David Blaine interviewed by CBC

From the April 1st article "David Blaine gets his mind blown by magic too" by Vivian Rashotte at the CBC:  

He's been buried alive, trapped in ice and suspended in the air while sealed inside a box for 44 days. But in his new series, Do Not Attempt, Blaine is the one who's left speechless as he travels the globe taking in extraordinary feats by some of the world's greatest masters.

"It's an amazing chance to highlight these performers or these experts," Blaine tells Q's Tom Power in an interview. "Being able to meet the most incredible people that have worked for thousands of hours on these skills that are, to me, as close to magic as it gets because they've put the invisible work in — the countless thousands of hours to be able to do this thing that shouldn't be possible."

Introducing the Demotivational Magician Showcase

We've been at this for over 14 years and cannot stay quiet anymore.  The gloves are off.  We're naming names.  The evidence is compiled.  It is time to expose the people whose actions bring the community down.


Introducing the inaugural Demotivational Magician Showcase.


We'll be shining a spotlight on the unethical practices we've witnessed that are antithetical to building a community.  Examples include, but are not limited to:  knowingly misleading product representations, intellectual property theft, fake reviews, and grossly exaggerated accolades.

Worried that your name is going to be featured in the showcase?  It's not too late.  Smarten up and do better.

Regular readers will know that focusing on the negative is not what we do around here.  They should also know to check the date when they see a post that is out of character.  

Seriously though, check the date.  

If you were even remotely concerned your name would appear on such a list, however, do better.  That's no joke. 



[With thanks to Ryan Pilling for planting the seed by coming up with the showcase title!]
