Gentlemen - might I recommend that you consider picking up a copy of 'Non Violent Communication' by Marshall Rosenberg or indeed 'Crucial Conversations' by Patterson et al?
While venting bile might offer temporary relief from unresolved personal issues, it doesn't ultimately allow any movement forward, nothing is clarified and positions seem to become all the more entrenched!! As a newcomer to the forum, please excuse my post if it is a little presumptuous but it strikes me that noone is winning or benefiting from such combative interactions - take a breath, wish eachother well and move on - and if that's too much to ask, then just move on!! |

Arnon I am not running to anyones defense. I am simply pointing out that you ask for "proof" everyday on the forum. YOu threaten lawsuits more than any ambulance chaser I have ever met in my life. Yet when one person asks you for any kind of proof you fly off the handle. I guess it just strikes me as odd. You ask others to back everything up, but you don't do it yourself.
I am not trying to be argumentative, but seems like a double standard. |

I think his question was sensible and had merit. Jim's out there doing a fantastic job, he's putting out material to much critical acclaim and has created great controversy with Angel making himself a house hold name with out breaking a sweat. We can't diss a brother. |

I will not reply anymore to this person, as he just wants to hijack the topic.
It is about Uri Geller. He goes back on his word when he said in a post he will supply the info. His name I believe is Are None, which fits. Houdini has been quoted as saying, "here are two kinds of magicians, the doers and the knockers." The ones on the Uri Geller show were for sure the doers, as they are around the world on this successful show for Uri Geller. I leave it at that. Bye Sorry to the rest of the members that had to go through this. If you ever find him invading another topic, just ignore it. Dick

Dick,
I am with you on this. The guy runs his yap but I have not yet seen proof he has even worked the Castle. (But he thinks he was and is good enough to get on the show) I also agree he is trying to derail the topic. Good advice to ignore him and his postings. Unless he can make good on his offer. (Bet he cannot) J *** H.O.A-

There are several people posting on this topic that are not in keeping with the forums purpose which is "magicians HELPING magicians" and should possibly be banned from the entire site. If any of you feel the same write those who run it.

Your office manager won't allow you to waste your time researching something you committed to provide, eh? What is his/her position on the time you've spent crafting and posting argumentative retorts on this thread? And.....who works for whom?? Just curious... |

When I watched the auditions for American Idol, I saw "thousands" of people waiting to audition. When I watched some of the casting call videos at YouTube, there was one individual at a time in a hallway; I didn't see a line of people out the door waiting to get in. It may not be proof, but really, "thousands" auditioned?
Jim, were there thousands -- even hundreds -- of other mentalists waiting to audition when you went? Regards, Steve

I'm sure it was more than a thousand.
I'm not sure how watching American Idol auditions has anything to do with the way NBC handled these auditions. It was pretty involved. DVD's phone calls and zillions of emails The top guys were flown to Hollywood.

Hi Slim,
Magicusb said, "He (Gerry McCambridge) was picked out of hundreds, or thousands to be on the show,..." In turn, Arnon said he had auditioned and there weren't "thousands". Given the AOL Video clips (each with only one individual present and a rather empty hallway) vs. the sea of people waiting to audition for American Idol, I find it hard to believe there were thousands of mentalists who auditioned. Here's a link (I mistakenly said it was YouTube; it was actually AOL Video): http://video.aol.com/video-detail/phenom......92432920 There are other clips as well, each with a single individual. I don't see any groups of people who look like they are waiting to audition in this clip taken outside: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/phenom......08100463 Does this strike you as a casting call at which thousands were waiting? I suppose a simple solution would be for someone to contact Marla and ask her for an approximate number. In the end, it really doesn't matter how many. Uri's show did well in other countries, but Phenomenon was a flop in the US... at least in my opinion. Regards, Steve

Close to 1,000 people according to Marla. But I think she also includes those they had seen on tape and talked on the phone, not just in person.

Are there even "thousands" of mentalists LOL?
I gotta say this is an arguement that I don't understand. There was so much substance to argue about, that getting bogged down in this is almost silly. Uri to his credit as much as it pains me to admit, has done well enough in another country to get another to do a season. Not anything I can claim I have done so I guess it deserves respect. "A big Hit" may be a bit of an optimistic view. Dick you obviously have a sort of agenda, and this is fine at least you don't hide it. Why argue about Phenemenon any more. The fact is the show bit. The performers maybe had no chance from jump. If the process was involved, it should have been MORE involved. It was not fair to anyone involved. Nobody came out looking as well as they should have, and that is a shame. Given a chance on national TV, and the TV PEOPLE blowing it! That sucks for the performers.

Yes, but as you can see in the casting videos, they also auditioned stage and close up magicians who have nothing much to do with mentalism. So if we are talking just about the number of mentalists, it was probably not that many.
