Originally posted by KK82 View PostWell, firstly, what my friend told me about his sister being asked by one of his crew what she was thinking of seems kinda strange. I usually wouldn't believe those type of stories, but I don't think she'd lie about something stupid like that. I do realise he obviously has the ability do do these tricks, but maybe he sometimes plays it safe and cheats a little to avoid getting it wrong.
On the Late Late show, I just thought it looked really fake with the two nurses. Their reactions to him guessing the people they were thinking of and the guy slapping him in the face just seemed really OTT. Did you see it yourself? What did you think of it? I know you're in the business yourself, so maybe you have a different perspective on it.
Do we give tell tale signs away when questioned and a trained magician ( not sure what you would call him) can pick up on them ? of course, that gimmick on the late late was just that, he did not seem to question them for them to give stuff away subconciously, yet he guessed the names of dead people, since psychic ability is a no go, bullshit...QED.This too shall pass.

I worked in Velvet once, back in the day of it being very exclusive and over 23s. Mainly because I worked in Envy and after a lot of persuasion I got stung to work! It sucked!

Originally posted by Caf View PostI think you do. Ye I'd say it's safe. Had a pop up that said it was approved by McAfee security so that was good enough for me, well that and the fact that others were watching it on there so must have downloaded it too.
i must have stuff downloaded from another time.

When his pulse disappeared completely the male nurse slapped his face, trying to get him to come around again. Just seemed really funny and OTT.. I mean, he knows that he's onstage with a magician/whatever who is making his pulse disappear. It was hardly a shock!
Yeah, I know that he could have most people in his act preconditioned so that they're effectively stooges themselves and it's a lot easier to do that than to pay stooges and risk it getting out that his act is fake, it was more the nurses reactions than anything else that looked staged. Obviously Keith's reaction when he came around looked really hammed up too, but that's because he actually was faking it.
I've never really been too blown away by what he does, probably because I've seen David Blaine do a lot of it before him.

He has good stuff and bad stuff, but as a working performer, he needs to have a huge amount of effects to turn out new shows. some of that stuff is bound to be duds then, i mean he has a full tour a year at the moment.http://mobro.co/zuroph

Just watched the clip, the most embarrassingly obvious stooges you will ever see. Barry cues the male nurse with a head scratch to start to react with "Jesus Christ" to the grandmother thing, it's funny because the starts to react after the head scratch cue but before he starts to say about the grandmother, fluffing his "Jesus Christ" of amazement before Barry has even got to mentioning a name.
Get better acting stooges imo.

Originally posted by Zuroph View PostI just took a quick flick through it there to see what people were talking about. the nurse thing is fairly standard trick, and the name reveals have just gotten easier and easier to arrange these days. whats the face slap? I didnt see that bit. theres several ways i'd achieve the trick he did with Ryan and eiffel tower too.

Re: not being able to play , it's disguised as the Strand Celtic Reserves training but afaik around 3 of the 14/16 who play on the wed actually play on the weekend. It ends up being just a kick about so all are welcome at this stage
Edit: Still trying to think of the Bolivian fella's name..it's all the more embarrassing because I was actually quite good mates with him..oopsLast edited by sligoboi; 04-04-11, 02:46.Pining for Wa'erford

FFS, websense seem to have cottoned on to my personal proxy and have started blocking it. I can still get in, in a round about way, but it's just a question of time before it's blocked for good. it's also kind of a scary block (URL filtering?) with a lot of data and a direct link to my IT department. looks like it's bye bye IPB and boards. Fuck me days are going to be long and boring.
Anyone knows if websense send this kind of stuff to your organisations IT team? i wonder if i'll get called up/given a warning/sacked for deliberately bypassing websense? I blame it all on wombatman!!! :-))

TBH I am very indifferent about playing the event, thought I would want to play it more than I actually do, especially since Liam Flood put his foot down to insist on a 20k starting stack. I think I would rather play cash games and the PLO Tournament for the weekend.

Unless Munster get their act together soon Lloyd will have two teams in red that he can post pictures of ancient memories everytime they win a meaningless match on their own fucking terms.
I'll be there to watch the cream of Europe's elite clubs in action in the world's leading competition
where will Munster be?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
