I've never seen this illusion or Steve Wyrick until now.

I feel tremendous embarrassment for the magic community. I cannot believe that with all the fantastic magicians out there, this guy gets on Ellen. From his "PUNX" jacket to the ring vanish that looked like it was performed for the first time...but that "appearance" of the girl...to see her crawling into the tank like that...

I was thrilled when Close-Up Week happened on Letterman. Magic on TV moved forward. But now this. Well, I guess two steps forward, one sorrowful, embarrassing step back.

Re: Ryan Matney "I thought you were required to give your real name when you registered for this forum. I was. So, Richard should know whether that is Wyrick or not."

MagicLaw has been posting at the Magic Cafe since Mar 22, 2010.

So if he is Wyrick, he really planned this out long in advance.

I think it is more reasonable to assume that he is really just an attorney interested in the legal aspects of this, as he says.

Yes, I recall I had to give my real name when signing up for the forums here as well. Is that no longer the case?

I'm guessing that some people lie, putting a pseudonym in the real name section.

Has anyone else noticed MagicLaw's signature on The Cafe?

MagicLaw is not Steve Wyrick, but he is a practicing litigation attorney in Texas. The fact that he practices in the state where Wyrick is from makes me suspicious. As I've learned to my dismay on several occasions, Texas boys stick together.

He's not the attorney referred to in the Rick Lax article is he?

MagicLaw is an attorney from Dallas Texas. He performed Magic at one time but is now a lawyer. He is good friends with Steve from what I understand.

Let's ask him for the truth.

MagicLaw, is your given name Zach?
Are you a personal friend of Wyrick?

I guess we scared him away.

Or perhaps Wyrick can no longer afford to pay his mouthpieces anymore.

MagicLaw's name is not Zach.
But he's gone quiet.
