Re: Dover Books on Magic
Diamond Jim Tyler Bar Bets to Win Big Bucks This is one I didn't know about. I love Diamond Jim's Bamboozlers series, and it looks like this is a recycling of some of that material. Ad copy: " Between these covers you’ll find 67 illustrated feats ... This is a collection of “bar bets only” fro...

Re: New David Blaine Event
Going in the sky with a helium balloon has been done before. Just read about the Red Bull Stratos project here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Stratos " Red Bull Stratos was a high altitude diving project involving Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner. On 14 October 2012, Baumgartner fle...

Re: New David Blaine Event
Agreed. The fact that the video announcing the change was filmed with Blaine in Arizona only increases my level of suspicion:

Re: New David Blaine Event
It's been postponed for a day or two; they've announced a weather delay.
The stunt has also been relocated from NYC to Arizona.

Re: Academy of Magical Arts Award Winners for 2019
Of course, yes, I'd forgotten about that.
What about David Blaine declining last year's Magician of the Year award - what's the story here?

Re: Academy of Magical Arts Award Winners for 2019
Magician of the Year: Derren Brown This is quite an honour. Are there any notable things Derren achieved in the past year that would have contributed to this? As I recall, David Blaine was last year's award winner in this category. I read somewhere that he declined the award - what was that all abo...

I expect David to have some surprise for us that we hadn't figured on.
Looking forward to see this.

Re: Someone didn’t get the memo - performing animals
Favourite quote from this article:
Owenhouse has said his animals participate in the show “because they want to.” We’re thinking he might want to start billing himself as an “Animal Psychic Comedy-Magician.”

Re: Dover Books on Magic
Some of the titles in the Dover series are under-rated and often go relatively unnoticed. A good example is Allan Zola Kronzek's A Book of Magic for Young Magicians.

Re: Derren Brown: Desert Island Discs
And does he ever have the desire now, away from the stage and the cameras, to entertain with magic? “Now I’m the opposite. I never do tricks for people in real life, I find it really childish and silly and dishonest!” Whoa. That's quite a statement, especially coming from someone who built his care...
