"Excuse me, but if I don't move near the fabric screen that hides the lift device, my magic doesn't work. Ah good, the lift can now engage like every levitation done in vaudeville routines in front of a curtain. Please shoot from the front to maintain the magic vibe."
This "magician" host blurs the lines of ethics of his profession. He is over the line I respect in practicers of his art, who in the tradition of Harry Houdini, helped people see through flim-flam, while amazing them at the same time with skilful acts of theatrical "magic". Using it to promote bullshit seems like a violation of that tradition. The public should be able to look to magicians to help us determine frauds, not to give them false credibility. Damn, I almost fell.
