I've been doing magic seriously for 10 years or so. The Mindfreak series is interesting. For those of you who like it, I invite you to do your research a UK illusionnist called Derren Brown. Angel and Brown work with the same magic consultants, among which Banacek and Luke Jermay (Google + Youtube the names). No need for anything more than trickery for Angel's performances. Look ad the old Copperfield videos, read Magic for Dummies, this should give you guys a few pointers. I have a thing about Angel, as he is very likely to use stooges for some of his effects. On the other hand, he's got some original, never seen before stuff that is pretty enjoyable. bGk
