If Craig knows him perhaps he might ask.
I am no fan of exposure but if Fox TV called and offered half the money I would of course do it and so would everyone else despite hypocritical bleating. I would also do it without the mask but I am afraid I might frighten the children at home.
I don't know how much Val was getting but if it were a hundred grand or so I would certainly do it and so would virtually everyone else here unless they were independently wealthy. Money talks and everyone has their price.
The fun of irritating magicians the world over would be worth it alone. Come to think of it I might pay to do it!

Val is developing a show but it will not be like the Masked Magician shows of the past as I understand things... he's actually introducing some newer, more innovative people so as to kind of punctuate the fact that magic has changed and moved forward since he made his controversial challenge.
If you don't think that the ideal should have been fulfilled, I don't want to hear about it

Not revealing the secrets of magic doesn't make you a perfect person, Trinity.
And don't bother posting some snarky reply.
We're getting into the sort of conversation I said I didn't want to have. Therefore, this discussion is over! (And if I were a moderator, I'd make it permanently so by closing the topic.)
