To quote my grandfather, ?There are few things you can change in life, take great joy in changing your socks.?
I was reading the article in the Orlando Sentinel this afternoon (see the daily news update on this page) and thinking to myself, ?Hey, why not just be a complete fake ? as opposed to a partial fake ? and make some serious lettuce??
You can read the full article about the alleged spiritual medium that gets to dress up in just khaki pants and a collar-less shirt for work and makes serious coin by clicking here.
At Inside Magic, we wear jump suits with colors indicating the type of job we have ? we learned this from the Navy (actually just the movie about the Navy, Top Gun). So, writers wear red, editors wear blue, ad sales people wear a barrel and the lingering stink of cheap honor bar bourbon.
All seriousness aside, why not take our Svengali decks and Spirit Slates and do it the way those with less ethics but higher bank balances do? Consider the rap of our inspired philosopher Eminem (raised just 20 minutes from our studio) once rapped :
Not long ago, I wrote a very critical article about David Blaine titled, Blaine to World: Watch Me, Look at Me, Touch Me. The article was written with such a vitriolic and self-righteous tone that it got some notoriety outside of Inside Magic in part because I spread the message by submitting it to on-line magic publications.
One of our members correctly took me to task for my article attacking David Blaine and his self-promotion up to and including his announcement that he engaged in a romantic situation while still attached to hospital monitors My brother in Magic was correct that bashing Mr. Blaine did not elevate the Art and was unnecessary. I am sorry that I engaged in exactly what I so dislike. It isn’t ironic that I later wrote a column suggesting we need more brotherhood and less back-biting and bashing of our fellow magicians. In re-reading the David Blaine post, I think I violated what I thought I stood for and I am ashamed that I would do that. I don’t mean to excuse my behavior in anyway but I think I followed my own inertia into writing the last Blaine piece. At the start of his 44 days in the box, I took exception to his claims that he was on par with Jesus Christ and that he was in some manner approximating the starvation others had endured either voluntarily but for a cause (in the case of Bobby Sands and the IRA prisoners) or involuntarily (the concentration camp victims). But my discomfort with Mr. Blaine’s self-approximation isn’t something I needed to share and could have been kept to myself. It was also something that I should have worked on to determine why I felt the discomfort in the first place. There are so many positive stories in our medium that I should have taken the higher road. My self-righteous tone and comments were out of line. I have deleted the offending diatribe from Inside Magic. I appreciate my brother magician addressing the issue with me in private and I should learn by his example.

Ironically, or not, because it is a port-a-let (portaloo) there is no plumbing so he has to take a break and use a bucket to actually do that which one would normally associate a port-a-let (portaloo).
