He obviously spent the 400 dollars for the effects artist to make his shoelaces levitate.

I kind of feel like anyone who is dumb enough to give money to a 12-year old kid with no history of ever doing anything in magic deserves what they get.
I realize that's a bit of "blaming the victim," but come on, use your head. |

Well "Magicsquared", according to Alex he has a long history of performing magic. He "IS" ( to him self atleast ) labeled the youngest magician in America. Check out his official site, he is even shown in these pictures doing shows............. http://www.Alexmagiclive.com.

They show someone standing in an area where people are gathered around. His "Testimonials" are hysterical. One is from some guy in a no-name band (presumably a friend) one is from "UPS" (the whole company?) the other is from "Seaport, NY" (huh?) and the last one is from "The President of JCH" (What is JCH? Beats the crap out of me.) The one from "Seaport, NY" is so obviously fake it doesn't even make logical sense. Two places on that site he claims to be the "Youngest Profesional Magician in America." Not so professional that he would actually spell "professional" correctly, it seems. I don't believe there is someone older guiding this. If there was it wouldn't all be so clearly bogus. I think the mastermind is probably someone even younger and dumber. Maybe a five-year-old. |

Magicsquared: LOL!!,, I had a lot of fun with that site as well. You forgot to mention this testimonial ( well you did , just not what was said )... "Houdini has nothing on you"
-Alex Lovanov [President of JCH]. LOL!!!.. One of the funniest testimonials I have ever read, and this is claimed to have been said to a 12 year old!!......'PIZ' |

He's a cute kid. If he's for real he could be working toward a promising future by practicing his art and taking the high road instead of a future of trying to stay a step ahead of an angry bunch of customers by trying to make a quick buck. For the kids sake, I hope it's not too late.

Yeah,
Someone needs to step in for this kid but who ? He does not hold very good views of professional magicians. Alex, if you're reading this thread you can learn sooo much from it. if you're good at it, you can make money(and name) just by performing. |

In the youtube video his image while talking was almost whited out, was this intentional? Also why wasn't his hat on straight and if he is going to put so much stuff in his hair why wear a hat at all? The worse part is he may, some day, be a top gun in magic yet he is leaving all this horrible evidence behind that could come back and bite him in 15 years.

I have seen video of Alex working with cards, and to tell you all the truth, he is absolutely brilliant with his hand work. Alex has a load of talent, he just needs to use his brain with his tallent. He already stated that all he is trying to do with this money is pay for his sisters to get into college. Weather this is true or not who knows, if it is the kid has a big hart, but thievery is not the way to go in order to achieve this. He has other effects he can sell to make the money he needs. If he is even a bit serious about one day becoming a great, respected magician the first road to this is honesty, and someone needs to teach him this. Alex needs to take this X levi off his site and stop selling it. All the originator of this levi "IS" waiting for is confirmation that the X levi did actually ship, and if it did or does, Alex will just have to learn how to respect his peers ( and the magic community ) the hard way, and that lesson in respect will come in the form of a court room. Alex is playing with fire, and I really hope he makes the right decision and throws some water of that fire before it comes back and burns him ( Possibly for life ).......'PIZ'

Fast Forward....
2010 Americas youngest magical fraudster proudly presents The Z Levitation. Don't let his youth or years in boys prison fool you. He has not wasted money on a cameraman for this effect but here are two line drawings. You will notice in the first drawing he is on the ground - that's him - the stick figure, with the smiley face. And in the second drawing he is in the tree. Be the first to order - you will recieve your full set of drawings and the gimmick in 3 or 4 (maybe 6) months. To any doubters I must insist that the gimmick is entirely my idea and noone ever thought of an appearing ladder out of a paper bag before. The Z Levitation - get it today (well pay for it today - who knows when you'll get it) |

L.S.I. has a name and it is none of those floating around. We have been given lots of information in fact. We will keep things confidential in a public forum. Though legal avenues are being pursed we will just have to wait and see.
Just noticed that the X shipping date keeps being pushed forward says Sunday Nov 5 now. I know in Canada the post offices are not open on Sundays. Well lets wait to see if the date is pushed forward again? Any bets? As for feeling sorry for Alex? He knows what the right thing to do is. He may make a quick buck now. The price he pays down the road will be high. He can always pull this levi from his site and do the right thing. This is supposed to be a brotherhood and we take care of our own. magicmike30

Couple of days have passed after the proposed shipment date.
Mike, Does the L.S.I know if any have gone in the post ?? |

Well L.S.I. did not order a copy of this levitation. We do however wonder why the video demo still is not up on Alex's site? We do put our levi money that when it does come back it will be missing that amazing first levi with the animated shoelaces.
L.S.I. is making a great announcement today and it is of all things a new levi;) Any customers of the X reading? Let us know if you have gotten anything from Ax? magicmike30
