One other example.  They show a "Magic Secrets Revealed" episode allegedly showing how Copperfield walked through the Great Wall of China.

That's an epic fail.

They claim that a double slips into the curtained area.  Problem:  For Copperfield, there were observers on top of the Great Wall who would have seen this.

They claim that the actual magician slips into a trapped door into an area beneath the platform.  Problem:  there was clearly no area beneath the platform, since you could see the assistants through the bottom on the other side.

They claim that the magician gets wheeled away in the stairs leading up to the platform.  Problem: you can see that the stairs are just stairs and there's no way a person could fit into them (there's no hidden compartment in the stair).

They claim that they wheel the stairs around the other side of the wall (they used some shipping containers to simulate).  Problem:  Great Wall of China is miles long and there's no way to simply wheel Copperfield around to the other side.  They would have had to lift him over the wall somehow, but again there were observers on top who would have seen him come back in.

In the alleged explanation, they rely on the fact that the observers could only see one side of the apparatus, but there were observers all around it for Copperfield, on compartments under the platform and in the staircase, being wheeled around to the other side, none of which would have been possible for the Copperfield version.

Copperfield admits to holding the largest collection of occult artifacts in the world (valued at hundreds of millions of dollars), including many books on magic, witchcraft, and sorcery.

So the "Magic Secrets Revealed" alleged explanation is an epic fail and does not come close to explaining Copperfield's version.

These are just two examples of the lame, stupid non-explanations that are easily debunked.  People, however, assume ahead of time that there MUST be a natural explanation, and so they're ready to believe these things even though upon closer scrutiny they fail miserably.

The Dimonds played a major role in my conversion also. I love their style. What can I say? 🤷‍♂️ They made it plain for me to make the decision to stop being an “indulter” and be an actual Catholic. And they promote the rosary a ton. My Godfather and I use a phrase to describe The Dimonds and others like them. Haha. “Straight up black coffee!” 😆 although the Dimonds might be better described as a shot of espresso.

And I love the Dimond video on the magicians. Is everything in stage or street magic performed with the help of demons? I’d wager no. HOWEVER, the posters and pictures of magicians with demons whispering in their ears seems to explain how some of these guys are able to “read minds.” That part is sort of terrifying to me. I think demons are essential to a top selling magicians act at the end of the day.

The other part from the Dimond video that intrigued me was that magician Dynamo and his name being taken from Manly P Halls book. Dynamo uses “heat” from his hand to impress an image of it into glass… it is an inversion of that story of the soul in purgatory doing something similar into a piece of wood.

I would agree that “Dimond production’s” topics are quite interesting and relevant to the trad Catholic scene, yet I still classify them as “dark sedes”.

The meaning of “dark sede” is, in their theology, everything… all trad Sacraments are invalid.

Over the years, they have surely monitored their audience and adjusted and perfected their writing craft to present popular articles.

But their fishy, non Catholic origins and dark sede agenda is what concerns me.

For example:

 I recently revisited their archives for their classic Fatima article of 2006, where they made the slickest set of arguments claiming the Fatima consecration was a done deal.

This article is a masterpiece of deceit. I’m sure they never renounced their position on it.

A priest once told me one of his Louisiana parishioners tried to set an appointment to visit the Dimond compound.
No way we’re they going to allow anyone to see their monastic “writers shop.”

Like most Marrano media operations (Mikey Voris, Taylor (jew) Marshall, the Dimonds are positioned to divert, mislead and to put us into despair.

Based on their profound level of media output, I’ve always envisioned the Dimond monastery to be filled jew writers and kippah headed video producers 😉

What?  They've never held any such thing.  In fact, for some years they were even going to Eastern Rite to receive the Sacraments.

They surely have.

Your disagreement with me on this important point is similar to your insistence that Gerry Matatics did not evangelize the same.

It is well known that Gerry (another Dark sede) didn’t seek a priest for his wife’s last Sacraments because he and she held them to be invalid.
