Couple of things strike me as funny on this thread :
1) We get some press releases from what appears to be a very pro Uri guy who directs the Houdini museum. I'm sure that Houdini would see the irony in that. 2) I am really, really, really concerned about the mindset of posters on the Café who will claim that they believe in the paranormal and psychic powers. You're not talking to lay people here, you are talking to folk who know that the collected works of Banachek, Corinda et al are sat on your bookshelves. What gives ? |

Your belief has made you hole.
...think not that all wisdom is in your school. You may have studied other paths,but, it is important to remember that no matter who you are or where you come from, there is always more to learn.

To all: In discussing your beliefs, methods, psychology of mentalism, PK, mindreading, etc., please remember these pages are on a public forum and can be Googled.
Names of books or writers, etc., philosophy and philosophy of disclaimers are part of the real secrets of this art form. Some here may be giving laymen access to that information by posting here. Many on this site may make a living in this field. Some of the things said here might better on pages that have limited access. Just my thoughts. magicusb

Some one mentioned Houdini in regards to one of my postings..

I'm sure that Houdini would see the irony in that. Many, many, many related to our field are not aware, because of their own agendas or lack of education, that Houdini counted amongst his friends many mindreaders, clairvoyants, and mystery acts. People currently make claims about Houdini's thoughts in this area that are completely wrong and and self serving. If you can, read Houdini's Conjurors Magazine. It came directly from his home in New York. He edited, wrote, published and controlled it, as naturally he would. Read it please and you will find many favorable reviews of mindreaders, mentalists, psychic entertainers, etc. He did not attack them. He would not have attacked fellow performers the way many magicians think it is ok to do today. He had a respect for fellow performers, unlike many now do. In fact there are once in a while good notices of other escape artists besides Hardeen. Get educated before you make claims. His crusade and possibly beliefs were very narrow. He even wrote a movie that he starred in that promoted reincarnation. "The Man From The Beyond!" Regards magicusb

I am not in a position to put words in the mouth of such a paramour in our field.
I can only tell you what he said and did. He did not come down on or attack mystery entertainers, or performers in general. That, I believe, is a fact. Contacting the dead is another matter. He did attack a few escape artists that he felt were stealing the escape act that he felt he originated. magicub

The key is a POV that involves harming another is not a good thing to respect...
Of course, what does respect mean?

Mike, you are lost and your ignorance blinds you.
Your last statement proves my point. Randi could not expose me, so he talked Angel into trying to do what he was afraid to. Thanks for playing J ack

Mike, Jim lives in a world where he thinks Randi and Criss know him, or care about him.
Don't take part in the debate as Jim stays in a world where he is "on" all the time. His supporters say it all the time. It is the key to being less frustrated by him. He is not taking part in our world but one he has created in his own mind. Those who go to see him enjoy it if they are in his world, if not, he looks like a putz. No biggie, let him believe what he will. No way to change his mind, he chooses not to live in our world. Jim, if you ever desire to stop by our world for a visit, I bet you would be an interesting guy to talk too. If you ever make it to our world let me know.

You've had six weeks to come up with something, and that's the best you can do?
And here I'd been thinking the "czero" was referring to your name. My bad. |
