It was announced at The Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas last week that Banachek will take control of the James Randi Educational Foundation’s Million Dollar Challenge which offers the big money bounty to anyone who can reproduce psychic or supernatural phenomenon under scientific test conditions. In our humble opinion, this is very much for the best and we congratulate Banachek and the JREF.
In the interest of full disclosure, the publisher of this site once held the role that Banachek has now assumed and the editor of iTricks was once and intern at the JREF.
How should Derren Brown handle the “magic fail” label? Would you work at Todd Robbins’ Fun House? Is a network TV tame Barry and Stuart the Barry and Stuart we want to see? How do momentary lapses in memory help a magician make their living?
Most weekdays we have one of our iTricks.TV Staff members select one of the recently uploaded videos, post it here on the front page and explain why it’s awesome.

Today, the staff member is Dezrah and the video is Banachek Rocks Martin Sargent…
“Here’s an oldie but goodie in honor of the upcoming release of Banachek’s “Psychological Subtleties 3″. Banachek visits the set of Martin Sargeant’s “Unscrewed” from Tech TV and reads co-host Laura Swisher’s mind.”
This video is only one of nearly 2,000 available at the newly revamped iTricks.TV.

Was Keith Barry’s comment about women in magic sexist? Is it cool to paint your chicks? Are David Blaine and Ellen the future of street magic? Who will be the next magician on the Forbes Celebrity 100?
We get all political when Penn and Teller aren’t able to perform the Bullet Catch on the East Coast. Who is the greatest living mind in magic? When is it cool to give your audience the middle finger? Much MORE!
Sure, Penn Jillette’s vlog Penn Says lets him say anything he darn well pleases but rarely does the larger, louder half of P&T lapse into magic geekery. Which makes this clip all the more special as Penn lists the greatest thinkers in our art, past and present.
This all comes as he’s plugging the James Randi Educational Foundation’s Amazing Meeting this July in Las Vegas when Banacheck will be on hand to test a “psychic” who is contending for the famous Million Dollar Challenge… live on stage.
