It'll probably take penn and teller 15 minutes to debunk him.

"With so many problems in the world today, people enjoy fantasy because, if only for a little while, it turns their attention away from all that's wrong."

This explains why Kerry is doing so well in Oregon.

Yeah, but I prefer the guy who stayed in the plexiglass box above the thames river, while the brits threw rocks, eggs and insults at the loser. That was a good trick.

I remember seeing Andre Kole (thought it was "Cole", but maybe not) live about 20 years ago. Thought it was really cool, but of course I was 9 years old at the time....

Debunk what? He admits that his levitation is a trick, an illusion and is not in any way supernatural.

Read carefully...he pretty much debunked himself. He describes himself as an "illusionist", freely stating that there's nothing supernatural or metaphysical going on, just carefully planned and orchestrated illusions.

That seems to be kinda slow don'tcha think since Kole admits his stuff is illusions, etc. He's not pulling any punches.....

I saw one of those "magic explained" shows a few years ago and they offered an explanation for these.

I vaguely remember that the Wash. Mnmt. trick had to do with a slowly rotating audience platform with an arch at the front. But I never figured out the jet trick.
