And now I'll tell you a secret (one of many I have...) about Raven: He was practicly paralyzed for the whole last month. He's got some serious back problems that begane a few days before the first show and in the last month when he's not on stage he uses a cane to walk in better days and a wheel chair in worse, and tons of pain killers.
This is truely phenomenal. But I guess CA has done somthing more impressive with a wheel chair in his career so don't get too enthusiastic about it. Nimrod , Israel p.s. and an interesting insight: 3 of the 10 contesters are Israeli. 2 of the 4 finalists are Israeli (did you know that Raven is from Israel?). What can I say... we are good... ;-) |

Then he's a brave man (or possibly stupid...?) to fall backwards, even on a mattress!

Did those three compete in the Israeli show? A practice run always helps.

Eran was dangerously close to missing that mattress when it fell backwards. That would not have been fun at all...

That's sad to hear, I hope Eran will feel better soon. He and Guy are the only ones who actually keep the show somewhat mysterious and worth watching. I think they should both win it.

I totally agree. Sometimes we forget what laymen want. They want to be thrilled. They want to see a phenomenal man. Super, Angela and Gerry fails to deliver that. The first 2 are entertainers before they are mentalists. The last is merely an actress (and not a good one).
Nimrod , Israel p.s. a week from now all the inside secrets will be out. |

I had a great deal of fun with both Eran and Guy in a store in Hollywood.
Eran and I thought it would be funny to fill Guys cart with all sorts of things when he was not looking. Eran could hardly walk for trying not to laugh and being in pain. To bad Guy caught on before getting to the register. (Would have loved to watch Guy pulling out all of those tooth brushes, Ambasol and women's supplements at the counter) Anyway Eran looks a lot better this week. If you watch the first show you can see the pain on his face. -Jim

I am sorry to hear that. I hope he recovers speedily.
I still will say the clips of him doing street magic and the like show he is really personable and has great rapport... Eran, scew the big stage stuff! Do a street mentalism effect on Uri! Wheelchair Idea... imagine being stuck in a wheelchair as you roll onto a stage... and your premise to allow someone to experience what it might be like to be paralyzed... for a bit.... a spectator sits on the chair and cannot escape it until you allow it... and resume the place.... tie into messages of empathy and consideration of people who have these issues and to care for our fellow humans. Just a thought. I think I might work on that premise...

My good friend who passed away six years ago, Dr. Harry Seagal, both a psychiatrist and magician, maintained that the root of violence and criminality was a lack of empathy, and in fact, we collaborated in a presentation on the subject for Mensa in Bel Air - a psychiatrist and a criminal defense lawyer discussing/debating issues concerning crime in society. Please let me know if you'd like me to collaborate with you on your presentational idea. I'm brimming with my own ideas for it. Arnon |

Empathy. CA could use a healthy dose of this. Sounds like just what the "Doctor ordered". Arnon you might have just touched on "the cure". Great ideas, keep them coming.

Arnon and Dr. Skeptor, as someone who has been confined to a wheelchair(paraplegic) for the last 28yrs., I think this is a great idea. It would be fascinating to see the responses of people that this was done to. If any of you have any ideas as to how this would be accomplished I would very much love to hear from you. Like I said me being in a wheelchair I would love to be able to perform this on people.
Please keep me posted with any ideas that you may have. Even if that means that you would sell such an effect. thanks edh

DJM:
Any idea what Lior Suchard has been doing these days? Did Uri Geller actually follow through with his words on Israeli TV, and impart to Lior Suchard any "secrets" as part of a publicity stunt or otherwise? Has Lior Suchard been performing or otherwise profiting from his win on "The Successor" off TV? Arnon |

Hi Arnon
I'm not really sure what he's been up to, I only got to see him in a few TV interviews in recent months. On his website it says he has his own stage show where he performs, and the publicity from Geller's show probably got him more audience to see him. What I did notice from the interviews is that he hints some paranormal claims, and doesn't like the word illusion much. But maybe that's just part of being Geller's Successor. |

Lior seems to be the one magician/mentalist nowdays engoying a celebrity status (at least he is the only one that the gossip columns write about )
I met him two weeks ago and he was full of energy. |

Hi Arnon,
Sounds good - I've already developed simulations for people with alzheimer's disease, parkinson's etc... the key is to create a method where the person doesn't play along - they get stuck or are robbed of physical abilities for a moment... Well, PM me and we can toss some ideas around Dr S
