This is just sickening

Check this out. This happened about 20 minutes away from me yesterday. This is not the publicity we as magicians need, it's already hard enough to make it as a magician then to have this going around. I think I met this guy at a I.B.M. meeting about a year ago but I couldn't be for sure.

That's pretty gross... a 9 year old girl? Ewwww....

I'm not worried about the I.B.M. most laymen don't know what that is. I'm more worried about the reputation of losing jobs from it and the news is saying now that there has been multiple girls involved. I checked his website and the police must have it locked down. There some good ole boys in Huntsville prison that are gonna love this guy here. He won't get off easy.

Shane.

Listen, you guys make jokes, but this is a disgrace.
There are so many sick disgusting people out there, ruining other people's lives. I feel so bad for this little girl, and others that might be involved.
This pedophile should be punished more than just put in jail and fined. This is just pure disgusting.

It also hurts the magic community because when others read this story, they will think twice about hiring magicians for their kid's parties. On top of the David Copperfield incident, The magic community has seen better days. They are ruining our reputations and giving us a bad name.
