Magic, well ...

I decided to take WSPA-3 to the magic show around the corner. I felt I had to see one train wreck when I was here.

Kirby VanBurch, drunk as a lord and botoxed out of his mind. I just can't take seriously a magician who can't take the time to get himself into the bag inside the box when he does Metamorphosis.

The funniest part of the evening was when they did a levitation with his wife. In this case it was done over fountains of water. From the angle I was at, it looked like there was steam coming up from her crotch ...

This is the sort of guy who Penn & Teller make fun of.

Oh dear god.

See, I didn't know who you were talking about, so I googled his name.

In March, 2005, Branson entertainer, illusionist and magician, Kirby VanBurch, plead guilty to the felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon and the misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated and third-degree assault on a law enforcement officer. In return for the guilty plead the prosecution agreed to recommend probation instead of jail time.

Dig a little deeper, it gets more fun. He's supposedly deeply closeted, and his wife is buddies with Jim Bakker ... like I said, I had to go see one train wreck ... and yeah I knew all this before I went to see him. I'm like that sometimes.
