I just saw the Masked Magician's Myspace page:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus......05231791 He has a ton of magicians listed as friends including: Penn & Teller (not surprising) Sigfried & Roy Michael Finney Chriss Angel David Copperfield Amazing Johnathan Whit Haydn What's up with that? Is a Myspace friend different from a friend? I really don't know.

"Not I" said the cat.
Anyway, he may list them as friends, but it may be wishful thinking on his part, eh?

Don't Myspace friends have to mutually agree?

Have you seen that "Harry" (Houdini) is also part of the
friends' list? That makes it look like the photos are just posted without asking for permission (or even "friendship"). |

What an idiot.
Anyway, I think most of those myspace pages for Criss Angel, Copperfield and the likes are just taken care of by their assistants. (Accept all friends most likely). I have to laugh at his 'occupation' "Master magician and illusionist." Now...don't you mean "Master person who searches up methods to effects then exposes them on national TV for a cheap buck " ? Surely, that's one hell of a typo. And we all know what he looks like now so...I do wish he'd take off his mask, so I could punch him in the face. /agression

Anyone can open a MySpace account, and put any name and avatar they want. Go to MySpace and do a search for "Stephen Colbert," for example, and you will find hundreds of people by that name, and I even saw one that ONLY had top friends listed that were also named Stephen Colbert. Apparently, this is not a violation of MySpace TOS unless you claim to actually be the OFFICIAL site of a celebrity, and even then that is iffy, since the celebrity or person in question has to file the complaint. There are many people who have assumed the profiles of inantimate objects, like "Marijuana," who has their top friends listed as "Bong," "Rolling Papers" etc.. Also, look again at the "friends" of "The Masked Magician" and you will see such users as "David" with a picture of David Copperfield, yet it doesn't claim to be the OFFICIAL David Copperfield MySpace account. Never judge a book by it's cover, or a MySpace account by it's avatar or username. I would be willing to bet that the Masked Magician is not, in fact Val Valentino, but is in fact a poseur or fan (or both).

Marvelo, I'm pretty sure that is the masked magicians account. I was sent there from an article I was reading about him. Most of the magician links look legit. But Sigfried and Roy's page mentions their career has been in "the crapper" since Roy's attack. And Whit's legit page has 156 pages of friends, so who knows.
Good points!

It is a fact that you can create any name and account you wish with my space. All you have to do is create it. It does not matter whom you are. My space has no policy about it.

Yeah Penn Jillette's myspace page isn't under the name Penn, Penn Jillette or Penn and Teller. Actually Penn no longer uses myspace anymore.

Somebody asks me to do a TV show for large dirty money...I'm sellin' all your ***** down the river...no mask either...maybe for drama one of those voice changers and a shadow shot...but I'll do what he did (almost)...give away obsolete methods and unworkable (real world) solutions and do them real crappy...following this the REAL tv show would be filmed about how not a soul two weeks later would remember the method or the trick solution...either way I'm on a Cruise. I'll eMail.

As opposed to $35 or $400, which somehow makes it legit.
