the serial # of the dollar bill!!! TADA!

Berglas / Becker combo again - big props for a closeup effect.... ooooo.... but wait - his kicker comes.... he asks her to imagine what she would buy for a dollar that is sweet... "A cookie... a chocolate cookie" "A chocolate chip cookie".... the cookie is in the bag....

And in the USA today.... on page 13D is placed the classified ad... all the actions are predicted.

Hmmm... do I detect a variation on a theme... Mike, I loves ya, man... but I notice the triple prediciton kicker with big props..... but what the hey... go for it, magic mental man!!!!!

I'd hire him for a gig

------------------------------------------

Maybe they're saving it for a boffo close to a boffo series.

Unexplained Phenom thing #2.... Area 51

I like that one - Cthulhoid Mi-go who pretend to be the Greys and all that.


Angela Funovits takes the stage.

"She is going to give a cutting edge performance" OUCH... Oh, her attire may be complained about by the usual suspects around here... but I must say I like it.

Poor Ross is about to go through a being sawed in half performance.... she tied him up, gagged him - and you will note her costume is very dominatrix like.

The women are placing him in a box.

AF does not see which box he is in. She is now walking around with a chainsaw about to cut through random boxes... she is wearing protective eyewear! See! She is a good role model for how to protect eyes...

Now she getting a spec to pick boxes (MC/Equiv heheeeee... I love that)... and starting sawing through boxes.... Ross has a camera on him and he looks scared... the womens say AF is cuh-razy!!!!.... Getting specs to chop chop....

AF is using the motif of reading the mind of a woman who put Ross in a box.... no more choices - now just sawing baed on random thoughts...

OOOO he is safe!! AF says "OH thank God!"

No giggling! Oh yeah - she knocked that out of the park She looks happy! A nice powerful woman figure tonight! As she said, time for men to get sawed in half versus the traditional women!

----------------------------------

Elimination who goes home next.....

Erun Raven is OUT....



NOTE My next prediction has come true again... ANGELA is in the FINAL TWO as I SAID MONTHS AGO....


Yes, Dr S, the Armchair Phenom.

Unexplained Phenom #1.... The BERMUDA TRIANGLE oooo (Hey Prof Peadbody - one day we'll finish that book project hail TINDALOS!!!)

The Envelope Pleez:

1 Envelope saved for opening episode of MINDFREAK....

JIM C is NOT being offered to GUESS... but URI is... URI refuses....

Criss Angel shows the number written on a paper 911.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Boring. Boring. Boring. JC not offered. Boring. BORING.


The Winner is:

MIKE SUPER


------------

Oh, take note my three predictions came true all can be proven with thread searches...

The Deal or No Deal girls

Angela in the final two

Mike Super is the Winner

-------------------

Now to go back playing dice with the universe.

It is sad to be able to see the future like this - but such is my lot in life.

-------------------

Now, let us go crazy on the fact JC was denied his ability to destroy

-----------------

Mike Super, congrats! And Angela, you will be getting so many opportunities - you are a winner too!

And hats off to all who participate.

----------------

The armchair mizzarist awaits to read the chaos.

I feel like I was there, and it was a strange horse race with people doing tricks on their backs, and the lights flashing, and the girls, and the boys all together, wriggling.

Thanks.

Jim's rope effect is his own creation...developed it many, many years ago. Incredibly clever methodology.

I think he chose to perform that effect because he was making a statement about what this show was really about...'cause it sure wasn't mentalism.

As an added bonus...I bet Criss Angel is still scratching his head in wonder.

Best,
Mick

Exactly Terry!

It was pointless.

The goal was to have a CHALLENGE - money on the line - reputations on the line - something with dramatic tension...

In the end.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Who cares if it was switched because there was no effect! Talk about anticlimax.

Oh well, maybe Jim will be a guest on the season premiere of MINDFREAK.

Hey CA dressed up for the night! EEHHH

Whatever - Jimbo basically demo'd a magic effect and showed the scope of the Paranormalist.

Anyone who still thinks he claims real supernatural powers after that.... please check into Bellvue.

Oh, my next prediction - Angela Funovits will be the Big Winner overall.

I had this "sick" feeling when Criss showed the prediction. I'm not here to knock him...I just felt it really wasn't in good taste. I realize that he wanted to make a point, but it just didn't leave me with a very good feeling. I would have much rather seen a face or something mundane.

With all due respect, just because I wasn't vocal on the Café about Criss' remarks on the show doesn't mean I am "finally" seeing something. There were a number of things I didn't agree with (and why just be a parrot?), but some here responded in ways that were overboard (making fun of his lisp, etc). Those comments and some others were way out of line - and there seemed to be some jumping to conclusions, which I questioned.

That was Jim's way of Mocking the process and the fact that he was not allowed to take the challenge as he was asked to do and was willing to take...Bad Form NBC.
No Million in cash either..Seemed CA cut off URI amid sentance to open the dual envelope( Taking no chances by not allowing anyone to guess and the ability to switch if they did get it)
Kind of Sucked.
I'm glad Jim has gotten a few hundred thousand more hits on his website
