No argument that there are some nutcases around. I'll not disagree with that. On the other hand, there are those in the bizarre community who claim to be using demons or witchcraft to assist whatever trick they are doing. And, there are those bizrrarists who insist that our bizarre magic - MAGIC as in TRICK or ILLUSION - is real. So, it cuts both ways. Unfortunately.

I tell people I once made a piano player disappear. She said if I did one more magic trick she was gone. I did and she was.

I am familiar with this kook on youtube that thinks magic is accomplished through demons....please do compare this to Chrisianity, these views are excessive and not the norm. Most, I would venture to say the vast majority of Christian accept our art with no problem. Every church I have been a member of has accepted my magic and repeatedly hired me for the youth groups, etc. Any reasoble person with a brain in his head considers "magic" to be nothing more than a clever art hopefully performed by a clever entertainer.

Hang on, these guys are using demons to perform impossible feats of magic? And here I have been practicing hours and hours like a chump. Where can I get myself one of these handy demonic assistants?

Sir, you'll have to ask them - but that is what I've heard 2 bizarrists claim.

The two Mormon missionaries who visit my house every week seem awfully fascinated by the Ouija board on display on my fireplace mantel.
"Do you actually use that?" one asked. "Yes, for my séance act," I replied. I wonder if they will return next week?

Whenever I see some religious group or other knocking on my door wanting to give me a pamphlet, I answer the door with "hail satan" and smile broadly...then I ask them about dinosaurs...they are usually keen to leave me alone...

The Demons used to be great but then they joined the union and it's been down hill ever since. So hard to get good minions these days.

About two years ago I moved from the northeast US to North Carolina. People here are, by and large, more religious than people up north. I have been very slow and careful in sharing my interest. I spent time in Arkansas in the '80s and it's not quite the same today, but I'm careful not to make myself a bad name. There are lots of people I've met who love to see a little something mysterious, but there are others who see hypnotism and spoon bending as flat out demonic. I am a Scout Master in my son's troop and the other kids parents trust me to take their kids on trips that sometimes may be dangerous. I don't do anything to erode their confidence in me in any way. We meet at a Southern Baptist church. I don't rock the boat. I don't perform professionally so it's not a problem for me to avoid ticking off the more.... enthusiastic faithful. While most Christians I know see magic as illusion, mentalism and mysterious presentation can be a dog whistle to some people. Some people really do think it's playing with forces beyond our grasp.
At least they don't think it's fake. |

Thanks for posting all those videos. It's good and I think important to grasp what people may think of a presentation, even if it's negative and a little bit off the beaten path.
