Irish Magician Caught Stealing Tricks?
Look, we're not going to get in the middle of this, but loud-mouthed illusionist Barry Rothbart recently confronted Irish illusionist Rob O'Reilly (or is it Carlos Menendez?) on-stage and accused him of stealing magic tricks.
(via The Apiary)
Personally, I never really cared for Rothbart or thought he was a particularly convincing magician. He was okay in that news-oriented magic review, but that's only because he was onstage with a group of other illusionists that were way more talented, and the choreography was super sharp. (I still mourn the passing of Syd Spectacular.) But if O'Reilly really is stealing tricks, he needs to explain himself. That sh*t is not cool.

hes not irish, at least try for an accent
huh? i dont think this is real this looks an awful lot like the carlos mencia video that joe rogan posted last month. plus theres a link that leads to a sketch comedy group's website. im confused. how come i never heard of these magicians? theres not even any mention of a rob oreilly on wikipedia. if he was that famous to warrent a video like this wouldnt they at least have him on wikipedia? so many questions. i think i smell a fake.
I'd like to see the Masked Comedian come out and show how Carlos Mencia does all his jokes.
