Watched an old Criss Angel show where he stood at a roulette wheel with two girls and picked five numbers in a row. Even the dealer seemed amazed. I know it's a trick... but still. Will any casino allow him to place a real bet?

Its a trick. The girls are paid by him, as is the dealer.
They just spin and spin until he gets what he wants,
and they edit it later.

I can't even watch his shows anymore since it came out about him using paid actors to act as strangers off the street. Same goes for a lot of the so called "reality" tv shows... watching the "behind the scenes" takes and retakes of what is supposed to be spontaneous reality when in fact most of it is scripted.

I went to his Believe show last night, review to come soon. It was not as bad as I thought it would be, but the show is definitely nothing like it used to be (reading other reviews of it). I was taking notes for my review and the security made me stop because I did not have written permission from Cirque Du Soleil to take notes during their show. How lame!

Very lame indeed.

Did you by any chance point out you'd remember what you saw, but lacked permission to do so? Of course that might have gotten you thrown out altogether.

This reminds me when we needed photos of some products for a propposal, and at Walmart they didn't let us take them. I wound up using my cell phone instead fo the nice camera we brought along <sigh>.
