Oh come on BoingBoing… I mean, we realise it’s tough out there. And yes, you have still produced a few things worth reading, even after the SkyMall merger. But this is really bottomfeeding exploitative bullshit that plays to lonely and insecure people. You are, even to this day, better than this!

Search the Internet for his name and watch videos of him explaining critical thinking, magic, deception, and debunking all sorts people who claim to have super natural powers. A rabbit hole worth going down!

This is an infomercial aimed at lonely out of work alcoholics. Really? The big motivation to buy this is so that lots of people will surround me and buy me drinks?
You know this is just expensive magic act training right ?
