Bob Cassidy posts quite a lot on the Cafe. So do Harry Lorayne and Pete Biro. Even Harry Lorayne has been banned from the The Magic Cafe. Several times.

I hate how the only time Magic is on TV is either in a prank format or a semi-exposure format there is nothing "good" about this direction of Magic/Performance You've not seen Fool Us? Yes, which is why I said "Semi-exposure format" Penn and Teller get away with it because of th...

there is nothing "good" about this direction of Magic/Performance

Liderc

I hate everything about this

Liderc

Good, but in the end, this really does nothing to address any issues.

I noticed in the last topic my posts got deleted

Liderc

If, from a distance, you feel the need to jump to the worst possible conclusions, I suppose that's your right. The person on this thread who lists performing at the Magic Castle as an apparently proud credit in his sig might want to consider removing it; you can't have it both ways. Meanwhile, thos...

Liderc

As I said above, This has happened to me, not only by staff, performers, and other Members, but other people (staff, performers, and other Members) heard and either laughed or ignored it... and even outside of the Magic Castle, this has happened to me by other Magicians. As it is now the Magic Castl...

Liderc

I can't read it because of the paywall, but I can confirm on my self that I have experienced racist remarks and racism from Staff and other members and performers there, and when you bring it up to the management/president I have been ignored or brushed off as a "one-time incident"

Liderc

I can relate to this, as a Native-American-Mexican I have felt Racism in my life as well as within the "Magic Community' from spectators at shows, to other Magicians/Performers Our Native Genocide and Racism against us goes back further than slavery, and as Natives, we are erased, ignored and l...

I always find it amusing the Mentalists who are the loudest about "don't act like you have real powers" and go off on some moralists rant, and yet turn around and present as some NLP expert

Liderc

Dani and Danny were worth the time alone

Liderc

I am biased towards it, but always enjoy watching him perform

Liderc

yes, between canceled and shut-down events, filming, shows etc and this being my only "source" of income I don't know how long what I have will last

Liderc

Yaaass!!! Thank you, Even though i don't agree with him on Psychic Powers not being real, I truly love him and his work!

It is i was just replying to something that effects me among the other GLBTQ+ people and Magicians Word Wide

Liderc

I'm unaware of his views on Marriage.

But i'm Glad that legally i can get married now if i want, it was a step towards equality and LoveWon that day, but there are man more steps that need to be taken, i hope our next step is to become a federally Protected class for the GLBTQ+ community!

Liderc

I've seen quite a bit of performances in the 'Paid Showrooms' where they flash horridly, is that not the same 'Exposure'? i've heard guest in line discussing the show they just sawr, and catching the 'Invisible Thread' utilized is that not the same thing? i've also seen performers duplicate routines...

On a sidenote my favourite move in recent years has being the HOLLINGWORTH OPTICAL ALLIGNMENT by Guy Hollingworth. It is alot easier to do than you would first imagine. And it is is just beautiful. When the card reverses it looks perfect since there is no visible finger movement. A rare thing in sle...

I've never been a fan of Grasso. and i really didn't think is "surprise" ending was all that surprising, sure you could argue the fact that i'm a magician so i know what to look for. but it just wasn't. people that i talk to who are not in the know of any magic thought that was going to ha...

Poster: houdini's ghost But,the reason the Peller is no longer available for week-end "impromptu" performances is that two additional magicians have been hired on those nights to give regularly scheduled performances in that room. that the Real Members of the club (The Magician Members) m...

Liderc

I wonder if they will just close the library on those nights. More non members come to these things than members. Let's see who is more important,cabaret customers or members? We now have some sort of Magic Castle Gestapo, who can even tell the B.O.D., what they can say and do. Heil Magic Castle Da...

Liderc

Like has been stated above me, this is "The MAGIC Castle" and should be as such. there is no need for Cabaret shows or any Non Magic Events. except maybe once and a while for a special occasion type thing, but other then that there shouldn't be any Non Magic Events. I Concur With John. it'...

Liderc

As for the Cabarets, very few members actually attend. It is more of guests and friends of the performer. More time, money, and energy is spent on these shows than on magic. In 18 months we will have a new election for the B.O.D.. There are members that plan on running who have a great chance of be...

Liderc

Because Spectators are not stupid, and it's easy to back track and say he must have looked at it, some how he had to of. maybe they don't know when or how but still the conclusion they come up with.

I guess really thinking about it, you could say the same for any drawing duplication

Three Cheers!!!!!

Liderc

The sad part is, we have to discuss this on outside forums..

Liderc

I'm not saying the music is bad. I'm saying putting all your attention into bringing in more money with non related magic shows, which is whats going on now. like i said it seems like it's becoming more and more how to make money and less about magic. i know a couple of others who feel the exact sam...

Liderc

I Concur on the fact that there is Magic all week long. but that's how it's always been, the scheduled performers. all I'm saying as of late it seems like more focus and attention is being put on non magic shows and ways to raise more money, instead of focusing on the Magic and Members. as they say ...

Liderc

I've never been a fan of Drawing Duplications where you had them write on a business card, and then kept that card in the pack as you write yours.

Liderc

I can't help but Agree with Milt.

The Castle should be about Magic, I've noticed it's been getting more and more cabaret acts, and a lot of non focused magic. also I've noticed everything is becoming more about power and money.
