I gotta be missing something ... sucks why?
Except of course the sonofagun spilled the arrow-breaking rebar-bending thing I thought I was being all innovative by planning to recommend in the podcast. THAT sucks. |

Sucks.. because the guy is making it all look like "magic" tricks.
Sucks because that ain't rebar. That is 1/4" mild steel that has been twisted to appear to be re-bar. Re-bar doesn't have a specific recipe like standard steels, so usually it is too stiff for that type of bend. Gaffed... another reaon why it sucks.

Luis is a good guy. There is nothing gratuitous in anything he does. It looks like this will be a beautifully produced set of DVDs and probably will be priced to put them out of the hands of the youtube kids. I am following this with interest.

I don't mind the exposure. I just don't like the accessability to the YouTube crowd, as Todd refers. I see some plastic wrap in there--Harley?!
It says it discusses the history. I will be interested to see that.

Though I don't know much about this series, I do believe it is intended as an instructional series. Yes, that reference to history will be interesting. I did see the plastic wrap and want to see what that is all about.

The plastic wrap looked to be a part of the freezing stunt, but I could be wrong.

It looks to me that, if you can break a 1 1/2-foot arrow that way, a 6-foot rebar should be no harder (consider the leverage over 6 blinkin' feet, once you get a tiny sag going ... and if it doesn't sag enough all by itself I'd be surprised).

Nips gaffs his...nips... I always thought he could pick stuff up because he trained them to do all sorts of stuff on their own accord--like fleas in a circus. Turns out, I was wrong--they have holes in them!
Higley doesn't gaff anything. He uses the real deal. Todd uses lightbulbs by GE. Turns out they were made out of candy THE WHOLE TIME! Zajicek is really a computer that automatically posts 85 message per day. Ross uses a guy named Wayne--for what is unknown. Harley has uses a gaff in his one-nail bed of nails. The nail is real, but his spine is fake. (Ha! Take that Melvin!) Brett lies about his age (he is really 43!). Kondini is wearing a baldcap. Dr. Wilson is NOT A DOCTOR. (I think he has a PhD.) JS3 is a gaff made by his parents. Gwyd, Danny? I don't know about them, but I didn't want to leave them out. Jeremy p.s. Does anyone have room in their house, this avauilable lady is looking for a place to stay. It takes 10 men to...: http://www.digtriad.com/news/local_state......d=130403

She can stay in my garage. It is hot as hades so she will sweat that weight right off. I would probably have to move the refrigerator out though and that's where I keep the beer so I don't know. I'll have to talk to my wife.
As for the DVD's they look interesting. Wouldn't mind taking a gander but I'm sure they will be priced way more than I am willing to pay for such a thing. I like rare books. I didn't get that he was making it seem like magic. Due to all the "Stunts" captions that flew across the screen. But it is being released by a magic video company so maybe that's where some of you got that from. Todd, didn't you have a VHS tape out with Steven's Magic Emporium some time back? Do they still sell that? I saw it once at a friends house years ago. Very entertaining. I think that was the first time I became aware of you? Gosh, that was a long time ago. Ted |

I have that VHS tape of Todd's. It is OOP. I hunted it down and asked Tood to autograph it and the look on his face of, "how on earth did you get that?!?!" was HILARIOUS.
It was made a long time ago when Todd was Brett's age.

Jeremy, what is OOP? Is that some hip new lingo that I'm to old for or some old technical term I'm to young for?

Ok, since the subject of "Gaffs" came up, let's discuss them. So far, I don't use gaffs, but I have always thought, "What the audience doesn't know won't hurt them." For example, the Sword Swallowing Illusion that sells for like $15. Now, I don't own one, but I have seen it performed, and it looks pretty darn real. And if the audience BELIEVES that it is real (a great trick in and of itself!), what difference does it make?

Even in a hypothetical sense, claiming to swallow swords and doing a cheap trick is an incredible insult to those of us that have risked our lives, learning how to REALLY swallow a sword and perform the stunt on a regular basis.

I didn't mean to insult anyone. I just used sword swallowing as an example. I could have just as easily said a fake nail for blockhead, or a gaffed animal trap. I don't believe in using gaffs, but they are out there.
