I got quite a lot of emails suggesting magician Shane Wright to be a Weekly Magic Failure, for having had sex with a twelve-year-old girl. HERE IS THE STORY. I will not do so.
He is not a magic failure... but a human failure. There is a line I need to draw somewhere.
I found out about this guy a few hours ago. Since then I have been browsing and researching. A face palm is not enough. Yesterday I posted this video by the French pantomime Jérôme Murat. A unique living statue act.
Raimini ripped him off:
And that was what I wanted to post initially. But then I found out about his great website: He actually has a online magic story integrated in his promotional website. On that store he's got stuff to sell. On of the items: The Thumb Tip. A nice big picture of it, and a description of a trick that can be done with it. So not only is Raimini ripping off, but also exposing.
But if that doesn't convince you that he deserves the title Weekly Magic Failure... this will. His promotional video. I won't say anymore words.
Jérôme Murat's Statue act. It's not new by any means, but I hardly see anybody doing something quite as beautiful. Nice combination of Zombie, third hand and switching between them.
Peter Loughran can't help himself can he? The promotional videos for his products are always done with a shitty ass camera. Boost the contrast, use proper lighting, use HD! Well aside from the video (Keep the into to 5 seconds) it is again a case of false advertisement. At the 2-minute-mark it tells you that the item uses no electronics. That is no true. I am sure they are referring to the plancette, but it seems to refer to the whole board, which doesn't look like a simple board made of wood.
Well I always thought that at a certain point in our individual magic evolution we get out of the magnet phase. Peter is still stuck in it.
