Scumbag Magicians in our Midst

 

 

 

P2P Virus Blues

Some of you already know this and some of you don?t and it should probably stay exactly as it is.  But when Inside Magic began in the late 1990?s, we had just two missions; and one of them was to bring you the latest magic news. 

 

The other mission involved our life-long goal of getting the investigative community to re-open the Warren Commission to finally consider the incredible ?coincidental? evidence that the late-Chung Ling Soo?s murderous wife, Dot, was in Dallas before and after November 22nd, 1963.  You can read more about that mission and the compelling facts that demand an answer by clicking here. 

 

So here is the truth we are reluctant to share. 

 

There are spin-offs of the now-emasculated Napster peer-to-peer file sharing system that have so far scooted under the radar.  Kazaa, Morpheus, eDonkey and WINMX have all set-up what is called ?true p2p systems.? 

 

Napster incurred the wrath of the recording industry but also the penalties of the Federal Copyright law because it was more than just a way of people getting together to share files.  Napster actually kept some of the files transferred and was, therefore, more involved in the illegal acts.

Seven Year-Old Performs Sightless Drive

 

“She’s Just a Child!”

Saroja Roy of Hyderabad, India is the youngest blindfolded driving magician in the country. Ms. Roy has been training since she was three under H. Guhay, who has a world record in blindfold driving.

 

Not to rest on her laurels ? heck, we didn?t even pass our driver?s test without a blindfold until we were 19 (the test was biased against Irish Magicians) ? Ms. Roy holds the distinction of performing six magic tricks at a time and has been listed in the Limca Book of Records.

 

Kamalkar Roy, her pop and biggest fan, says he introduced her to the world of magic to spread awareness among people and eradicate blind beliefs. “Me and my wife were doing a lot of service to the public to eradicate blind beliefs to develop awareness among the public. On this aspect we started our stage representative programme. On the way only I developed my girl into magic to eradicate blind beliefs.”

 

Ms. Roy performed more than 200 charity shows all over India and has been helping children with cancer and living in orphanages. Her mother Padma Roy says magic was her inborn instinct. “When Saroja was two years old, my husband used to get a lot of toys for her. But Saroja never showed any inclination for toys. So we introduced her to magic. I think it was in her traits to perform.”

 

Ms. Roy hopes to enter the World Magic Championship in Madrid.  If she starts driving now, she should make it before it begins in 2005. 

 

Congratulations Ms. Roy.
