Oh, c'mon, folks know the Jerx is going to be satirical with a headline like that.

"Andy" seems like a nice guy, but I lost interest with his blog (and general take on magic) years ago. The "outrageous" or funny stuff seems pretty pro-forma at this point.

I wish him continued success, but it's all kinda much "more of the same stuff I'm not super interested in" now.

Brad thinks it's funny, and he's right.
You think it isn't, and you're right.
Opinions (as long as they're not facts masquerading as opinions) can never be wrong. They can perhaps be defended to a greater or lesser degree, but an opinion is just a preference.

In my opinion, liver is awful, with or without a good chianti.
Effect and method are inextricably linked.

Well, I suppose census takers are safe at your house...now that you've tried it.

The guys at The Disclaimer we’re onto this before Andy, even though the blog post took a bit too long to be first.

https://ko-fi.com/post/Whelp-Ellusionist-is-done-E1E482M74

And, we followed up with the Jumbo vanishing watch, which Andy hasn’t figured out yet.

We think it’s funny.

And where it’s not funny, it’s because it’s sad.

Magic “wearables” are a thing. It’s only a matter of time before someone (likely The Disclaimer) advertises a watch that reminds you which of the “any numbers” you can actually use with your Quantum Deck.
