With all his talk of blackpool and buying every trick ever created do you know of anyone who admits to ever having met him?
I've been told by a couple of people seemingly in the know that he was fake. If he was setting up charities I hope I'm wrong. The mods should let it be known whether he was banned for being fake or just because he was completely insufferable. |

Live in the U.S. Some day my occasional journeys to the U.K will coincide with the Blackpool event. Until then, I can only envy those of you lucky enough to attend...

Not gonna lie, the Jamie/Karl thing has been one of the most enjoyable parts of this community in the past. I mean c'mon, it was pretty funny.

There was also a guy that came on here and managed to mention “when I was a dealer “ in every single post I thought he might have been a Jamie/ Karl incarnation

The Blackpool Magic Convention Facebook page says there's a 'no bag' rule this year. All bags need to be handed in at reception and collected on the way out. That's a pain, how are people meant to carry their purchases?

But, how do you find those 10 (number just as example) I had the '10' perfect effects two years ago, but new things come along, which I love to take a look at for many reasons. I add new material which I think is stronger and remove the weaker ones. The aim is to eventually have a perfect set for me, which will never happen. As I develop my skills, be it performance or dexterity or memory or whatever it may be, I need to develop my material. I strive to grow and by not looking at any other material and if I was still doing the same material as two years ago, I would have grown 'to a point' of perhaps perfecting those effects...but I'm always looking to go beyond that. I'm a magic junkie and love to look at new material, but now, I have grown enough to recognise when I feel an effect is good for me to watch and never perform, when it will add something to my act or when I just need to forget it exists. I LOVE fork bending, especially watching Kieron Johnson doing it...i'd love to add it to my act, but I don't feel ready for it yet, it's not suiting me as yet, but one day it may, or one day it may not, perhaps I'll always just love watching it. I'm not ruling it out as part of future development. Finding new material is essential for true growth. Some effects I learn a new move, maybe even a new phrase - not the effect but other elements that support the effect, which I may have never learnt if I ignored the effect. But don't get caught up in buying every new release and never learning or perfecting anything. |

I've never mentioned this before because I prefer to believe but Karl M posted what I consider to be the most under-rated post ever in a thread about, IIRC, SansMinds releasing Flaming Coffee - the discussion goes into the the reliability of SansMind releases, and the potentially dangerous nature of the trick. Karl M snipes in: "Looks like someone's going to get their fingers burnt."
Karl, whoever you are, wherever you are, that's solid gold. It was all worth it. Come back, we love you. Phill

Is it true......was Karl M a fake account ?? No-one could invent a character like that. His posts have kept me amused many a long evening. Him and PRINCE !! Come to think of it, havn't seen PRINCE posting for a long while either.
