Mike Giusti has talked about it on his Magic Broadcast show, he’s carped about it in our comment section, we wouldn’t be surprised if he doodles cartoons on restaurant napkins about it. But that will soon be in the past.
Finally, Phenomenon’s Guy Bavli has escaped NBC’s press blackout and be the guest on Giusti’s next Mike On The Mic Show Tuesday, December 4th at 6:00 PM PST (9 p.m. EST).

As Andrew Mayne suggested, release the tigers!
Although the city of Las Vegas has foolishly passed on Mr. Mayne’s suggestion to add a “Running Of The Bengals” element to tomorrow’s 5k Santa Run, Siegfried and Roy will still be on hand to marshall the event.
Good luck to all Saint Nick’s.
In the newest episode of The Amazing Show, Randi talks about his time on the road with Alice Cooper, where he chopped the Rock God’s head off nightly in front of a rabid crowd.

Above is a real YouTube find featuring Randi as a demented dentist, one of his characters on the tour, choking Cooper and stepping on his family jewels all the while a gigantic tooth runs ramshackle through the streets. No foolin’.
In an interview with Houdini Museum director Dick Brooks, Uri Geller says that he could have psychically ascertained the contents of Criss Angel’s envelope (an index card with 911 written on it) if the A&E star wouldn’t have cut him off on the season finale of Phenomenon.
Geller said, “I don’t know what happened. When Criss Angel challenged me, I suddenly started blurting out dates. It was not rehearsed. Why dates? I have no idea why I did it till now. That’s how these things happen to me. The dates or numbers I started to blurt out were 1, 19 which reversed is 911. I also said the numbers 20 and 1, which is close to 2001. What are the odds of that?…”
“Maybe if he would not have jumped in and cut me short, I would have zeroed in not only on 911, but the whole year 2001…”
Geller goes on to say that his words would have been considered “hits” in a laboratory setting.
