Matt writes a very touching piece on Voices You Hear In Your Head and it’s as if he’s writing what the little voice in my own head has been saying . . . a lot. I love performing, love it. And I really really really have missed it over the years I’ve lived here. Now…

Cracks Down on Psychics for Profit
by Brian David Phillips •
Doesn’t this fall in with the Church and State separations for some? Philly Cracks Down on Psychics for Profit . . . They never saw it coming. City inspectors shut down more than a dozen psychics, astrologers and tarot-card readers after learning about a decades-old state law that bans fortune telling for profit. Inspectors did…

China invading Taiwan . . . the bets are in
by Brian David Phillips •
This is just creepy . . . and depressing as hell . . . Dublin offers contracts on China invading Taiwan . . . essentially, folks are “betting”/”investing” that China will invade us. Not the happiest of thoughts for those of us who actually live in Taiwan.

Reality Doesn’t Exist . . . unless you’re watching it

by Brian David Phillips •
Goodbye reality . . . Quantum physics says goodbye to reality and An experimental test of non-local realism . . . basically, at the quantum level, reality only exists when we’re observing it, not when we’re not looking. So, reality may be there because we put it there and our observations affect how it is…

Hypno-Sculpture
by Brian David Phillips •
Sometimes you just have to marvel at another performer’s bit. The Art of Hypno-Sculpture is an elegant, quirky, and interesting idea that takes a rather unorthodox approach to street trance and performance. Basically, international entertainer Win Eiam-ong (aka Win the Mentalist and Master Hypnotist, web), walks up to folks in major cities around the globe…

Train Thoughts
by Brian David Phillips •
More fun with Derren Brown. Ormond McGill used to do this sort of stuff with bus drivers, getting them to forget the next stop or their route. It’s a form of waking suggestion that he would practice for fun, technique enhancement, and skill development. See McGill’s excellent The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism, the single…

Taiwan MPs stun students with mock college attack
by Brian David Phillips •
This is ridiculous, offensive, and in incredibly bad taste . . . Taiwan MPs stun students with mock college attack. Two legislators bring along a bunch of reporters and then burst into a building at National Taiwan University where students are taking exams and stage a mock attack, emulating the events at Virginia Tech.

Talking to Sperm . . . hypnotically
by Brian David Phillips •
I kid you not. A television network in Taiwan has been fined for broadcasting a guy hypnotized to talk to sperm. It wasn’t even his own sperm. A soldier died last year and his fiancee asked that his sperm be preserved so she could undergo artificial insemination. The boy’s family asked that the sperm samples…

Imus and Reverse Racism

Jason McClain or Evolutionary Thoughts has a piece on the Imus Controversy and reverse racism, how many of the folks who are slamming Imus for what were racist comments are likewise racist themselves. His comments about slavery having ended long ago are worth the looksee.
