My Future Competition: Jordan the Great!

By Harris III | 8 Comments

Not long ago, I received a Facebook message from someone who had seen our show in Roanoke, VA, and had bought one of our magic sets.  It included a video that almost made me cry.  It’s pretty long, and you may not have time to watch Jordan’s entire show, but you HAVE to take 60 seconds out of your schedule to watch the first minute of this video.  I promise, you’ll smile.

It’s videos like this one that make me realize the value and importance of illusionism.TV.  Magic is awesome for kids, for so many reasons, and I can’t wait to see what kind of aspiring magicians are born out of such an exciting project!  If you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure to take a look.  It’s child friendly, safe and secure, and your kids will love it!

What I think about other magicians…

By Harris III | 7 Comments

Not long after I first launched this blog, I shared my honest opinion about Criss Angel. People always ask me what I think about him, so I told them.  Since then, I’ve shared more than one of other opinions I have about a lot of things.  I’ve also learned a lot along the way, mainly that one’s opinion usually doesn’t matter, and that sometimes, sharing it doesn’t do much more than push people’s buttons.  I enjoy pushing people’s buttons, but pushing them for pushing’s sake…well, what’s the point in that?  That’s stupid.  And yes, I’ve already admitted that sometimes I’m stupid.

Though I’m not always good at it, I’m more interested in encouraging others to think, and motivated by the potential of influence or change. So here’s an opinion that will hopefully influence a few others to consider getting over themselves, and making a better attempt at being who they were actually created to be.

“We would do more events if…” Really??

By Harris III | 5 Comments

This past weekend, we had the honor of partnering with 88.3, a radio station based in Springfield, MO. They did a Valentine’s Day event for their listeners, and we had an absolute blast performing for a PACKED house.  It was a really, really fun event for us, and is probably the 4th or 5th radio station we’ve partnered with here in the U.S.

This morning, my assistant Beth got the following email in her inbox from Ben Birdsong, the Station Manager. It was completely unsolicited, and 100% unexpected:   READ ALL

How to Feel Beautiful – Everlife sings “What’s Beautiful”, and discusses how deception impacts your self-image…

A question for the girls: Do you feel beautiful today?

If you’ve seen me perform live, you may have heard me talk about how easy it is to be deceived, and one of the ways it happens is how the world attempts to define what true beauty is.  Every day you drive by billboards, see ads on TV, and look at pictures as you flip through magazines, and it’s everything inside of you to feel pretty.  Does the world and it’s blurred messages of self-image impact how you see yourself in the mirror?   READ ALL

Are car companies deceiving millions of people? Or am I just crazy?

By Harris III | 2 Comments

I recently blogged about the Dangerous Deception of Taco Bell, and used their newest commercial to illustrate how deceptive advertising can be, and the lasting, life-changing impact it can have on our lives.  Out of curiosity, I thought I’d find another ad we might be able to learn from.  To be honest, I wondered how long it would take.  I thought, “Let’s try a car commercial. How about BMW?”  And this is the first one I found.

Total time to find a deceptive ad on YouTube: 60 seconds. 15 seconds to search, and 45 more to watch the commercial.  Of course, the ad being deceptive is just my opinion. To me, the promise they make is just an illusion. READ ALL

The Dangerous Deception of Taco Bell

By Harris III | 4 Comments

Last night I dropped by a friend’s house to catch a little bit of the Bama vs. Texas Championship game. (Congrat’s to all you Bama fans!)  While there, a TV commercial came on advertising Taco Bell’s Fresco menu, which supposedly contains less fat than the rest of their menu items.  As we watched, my friend (who also is currently trying to get back in shape), was trying to figure out if it was a real commercial, or if Taco Bell was being sarcastic.  Turns out, they’re “for real.”

That was just last night, and already one of my crew guys asked me today in the process of choosing our lunch spot, “Have you seen the Taco Bell commercial about the new healthy menu?”  Wow…word travels fast! Advertising works, huh?

Or does it? READ ALL
