Please take the time to try out Yannick Lacroix's Bermuda Triangle. It is a very easy complete routine with an ending that will leave at least one spectator speechless

Re: Magicians Head to Haiti
Ask the Haitian people what they think. All the companies that will donate money that you hear on the news is for the same reason. They want people to talk about them...I have no problems with that. My point is that Haiti needs the money. Whatever way it reaches them. Too bad people are capitalizing...

If he collects 50,000$ for Haiti and gets LOADS of press coverage...good for him! Every penny counts. Oh he probably does it for press coverage also but at the same time, he collects money for those in need. He gained a few points in my heart.
