well...
there´s is an ethics line
Teller (from penn and teller) calls them talentless scumbags
and i certainly agree..
when you are not good enought to be an entertaining performer.. you go and said you have real powers, paranormal or psychic powers.
this is a wrong thing to do, remember as a magician there´s ways to trick people, you can get information no other psychic could get and then use it in your favor.. if you do this as an effect saying you are a magician or mentalist.. i see no problem.. if you do this saying you are a psychic.. i do have a problem..
I dont remember the Psychic Entertainer author that mentions he even does ¨lectures by phone¨... which is just voulturing people.. i dont think is entertainment.. i think is being a leech.
and about the professor being a crappy magician..
i have seen his predictions many times posted on the magiccafe.. and i certainly was dissapointed because he ALWAYS waits until the event passes to said he predicted it the event (is like a magician saying.. think of a card.. then saying.. ok.. wait.. going to another room and coming back with a ¨sealed¨ envelope with that card) , i qualify that as a fail. then in another video he pulls out a gem of mentalism, a 90dollar book, describes the content and then calls it by the title ( witches almanac) before going and saying he is going to make a prediction.. this was a huuuuuuuuge erreur, is like going into a card routine and let them seeing you using a trick cards.. it just simply lame magic
