  • Getting back to the thread title, I wasn’t aware magicians are a problem for Catholics or society in general.  
    I can’t think of any I’ve seen recently, and those I have seen didn’t need to be cracked down upon.  A six year old girl in my class’s father performed some magic tricks at her class birthday party.  He wasn’t that good but the children loved it when pulled coins out of their ears, did card tricks, produced scarves from his nose…
    In the early 1990’s two Indian (East) fellows dressed as magicians boarded the uptown 6 train in NYC, pushing a cart set up as a magic show. They proceeded to entertain us with classic tricks including pulling a real small rabbit out of a top hat!  There was piano music to accompany the show.  It was really quite good, so they made a fair amount when they went through the car with the donation can.  Probably the Transit Police would crack down on them, but none were present. Our show was from 59 & Lex to 125 St.  
    I don’t get it!  Are the Dimonds harassed by demonic magicians?  I’ve never been there, but their “monastery” in the woods hardly seems like a place that attracts magicians.  Maybe I’m wrong, but don’t they not have TV’s and strictly limit the use of internet?

  • ‘I honest to God believe I was drugged’: magician David Copperfield’s alleged victims speak out
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/may/15/david-copperfield-allegations

    Magician David Copperfield accused of grooming underaged girls, even drugging and raping. He was another one with an island in the Bahamas.

    Of course it doesn't have anything to do with them personally being harassed.  If you watch the video, you'll see what it's about, the subtle effect on popular culture these types are having where they're undermining people's belief in Our Lord.  Our Lord's miracles were among the most powerful signs of "credibility" for Our Lord when He came, that which showed everyone that He had the authority of God.  But with these magicians "replicating" nearly every miracle Our Lord performed, it makes it easy for the cynics in the world to scoff at Our Lord's having been the Son of God.  Pfft.  Dynamo, Blane, Copperfield, and Jebreezus (that's what he called himself in blasphemy) did all that and more.  Jesus was just a magician as many of His detractors claimed.

    When the Brothers put out videos about Orthodoxy, it's not because they're attacked by the Orthodox or somehow tempted to become Orthodox, or when they put out videos about evolution, it's not as though they're tempted to believe in it ... they put these materials out because there are many out there, millions, and billions of souls who are being deceived by these things, and also having their faith weakened by these so-called "magicians".
