@kewlbreez77 Cavett writes a blog for the New York Times that includes video. I think that I heard him tell this story in that blog.

Great music from a superb musician, lovely person, patient teacher, and one of the greatest ambassadors for traditional Irish music.

Laughter is the best medicine but sometimes you need Dr. Ho. Glad you're still here to keep us laughing.

Where can I buy that bag of sand? Has it been released? I had me totally fooled! That bag of sand is a real game changer! I have to have it! Mark Mason has come up with another winner!!!

Nice show, but more important: Who is that woman that walks behind the couch at 14:02?

John Bannon walking by in the background at 29:48!

Very cool that you brought In Chris Ballinger who is basically one of your competitors.

Great show guys!

I can't wait for you to review Garrett Thomas's Stand Up Monte. Her blew you all (and me) away at Blackpool with it!

Dear Rick the Hick:

Fix your f*cking tie, you pathetic, Bible thumping rube. We need God's help to protect us from frauds like you. My grandfather always said never trust a man who quotes poetry or the Bible. Read the Constitution. Freedom of Religion includes freedom FROM religion.

@Dave: You got four cheese slices but I would have awarded you a wheel of Emmenthaler! High cheese! A gallon of fondue for you!

@Craig: People vote with Dave because they love taking the piss out of you. When Dave is being an outrageous pinhead, try agreeing with him and drive him nuts.

@Blammo. ...

I happen to own a blind monkey and he loved the Instant Card Restoration.

Earth to Walsh: The debt crisis came from three sources. The Bush tax cuts, which had no offsetting cuts. The war of choice in Iraq, funded by supplements to the budget and debt sold to the Chinese. And a financial meltdown caused by a lack of sensible regulation in the financial markets. Obama ...

The Homing Card is so lovely. You can see the direct connection in Kaps's stage persona to Tommy Wonder. The bemused magician, seemingly not in full control of his trick, as perplexed as his audience is amazed. Same with Cardini in a way. All the skill tempered with humility and humor.

Your review of Daniel Cros was heartfelt because as Garrett Thomas said, magic is a way of connecting with people and clearly, Mr. Cros loves magic and that came across to you. Loving what you do makes a big difference for the spectator's experience. As for the examinability issue, there are a lo...

WC Fields said never do a scene with a child or a dog. The puppy is upstaging you guys. I watched Blammo the whole time. Plus he doesn't look interested enough in the reviews. Pay off his contract and show him the road! And keep an eye on Matthew or in a year it might be the Matthew and Blammo S...

David & Craig: I'm okay with your reviews that are negative about poor products. Generally I think that if there's anything at all positive about a product, you find a way to say it. But I think that the personal attacks on another performer aren't relevant to your product reviews. I didn't like...

Guys, you put up the products from the previous week at the beginning of this week's show. That aside, another good show. But here's a bit of advice: drop the vendettas with other magicians. It adds nothing and gives them more attention than they merit. And it detracts from the overall positive a...

Your show has added immeasurably to my enjoyment of magic, so Happy Birthday indeed. My favorite moment - and there were many great ones - was the Blackpool Convention. The drinking, the interviews, and the camaraderie with other magicians made for a great show and some really magical moments. St...

Nicely done, gentlemen! Smashing threads, Craig. Dave, your manners are improving!

These comments confirm his message.

Damned fine performance Craig! 95%!

RIP Steve.

I vote for Pocket Change as having the most potential for a great reaction from your audience. Note to Craig and David: It would really be helpful if you'd rate the level of expertise necessary to perform each trick. Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert. For instance, Rune Klan's DVD's are wonderful...

Okay, boys, it's getting a bit squabble-y on the product review.

This product review once again reveals Dave's and Craig's different points of view. Their arguments over the value of a trick are helpful in allowing your loyal viewers to make up their own minds as well as being enormously entertaining. I should add that I bought Red Mirror and was dismayed not ...

Very good instruction. Clearly articulated. Very helpful.

Disturbing, sad, and soon to be yet another celebrity death that the entertainment media can tut-tut about when they are, in fact, complicit in what will probably be poor Charlie's demise. Anyone who can look at hi as he is now and say he's having fun and living life to the fullest is an idiot.

Poor Sarah!

You two continue to be a breath of fresh air in the over-hyped world of new magic effects. Thanks for reducing the noise and bringing some sense to things. Here's a suggestion and forgive me if you've already done this. I'd be interested to know which four books (or DVDs) each of you found indisp...
