I'm friends with him on FB and have been following him since he's left the boards. My hat goes off to the kid.

Good for him

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2 on:** August 28, 2013, 08:04:21 AM »

Good on him, still working hard at it.

So um, it makes me wonder what would happen if I left the forum......

rumborak · « **Reply #3 on:** August 28, 2013, 08:05:05 AM »

Now I'm wondering what the name of that magazine is. The City Pooper? The City Pisser?

You'd be on the cover of City Pooper.

But that's only the #2 magazine in the region. I'd rather be in the City Pisser.

The link indicates that it's the Pittsburgh City Paper.

Oh, so just because you saw it on the Internet, it must be true?

It's obviously Pittsburgh City Pooper. Moving along...

Go Collin; it's yo birfday.

Also really weird to see how he's grown up.

yorost · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2013, 08:50:54 AM »

What did he say he wouldn't do?

Nick · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2013, 09:23:17 AM »

It's great to see him having some level of success with what he's doing, but remember he said things along the lines of running a billion dollar company in 10 years or some such. I have no doubt he can be a successful Pittsburgh performer, but being the CEO of a huge magic/self-help company is another matter.

rumborak · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2013, 09:51:42 AM »

Is that ... Magnum?

Zook · « **Reply #14 on:** August 28, 2013, 10:15:10 AM »

Looks like a young Brad Pitt, without the mullet.

And for the record, I never said he couldn't do what he sought out to do.

Also, I have some debts that need paying...

I'm pretty sure that's Blue Steel.

TioJorge · « **Reply #16 on:** August 28, 2013, 10:58:53 AM »

Fucking beautiful. Sometimes, being proven wrong is a great feeling. Awesome!

And yes, absolutely magnum. I seriously hope he crushes. I still can't believe that not only did he not fall flat on his face, but he's succeeding and seems to be flourishing.

Nick · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:05:40 AM »

Looking over his website I like what he's done. He's gone straight business with his magic and is offering good points on why he should be hired for various events. If he is still doing self help stuff on the side that's great, but he seems to have his main focus on just being a good magician, which frankly is one of the things we had said all along.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #18 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:22:16 AM »

He should be proud following what he loved. Good for him.

yeah, canning bedeceived was probably the best decision of his life.

Sigz · « **Reply #20 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:33:26 AM »

Yeah, definitely major props to him for keeping at it and actually getting somewhere in the process. That said,

The title says "we," not "he." And I'm assuming he meant succeed at this stuff since a lot of people knocked it.

Oops.

I'm glad he went back to more magic and less "cult leader" thing he had going on on his website.

Once Itchy realizes his lifelong dream of portraying Itchy from the Itchy and Scratchy show in a Simpsons off-Broadway play, we'll all be at peace with the world.
