It is tough to blame the network producer.  They need to bring the project in under budget. A story from Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles is easier and less expensive to produce than one from, say, Scranton, Pennsylvania.  

So, given the choice between two comparable stories, the twenty-something producer will cover his or her bacon by shooting the story in the major media market.  

This economic bias is exactly why we are impressed with Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brooks.  Despite the fact that their Houdini Museum is not within a top-three market, their work and the museum are frequently featured in world-wide television coverage.

He tours constantly and when he's not on the road, he's planning or rehearsing for the next leg of his never-ending world-tour. 

We often wondered how he kept up the pace.  How he stayed perpetually young.  We also had questions about how he does that trick where he lasers off half his body and walks down a platform. 

We have answered one of the two questions.

According to the very reliable Australian Broadcast Company's news feed, Mr. Copperfield has found "The Fountain of Youth." 

Long time ago, a wise man once told me "...pat your hand near his crotch, then pull it out!!"

I later realized that he was referring to how to lift a man's wallet from his back pocket whilst applying the necessary distraction. Since then,

I've been picking pockets, stealing watches and lifting jewelry like a bad habit, but then again - that's my job."

If we had the talent or the imagination, we could be better than Nathan "Nate" Kranzo. 

But we don't even have the talent to imagine what we would be like if we had his talent and imagination.  Moreover, we have no energy – at least not in comparison to Mr. Kranzo.

Mr. Kranzo updates his site constantly.  And it's updated with material you might actually want to read, download, or buy. 

Unlike that dry spell that hit Quinlan's Inside Magic in the late-1940s and we just updated our site with jokes we stole from the Dixie Cup Company.
