It really does amaze me when I browse the pages of this group. You
people are a nightmare, you really are vultures circling high up,
frequently swooping down to pick at or dismantle a performer and his
effects. I Have a feeling that if you spent as much time and energy at
an educational establishment such as a college or university you would
be very clever people. However I think it is safe to say that you will
never be truly rewarded by your efforts. Most of you spend too much
time her in cyber land instead of going out and mixing with real
people, I see you all as sad individuals who's ignorance will lead
only to destroy that which others hold so close to their hearts.
"It doesn't matter what performance level you're at. It doesn't matter
if magic is your hobby, your past time, your passion or your career.
If you treat your audience, and your art, with such dignity and
respect that others can't wait to see more magic, then your own
purposes – whatever they may be, will be better served than any other
way. Only perform quality, well-rehearsed material, and treat every
audience member with the respect they deserve". Michael Ammar
THE CAREFUL BUILDER
I saw them tearing a building down - a gang of men, in my hometown.
With a heave, and a ho, and a 'yes, yes!' yell They swung a beam, and
a sidewall fell.
I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled? Like the ones you'd use
if you had to build?"
He laughed and said, "Oh, no! Indeed! The most common labor's all I
need. Because I can destroy, in a day or two, what it takes a builder
ten years to do."
And I thought to myself, as I went my way - Which of these roles am I
willing to play?
Am I one, who's tearing down, as I carelessly make my way around?
Or am I one who builds with care? So my family, my community, is just
a little better, because I was there.
For many of you this post will mean nothing, you will simply read on
and dismiss it. You may not even bat an eye at my comments. I urge you
to stop dismantling this man. Mr Brown is an excellent performer and
has worked exceptionally hard to be able to present his mind magic the
way he does. If any of you where magicians or mentalists who had
painstakingly built an amazing repertoire and some of your own
effects, I'm sure you would be appalled at any expose and plagiarist
groups like this one. A performance is such a personnel thing, for
someone to steal from it is like an attack on yourself, you may as
well break into Mr Browns house and steel his personal belongings.
I hear many of you say "hi I have been into NLP, hypnosis and magic
for five years" yet you still come in here and talk crap. The truth be
known If you had been into magic for five years you wouldn't post
stuff in here, well you would but only to poke fun at idiots.
So to the vultures and thieves, keep reading the NLP books I'm sure
they will make you very strong, powerful and not to mention
interesting
