  Snif, snif, smells like something mechanical rather than magic, I say...

  It's coming straight out his sleeve.

  
  

  Also, I think Harry's seeing a family resemblance.

    That theory would also surprise me, given their profiles, even allowing for makeup ^_^;;

    Seconded!

  Sid said he likes the 'fake' magic better than actual mage stuff so it would surprise me if this show wasn't smoke and mirrors.

  
  

  As for whats 'wrong,' ether this guy is as Asian as California Rolls (mysteries of the orient has always been a draw) or there is something wrong with the way he's moving.

  Old guy's a doll. The chick is the real magician, and really a dude in drag.

    I approve of this theory.

      It's in the name. Look up "Chung Ling Soo." BIG "Chinese" magician in London about this time.

  Depends on the stage magic, Kate... As an amateur illusionist, amongst other things, I'd find BOTH types of magic very fascinating. >;-D

  A reference to the orange tree trick in "The Illusionist"?

  • SoItBegins 13 years ago archived

    Oh man, I saw 'The Illusionist'. Only film ever to make me pick a different person as the protagonist in the last 15 minutes.

    • Wyvern 13 years ago archived

      Do you mean Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti's character)?

      • SoItBegins 13 years ago archived

        Yeah, HE was the protagonist. I have no idea what Eisenstein was.

        • Ed Rhodes 6 years ago archived

          Eisenstein was trying to take care of himself and get the girl away from the creepy abuser. Everything else was just happenstance.

    Moreso to the original Houdin trick! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Eug%C3%A8ne_Robert-Houdin#The_Marvelous_Orange_Tree "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Eug%C3%A8ne_Robert-Houdin#The_Marvelous_Orange_Tree")

    
    

    I liked The Illusionist a lot apart from the actually magic part. That kinda ruined it for me, I was having fun trying to work out an actual method for the trick :(
