Do you believe him?
I didn't before I watched this vid. Now I see him in a whole new way:

PS:
FUCK TED talks, lol
They have some cool speakers but as a whole I find the whole org unbelievably bias and frightening. Most of the speakers are honest and unaware

^^ yeah I still am a bit on the edge if the whole thing is still a troll
wonder if he'll ever come clean one day, maybe as an old man.
If these stunts are legit however he deserves much respect. Kind of a stupid way to use his talents imo but impressive nonetheless. Self control is a difficult thing under extreme conditions if you have the choice to quit at any second.

Hey all
Our good friend fugazi @ EY posted an interesting query regarding the idea that some modern magicians may actually be driving their abilities through supernatural means.
Check out these references he provides:
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bb/book_eight06.htm
Manly P. Hall notes that the theory of ceremonial magic is that, “It is possible to make contracts with spirits whereby the magician becomes for a stipulated time the master of an elemental being.”
But the consequences are huge...Hall continues, “after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon. For this reason a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave.”
Anton LaVey, had some elucidating things to say on this matter:
“LaVey makes no distinction between white and black magic, claiming that white Wiccan witches and ‘new agers’ have been freely calling upon the dark forces and suiting them to their own hypocritical purposes. He stated, ‘All magic is the realm of the Devil, no matter how righteously you dress it up. The claims that ‘black’ magic is only for destruction and ‘white’ for healing is bunk. Satanic magic is used to invoke powers of justice, and can be used to help yourself or one you care about, just as easily as it would be used to curse someone’…
Then he refers to the tale of Faust, which leads to the time-old archetype of the crossroads etc
ANYWAYS - apply this myth to what you see here. Fact or fiction?

The first act in the 3rd vid ^^ , he openly sets up the trick by saying he is going to open a gate to the other side and use spirits to achieve the trick.
Of course this could just be part of the delivery, but if so, it sort of requires an assumption that no such thing is possible at all. Yet sometimes when invitations are made, watch out lol I have seen enough to feel that it is not something to be played with lightly
Like I said who knows. Interesting food for thought though

Dude at the start of this vid also openly says his show is the result of a spirit that has been attached to him all his life:
He's a magician. It's all bullshit boss.
Just like TED talks.
