The Nine

Double post. Can't work BBC or quote/edit functions today apparently.

Why'd you have to go and post ICP? 
Is it for being groundbreaking in the genre of INCEL rap or for also being full of shit?

Apart from the unnecessary posting of that, (again, why?) I prefer Penn Jillette. He is the magician-skeptic no one really listens to, but is always right. He carries on the Houdini tradition of calling bullshit on charlatans that cross the line of false-prophethood or use camera editing along those lines.

And Uri is one of those, I believe.

Here's one for the massholes.




Cris Angel is also in that school of more BS than usual, where part of the act, and edited film, is taking so seriously it becomes "swindles done on TV" as opposed to magic. 

The good illusionists tend to shy away from actually proclaiming themselves mystical in any way. And still blow your mind.

• I want you to think of a two digit number between 1 and 100. 
• But both of them have to be an odd number
• and both of them have to be different numbers.
• 11 is not a valid number. 

Concentrate on that number for 15 seconds and click...

Have I guessed your number?

Kreskin who popularized this mentalist trick, had surprisingly higher odds than 1/20 in guessing correctly.

Only slightly relevant but Star Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry seemed to be all about this Council of Nine stuff and rubbed shoulders with Uri Geller at some point.

Uri Geller? Really? 

Just a magician pretending to be psychic, a sharliton,  a mystic.  

This is just one random video I found. How many more do you want?

It was specifically for you.....here is another

That doc is the CIA tests done on geller.  The grapes is impossible to deny.  They are practically identical.

I wouldn't say complete charlatan, but somebody with a few gifts and no strong ability to control them at will.  That and a "magician" with all of the usual tricks learned by the trade.

I haven't heard that song in years.. which is infinitely better than ICP, mind you. Don't take it personal, perhaps it was all their mystical "dark carnival" wanna-be cthulu mythos crap that is all somewhat hokie?

Lacking access to your thoughts I'm still having trouble connecting the two songs.  Wouldn't the gangster clowns be the "two little pigs?" Though that's pretty apt for those two. 

 So heres a Powerwolf song about demons in response...
...since we are dedicating songs to pigs and things are getting poltergeist-like.

It's not intended to smack anyone in the head...

Showmanship is required, comes with the territory. Why wouldn't he have fun in any case, he is cursed just like me and everyone else..
