Bish the Magish...
I tend not to post too much about the goings on with Glenn Bishop, Steve Brooks, the magic cafe, etc. Simply because other bloggers have the market on that cornered. But I am going to make an exception here.
On the fantastic Magician X blog, there's a post that points to this (now locked) topic on the Magic Crappe. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=90707&forum=27
It seems ole bishypoos is upset because there are blogs about magic that speak their minds and tell things how they are. Now bear in mind this is the same moaning minnie that Magic Circle Jerk blogged about recently, so it looks like he's just playing for attention. I expect Mr Bish needs to be on prozac and ritalin or something, he's like a problem kid who acts up to get the attention of his parents.
Anyway that aside. One of the things Mr Bish complains about is how blogs have insulted him for how he looks. I spent a while scouring the popular blogs and the only thing I can find that is about how he looks was my 'spot the difference' pictures which featured him and benny hill. I hardly think that's insulting to you - Benny hill is way better looking!
He then whines on about how he is taking his DVD's off the market because someone insulted them. This is another pathertic cry for attention much like the "I'm leaving the cafe.. ohh maybe I'm not" thread that circle jerk blogged about.
Then he complains about a blogger who insulted Harry Lorayne.
Now I know of two blogs that picked fault with Harry Lorayne. One is Euan Binghams Magic Den and the other is the FooCan boyz blog. And both of them only did two things. 1) Pointed out the credit ommissions that 'Mr Memory' himself forgot to include and 2) Showed what an obnoxious, foul-mouthed loonatic Mr Lorayne is.
So its all very well saying how much material Harry put out - if most of it wasn't his then surely that's not a good thing?
And to suggest that if you haven't put anything out you don't deserve an opinion is utter shit. Anyway just to make it clear - I have put stuff out, its stuff people like and have talked highly of, so I guess I am entitled to an opinion even by Mr Bish's wierd standards. Also I'd suggest you check out Euan's site - he's put out lots of books, and the FooCan boyz put out four excellent issues of the FooCan magazine and are still promising a fifth. So I guess their points are valid too!
And for Mr bish to complain about bloggers language, if you check out the posts by Euan on the magic den and Andy at the FooCan site, they both post verbatim emails from old Harry and you should see the terrible lauguage that old fucker comes out with.
Anyway the thread on the cafe goes on for three pages and the Bish is just repeating over and over and over that he doesn't like blogs and they are bad. He says at one point that 'insulting professional magicians isn't good for magic'. I agree Mr Bish - that's why lots of blogs pick on you instead of a professional.
Blogs about magic are like National Enquirer is to the world of celebrities. If magic was as big as celebrities we'd all be publishing tabliod garbage. But it isn't so we keep to blogging which is free.
If you put out tricks to the market place or put yourself out in the magic-public eye, then expect to be picked on from time to time. But please.. stop whining like a baby.

Plus at this person'a own personal blog he goes on and on insulting a legend in magic that wrote a great list of books. Harry Loryane... Most of these blogsters or blogarts have not even put something out on the magic market - nor the amount of great material that Harry Loryane has published! So how does what they are doing add value to the art of Magic?
