This amazing to me. I don't know if any of you have seen this before, but it is worth watching again.

That wasn't the question. If you don't know how it is done you can keep your trap shut, don't really give a damn what you think.

I agree. Pandering I'd call it.

It’s just a trick, lol.
Professional magicians like Penn and Teller more than likely can spot the trick in a few minutes or seconds.

If you don't care what they think why'd you post it in the first place?

I saw him in Britain got talent, he did not win but came back last year and no one knew who he was. He was brilliant. He came second as the winner was a Chelsea pensioner who sang and got through because he was a Chelsea Pensioner not for his voice...

The ‘magician’ uses the birth and recovery of his child to gain a mawkish sympathy from the sentimental audience, and thereby cynically reduces his family to a mere prop for his trick.
Despicable.
As despicable as using ones persona as a Chelsea Pensioner to win the competition, rather than relying on the quality of ones voice . . .

You summed it up well.
It’s just a trick, but the emotional built around it is despicable.

In an age where civility is clearly disappearing, that seems to be an unnecessarily aggressive response. Regrettably that is becoming more common in our country. Can't speak for other places as I live here.
This is an internet forum and in common with most other forums you are almost guaranteed to have responses that are at least partially irrelevant. Better just to ignore, as I should probably have done with your post.
Please accept this in the positive spirit that is intended - otherwise you can keep your trap shut, don't really give a damn what you think.
