Russian Roulette Illusion

21Feb09

Simon Drake’s take on this classic magical illusion. Much better than the Derren Browne version from a couple of years ago.

A clip from ‘The Secret Cabaret’ and a great example of the macabre illusions performed by Simon Drake on this old show. Ricky Jay also had a regular spot on this show.

05Jan08

This is just silly. So impossible you can’t believe it.

Check out his Chopper

04Dec07

What I want to know is, where does the little helicopter go? Thankfully, Franz made that mustache disappear later in his career.

Franz Harary cut in 7

01Oct07

Now, Franz Harary is pure cheese but, a great illusionist. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him perform an unoriginal illusion.

Ping Pong

20May07

Not strictly magic, but very clever and entertaining none the less. I suppose it does use ‘black art’ which is a magical technique, but there is no effort to hide it!

Eugene Berger presents the Gypsy Thread (isn’t that what this magic effect is called?) in his own inimitable style. I’d love to see Mr Burger perform in person. I’ve often wondered how his style of performing magic would go down with a normal audience.

- Revenge on Roger Stone
  Political operative Roger Stone has been found guilty of federal crimes and now awaits sentencing. If you’ve already forgotten what he was found guilt of, here’s the list: He was found guilty on November 15 of obstructing the congressional probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

- UFOs ‘were always there’ …
  During the mid 1990s, director William Gazecki gave me a video that showed flying objects called “air rods” or “flying rods” or “sky fish.” Their presence was an unexplained phenomena and still is, so far as I know. The existence of the “rods” had been verified by others qualified to do so. Skeptics also admitted […] The post UFOs ‘were always there’ … appe […]
- What Beto Said …
  First published Firing Line magazine November/December 2019 By Dan Gifford The good part of what Democrat presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said is that after more than 50 years of weasel words and outright denials, a politician on the national stage has partially pulled the confiscation cat out of the bag. The bad part is that […] The post What Beto Said […]
- When the Modern Gun Control Movement Started
  First published Firing Line magazine September / October 2019 By Dan Gifford That date was November 22, 1963. It’s not only a date those aware of the world at the time remember, they also remember where they were on hearing the news that President John F. Kennedy had been murdered. I was in French class […] The post When the Modern Gun Control Movement Start […]
- “We choose truth over facts!”
  First published Firing Line November/December 2019 issue By Dan Gifford Perhaps the most frustrating part of writing an article about Second Amendment “gun control” issues is that the subject is thoroughly plowed ground. There is nothing new save the new faces mouthing the same well known discredited “truths.” You know them: A study proved a […] The post “We […]
