Just watching the repeats of his shows on Channel 4. Was it a complete
coincidence that Lindsey Dawn Mackenzie was one of the girls in that
glass-shattering *trick*? Or does the phrase *hired-help* spring to mind?

The problem with Blaine is he cheats a lot. By cheat I mean he doesn't
show complete sections of film that clearly give away the technique.

For example, asking someone to write something down and then he sets
fire to it and reveals the name etched on his body.

I won't explain it here, but if you've watched any of those "masked
magician" type programs, they clearly show how it is done.

A good magician doesn't need to go to those lengths, cutting complete
scenes out is the same as camera tricks in my book.
