Re: "Make Believe"
I didnt care for it. Gives over An blown and inaccurate representation of the importance of wms. The 'creativity' of the stars often amounts to little more than 'what else can I multiple between my fingers the way magicians used to do billiard balls.' Though I don't blame them. One of the judges was seem defending a contestants candle steal for it's originality. The passion and intensity of the kids comes through, and that is super great.
But I think it creates a false impression of what constitutes good or original magic.
But then again, I'm an a@$hole

Re: "Make Believe"
George,
There are several threads about "Make Believe" on the Forum, all with various opinions. Do a search and you'll find them.
And Brad, if you are such an a@$hole, why don't I ever see you at the meetings?
