I personally know a handful of converts that came to Traditionalism (from other faiths) due to the Diamonds.  All converts were men. 


The Diamonds are a little nutty on some things, and I don't like their constant anathemas of heresy, but...in our overly feminized, wishy-washy, "maybe, sometimes" world, the Diamonds presentation of the Faith as "yes, yes and no, no" speaks to people, mostly men.  It works.  Can't argue with results.
Finding the Dimond brother's videos actually helped me understand what was up with the church, and thus facilitated my journey into Traditionalism. Though I'm not about to "stay home".
I'm still working out BOD/BOB. I believe that there's no salvation outside the church. I'm also fairly new at this.

Fake. You can see how he does 90% of the tricks using slow playback. I'm not sure how he got the one in his mouth that he spit out. There could have been some chemistry involved to inflate the ball at will.

From 1:27-1:29 :laugh2: 

Besides the time stamp I referenced where he looks absolutely retarded some of his other hand movements look bizarre. Is there a natural explanation? I’d say yes. At the same time his body language and hand movements in the video above don’t look entirely like an act, as if it’s all just putting on to add humor to the trick itself.

I think the strange behavior is deliberately intended as a distraction, which is key to all sleight-of-hand tricks ... and it's very effective.  It's hard to focus on what he's doing rather than his bizarre faces and movements.
