Knowing you and your amigos, I daren't imagine, Spamfritter. Darius had better pray you never get powers. He wouldn't be able to politely refuse to do some of the things you've suggested he might, when you've got your cameras rolling and you're recording him for posterity.

Poor D. But he does try to please.

He makes us laugh. It's the look opn his face. We don't need magic, we can upset him anyway.

We could always use one of the newly-invented invisible cloaks that I've been reading about in the New Scientist, using the new

metamaterials which, by adjusting the refractive index, divert photons round the solid. By thus controlling the path of light an

invisible cloak is created.

Who needs magic when we can become invisible for real. Just think of the possibilities..............

But when you slip and tread on people's toes, they still guess that you are there.

I wonder if that was how David Blaine made the aeroplane disappear. Can't be, too long ago.

I've always suspected that he used mirrors or screens with huge projected images. I would love to know how he did it.

He's another one who could be wearing an invisibility cloak,my eyes slide off him. He's really never done anything to interest me.
No competition for Paul Daniels then ? (Can't stand the man myself).
David Blaine always seems to me to be on/from another planet so he may well have had the technology already.

Nasty as this is, if he is, please can he go back. He could take Paul Daniels with him if he wanted.

I preferred David Copperfield. He used to do a lot of the big spectacular stunts too and I never could understand how he worked the illusions.

I've never really appreciated magicians - probably because I dismissed them as fake before they started and sowasn't interested in what or how they did things.
Maybe the disappearing aeroplane stunt was David Copperfield, not David Blaine. Now I'm confused.

Did you ever see the masked magician on TV who revealed exactly how a lot of the most famous illusions are done?

Can't remember him, BT. Maybe it was on Scottish TV. Our programmes are often different.

Bet he was really popular with the Magicians Circle !

I know they often use contortionists, and also identical twins.

No switching off for me when it's Merlin. I love the idea of unicorns.

Even dead ones? I've taped it for Dave. i'll have to watch it when he comes back so I'm not watching it before.
Mind you, unicorns are supposed to be pure white, but there was a reason for the stripes.
