Relax, no one here claimed that he doesn't have any super powers, just that he's using stooges in some of his effects. One time he climbed up a wall without anyone watching, so it's not like he needs stooges to prove his paranormal abilities.
Sorry if this thread caused any confusion for some people. |

Ok ok ok. Hang on a second.
First off I am not sure how shocked to be. Heck many of us called this ball and this pocket after show one season one. He uses stooges. No biggie. I guess my main problem is the OBVIOUS use of them. People watching know it and it hurts the show in my opinion. IF I had to do entire seasons of magic, 3 at last count, I would probably resort to stooges, or whatever you want to call them. BUT I may be just a bit less obvious in their use.

Hey Danny,
Good to see you around. I agree. It's not the use of the s-words, it's how they are used that is the problem. I can't remember the source but I remember reading/hearing the idea that stooges offend the audience because they then think that the performer didn't do anything special. It's a "Oh, well, ANYBODY can do that" type moment. The exact opposite of everything a performer tried to build up. For fans of Ortiz's "Strong Magic", it represents an instant loss of prestige. That being said, in the right situation, I would gladly use one (or even two!). -Carlos

Many people whom I talk with about the show, (that have watched it several times) are no longer mystified. In fact, they no longer watch it.
