Allright, first things first, there's certainly a difference between magic and illusion, magic sounds stupid, something that we cant really relate to reality, whereby illusion sounds decent enough, seems real.

And so i got hold of this DVD titled David Arumugam Copperfield - Illusion - 15 years of rock jiwang Magic, and i have to tell you it was amazing. There was a few tricks that really blew my mind away, like :-

• The Oriental Express Mystery - He stood, the train levitated like some 20 feet above the ground..covered with a huge huge cloth of course, then he pulled the cloth, woosh! it was gone.
  
• The Statue of Mawi Liberty Disappears - The title explains so much, right. It wasnt there for a moment, im not sure how true this was, apparently it was one of his most remarkable illusion in the 90's
• Walking through the Great Wall of China - Yeah, you guessed it genius. He walked right across it, somethings really fishy, but the what the fuck, its fun to watch
• Random Bunny - Pulls out a rabbit or other random material like a fishing rod out of random spectator's arse. Allright, just kidding.

It was amazing nevertheless, i dont really care if he really posseses some supernatural soul sold to devil power, which i strongly believe he doesnt, let it be tricks and technology, but he certainly made the difference by doing all the tricks and we just watch in amazement. All we can say is " Thats bullshit, he uses the devil" Right, the devil, what the fuck, really, there was this rumours in the 90's, where people strongly believed that he could pull all the massive magic stunts just because he sold his soul to the devil. Which idiot said this, i do not know.

Im sure there are ways of doing this illusions, afterall its an artform, erroneous perception of reality. The diversion is made so carefully, so that any of us (the idiots) wouldnt realize it. I read an article, it said anyone cal do illusions and tricks, but getting away without getting caught, thats the tough part, these mofo's have the talents, and theyre filthy rich, like the other dude, David Blaine, sheesh whats with magicians and the name David? Hmm..

So, i think its true that magicians are just a bunch of great mind manipulators, unless you beg to differ, tell me what you think. :) They are people with great talents, they have my respect.

Here's an article that proves the world has endless amouth of stupid fuckholes supply, this dude reveals the truth behind the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS. This the stupidest thing i have ever read. Really.

Anyway here's a complimentary photo that i manipulated, the David & David collaboration. I can get really bored you know.

Weee!

Out!
