Send us a textIn this magical episode of Sorry, We Tried, the guys discuss one of the dumbest stage magicians of all time— William Robinson, also known as Chung Ling Soo. A pioneer of the "bullet catch" trick as well as a monumental scumbag, Robinson decided to get famous by copying other peoples' acts and masquerading as a Chinese man for his entire career. It's a wild story with an unexpected ending! Also in this episode, Harrison drops some Burger King lore. Robby decides to censor himself. Spencer can't say words correctly. And the guys get stuck for a while on how Robinson's act went horribly, horribly wrong.Website: sorrywetried.comMerch: bit.ly/swtmerchInstagram: @swtpodcastTwitter: @sorrywetriedEmail: thepodcastmen@gmail.comSupport the show

Magic acts are all about doing extraordinary things with a wink and a nod to the audience, letting them know that the unbelievable is, indeed, possible. The audience is held spellbound by the illusion, yet always with the knowledge that death will be defied, they will be captivated, and the magician in question will live to trick another day. But what if they...don't? What if the illusion goes wrong? In this episode Sean takes us through stories where death was NOT defied, and illusion performances went horribly wrong. From the bullet catch that went sideways for Chung Ling Soo to the fiery demise of The Great Lafayette to the mysterious end of Harry Houdini, we discuss magic acts that ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain’t it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscary Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscary BarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!

We talk to the multi-talented David Kwong about puzzling during lockdown, missing live audiences and his love of bringing magic to the big and small screens.David has leaned into the virtual world, hosting instagram live puzzles and now has a full set in his basement for the sold out 'Inside the Box' show.He tells us about compiling puzzles for the New York Times, his favorite magic history stories and working on movies like Now You See Me - where he had to literally tape a coin to Morgan Freeman's hand - and shows like Deception and Blindspot.We talk about the science of magic, taking advantage of faulty wiring in the brain and his TED talks about it.And he tells the amazing story of Chung Ling Soo.David drinks a Talisker 10 while I enjoy a Bunnahaibhain - which has the same Scrabble tile value as his name.

Jeb and Blake whip out the marshmallows and settle down by a big hot fire to discuss the In Search Of episode: Firewalkers.  (watch this ISO episode on YouTube) From Wikipedia (on heat transfer): Advection Advection is the transport mechanism of a fluid from one location to another, and is dependent on motion and momentum of that fluid. Convection The transfer of energy between an object and its environment, due to fluid motion. The average temperature is a reference for evaluating properties related to convective heat transfer. Radiation The transfer of energy by the emission of electromagnetic radiation. Conduction  The transfer of energy between objects that are in physical contact. Thermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat and evaluated primarily in terms of Fourier's Law for heat conduction. The guy who trained Tony Robbins - Tolly Burkan used to train people to TEACH firewalking for just a mere $2000.  Tolly said he learned about this from August 1977 Scientific American. Expedition Magazine mentioned by Jeb. Harry Price (famous Ghost Hunter) researched firewalking. The Skeptic's Dictionary lengthy entry on Firewalking More on the physics of Firewalking  2 Kings 17, v 16-17 (Bible verse discussed) And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. The symbolism filled story of Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego  Sydney Walter - hypnotist The Spanish fire walking of San Pedro Manrique  I did notice (on rewatching) that not all couples crossing were heterogeneous, nor were they all young.   The magician Chung Ling Soo, mentioned by Jeb, who died on stage with a botched bullet catch. Nimoy reminds us of The Police video for Wrapped Around Your Finger as he plays with candle fire. The Balinese shaman may be invoking the spirit of the Bali Pony, the local breed.   Arthur C.

In the next two episodes, I look at stories about deaths that revealed secrets. In this episode we'll look at the story of Chung Ling Soo, billed as the "Marvelous Chinese Conjurer," one of the most famous magicians in the world at the beginning of the 20th century. I'll also look at his origins as a white American named William Robinson, and how his untimely death led a web of secrets, lies, and illusions to finally fall apart.The primary source for this episode is "The Glorious Deception," by Jim Steinmeyer.Music in this episode is courtesy of musopen.orgYou can support the show on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SynodusHorrenda where for $5 a month you will receive access to short monthly bonus episodes.

Chung Ling Soo of William Robinson, de hoofdpersoon in de #113miljard van deze week is een man van vele namen en goocheltrucs. Hij hield zich bepaald niet in om de hoogste podia van de goochelaarswereld te beklimmen. Daarmee werd hij wereldberoemd, maar zoals jullie weten, brengt het nemen van grote risico’s grote gevolgen met zich mee. With great power comes great responsibility en zo. Ook al heeft hij niets met Spiderman te maken. Goed, lekker luisteren!

Chung Ling Soo was the stage name of the American magician William Ellsworth Robinson, who is mostly remembered today for his death after a bullet catch trick went wrong.

Modernism in the arts, and particularly literature, has often been portrayed as a middle class pursuit, with certain literary critics focusing on the ‘elitism’ of the movement. But does this give a true picture of its social composition? This week, Tom Overton talks to Nick Hubble about their new book The Proletarian Answer to the Modernist Question (https://euppublishingblog.com/2017/09/07/proletarian-modernism/), and about how the General Strike of 1926 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/writing-the-1926-general-strike/41A4BEF1FB2C099EEEFD60A5F14C0B80), the Equal Franchise Act 1928 and the Great Depression shaped working class forms of modernism during the 1930s.

Chung Ling Soo eli William Ellsworth Robinson oli skotlantilais–amerikkalainen taikuri, joka saavutti maailmanmaineen kiinalaisella esityksellään. Hän kuoli dramaattisesti vuonna 1918 Lontoossa. Chung Ling Soon piti vangita häntä kohti ammuttu luoti, mutta temppu epäonnistui. Robinson kuoli sairaalassa seuraavana päivänä. Tätä samaa riskialtista temppua oli esittänyt useampi taikuri ennen Chung Ling Soota. Osa heistä menehtyi. Robinson tiesi tämän ja silti otti tempun ohjelmistoonsa. Kannattaako näin vaarallista ohjelmanumeroa kenenkään taikurin tehdä? Asiasta keskustelemassa taikuri Pete Purho ja tietokirjailija Heikki Nevala Toimittajana taikuri-mentalisti Pete Poskiparta.

Vuelve la magia al programa con el gran Jorge Blass, que nos presenta a un curioso personaje de la historia de la magia, Chung Ling Soo, un chino que no era chino y que murió tal como vivió, envuelto en el misterio.

Además nos avanza los detalles del VIII Festival Internacional de Magia de Madrid con grandes galas de escena, magia de cerca, conferencias de historia de la magia y mucho más
