His stuff is SO David Blaine!

Hmmm my friend was talking bout this guy last night. Does he use real magic? LOL

Lets kidnap the fucker and get rich then we can leave him naked up west hove golf course to get bitten by badgers and squirrels 🙂

My mate was saying about the walk on water shit. He was saying last night that he basically believed it. But surley there has got to be a explaination to it??? has there???

Ha ha, he doesn’t use magic mate, he IS magic! How the fuck do you walk on water?

The walking on water gag is all pre-arranged. There are platforms that sit just below the water (you’ll notice that his feet are UNDERNEATH the water itself). The “police” are all pre-arranged and know exactly where to stop to pick up the performer.

C’mon guys, it’s not rocket science and it’s certainly not magic!

Thanks crispy, I expect you like telling kids there’s no father christmas too..

Waaahhh

Still looks waaay set up to me, and the one where he cut the headphone wire is really obvious. Still very well done and an awesome watch though.

even doing that isn’t as trivial as it seems, real cops, coastguard, environment ministry and similar agencies (quite understandably) really do not like folk doing this without following proper authorisation which isn’t trivial (not for bad reasons either, but you wouldn’t want someome on a boat on the same watercourse getting into difficulties and thinking the “cops” off the film set are real ones and could help them).

As I spent a large part of the 90s and early 2000s keeping out of the way of feds whilst working in the broadcast industry I soon learned the very subtle ways they allow folk to make authentic drama shows whilst not causing dangerous confusion (especially for scenes where CID/undercover units or large stunts are filmed) but a lot of folk are surprisingly easily fooled (for instance Trigger Happy TV makes a lot of use of the fact that older generations particularly on seeing a man in a peaked hat and uniform tend to obey him, no matter how ridiculous the orders may be).

BTW magick (the actuall full on stuff new age folk do which I am open minded about but I have more cynicism about any kind of organised faith/religion) is certainly a different thing altogether to conjuring tricks, and large scale practical jokes (such as what the late Jeremy Beadle used to pull off) which since the 70s/80s are increasingly interlinked but even these aren’t trivial and need a lot of preparation. I’m sure Beadle also did some conjuring tricks during the 70s/80s, perhaps on the obscure kids TV shows he would turn up on in that era.

Even more so in todays climate where people are actively told to report anything “hidden/out of place” to real authorities lest it might be a IED, CBRN device or something similarly less pleasant than a SFX gadget intended for light entertainment.

I do have a HUGE cynic in me,

but sometimes its just really nice to ‘make believe’

and people like him are good sometimes to really think there is magic out there 🙂

Stop spoiling all my fun, lol.

Sorry, I’ll stop now! lol

It’s good that people find it cool and mysterious otherwise it wouldn’t be worth learning to perform this stuff.

Have fun watching it!
