I think Jim is also a musician and is booked in those venues. Perhaps that is why him and CA never got along. He had a million dollar challenge also. I think his biggest deal was being invited to host mindvention in Vegas. I may be wrong but I read he was one of the hosts and presenters at the big mentalist convention. He also was headlining at a theatre at the time of the show and had many interviews when the show was finished.

I did read something about a Phenomenon 2 but unsure if it was a network idea or just the fans of the show.

Gosh, I did not know about the mentalist who backed out and died a year later.
Did he happen to be from Germany Domino?

You guys still base a performers success on the amount they earn, or the size of venues they play.

You are defining success based on YOUR ideology of it.

What if a performer is perfectly happy and content in life just performing locally or regionally and it provides him enough to live a happy content life?

To me, success is when a person accomplishes what THEY desire in life - not those peering in from the outside.

Some performers are more "artists" and less "capitalists". I see it all the time on the street when busking. They are where they want to be in life... and are succeeding.


I agree with this 100%.

Cheers.

I for one really hope Jim Call dose surprise the Magic Community & the Public by really proving His talents & idea on His own terms ! As far as the "Paranormal" issue its universal and not going to go away,but what is out there in TV reality land is just garbage,rehashed,and often unintelligent reselling of spiritist parlorism,which I'm sorry Chris,Blane,and so many others,have done nothing new or orginal themselves.Only time will tell if Jim Call moves beyond,this yes contrived controversy to give us something,real,fresh,and new,that will once again open up the real Para-Normal reality,that so few can truly define,but then if He dose that there will be real controversy,maybe next he will channel Eugene Poinc,who was a real Paranormalist,beyond anything that is passing as bizarre or magical.

The mentalist who I referred to earlier who died, was Jason Scott.

Domino Magic,

Thanks for the sharing ! Jason;“I learned magic to get inside people’s minds.” That he did and more. He got into not only the minds of his audiences, but also the hearts and minds of those who knew him..."Magic Never Dies" !

It was indeed very sad about the sudden death of Jason Scott. Smile

I actually knew Jason rather well as the two of us worked together many times doing close-up magic in restaurants (Francisco's, etc. ) here in northern California prior to his move to mentalism and Las Vegas.

Regarding Mr. Callahan - welcome back. Smile

Thank you Mr.Brooks, I am sure if others are not happy about this thay are for sure wondering.

And that is how it should be for a time.

No I think we shall call A.A. Danny D. Mr. Decomposed.

It is a good fit for him.

Pluss my new rule is that if you do not offer your real first name I will give ya one that I think fits you.
