Or maybe he lives in Germany.

...where all the spectators are in concentration camps.

If I lived in Germany I would not be talking [edited] about other countries politics...

Really though, what can mall security do? Just be nice to the guy and put the cards away and move somewhere else. You could also stop people outside walking to/from their car or smoking jacks outside etc.

"other countries politics"? who was talking about politics?

Even if I wanted to talk about politics, according to you I'm not allowed to talk about the politics of the country which issued me a passport?

and as for spectators being in concentration camps, they were freed a long time ago. now they are drinking beer and eating sausages at the beer garden and collecting welfare.
get your stereotypes with the correct generation.

Correct generation? The Holocaust is part of YOUR COUNTRIES history. I don't care if you were born here, I don't want to hear your smart EDITED American military bashing.

I don't understand how you don't expect a negative response from "you're right. maybe he lives in Iraq. wait...all their malls were bombed."

You don't have to PM me your flaming by the way.


EDITED Profanity
There will be no offensive language allowed on the Penguin Magic Forums. This includes any coded or partially written bad language. If you are unsure whether or not your language is offensive, a simple rule to follow is: "when in doubt, leave it out." Using symbols in place of letters is still considered profane. Thanks ---823

Correct generation?
I was born a little too late to have anything to do with this.
(you do understand the word "generation"?)

part of your country's heritage
I was also born in the wrong country for this to apply to me. Actually, my parents and grandparents were also born in the wrong country. my grandfather even fought against the germans.

american military bashing?
I was in the army 4 years. i think if anyone has to right to "bash", I have earned it. but in any case, where do you see bashing?

I don't understand how you don't expect a negative response
good, maybe this will get a positive response.

Why aren't there any K-marts in Iraq?
because there is a target on every corner

I wish mall security would approach me. I'd just play catch me if you can. However, if you run across a situation like the one above, I would not perform at all. That is disrespectful to the magicians who went and set up an agreement with the mall. Stealing someone's stage is a no no in my book.

there is no fear of mall security. The worst thing that could happen is that they will ask you to leave or they will call the police...

Wrong. Certain malls, like Mall of America in MN have as security only licensed police officers so any security officer has the power to arrest and detain. Other malls have one police officer on duty at all times so they can arrest on the spot.

Most will ask that you cease and desist and at the same time spread the word via radio describing you and warning others to watch for you. If you just move to a different part of the mall, you can be arrested, taken to the security office and held for transportation to a jail for trespassing or creating a disturbance.

Depending on the jurisdiction that you live in, the results could be a fine up to several hundred dollars ($500 where I live) plus a couple of days in jail if you really urinate off the judge.

Mall security is way to uptight. At the mall i go to they dont even let you sit on the benches for more than 30 seconds if you are under the age of 6000. One time they pulled me aside and yelled at me for having spiked bracelets on. I would hate to see what they would do if someone performed magic there.

god, i wish i had 1 guard here in every mall... well, we got like 150-20 in each mall, just coz i'm from Israel (but it's a good reason i think...)
i don't think that if i'll perform in the mall the security would give me any trouble, i'm not doing anything against the law by performing there, as long as i don't ask for money to do it.

You need to try to get a job at a restaurant. Impress the management. Tell them to watch you work as you entertain a couple tables. You could get realy sneaky and have some friends go in to eat before you talk to management and then go perform for their table and a couple others, tell your friends to be loud! Tell the other folks to mention something to management if they liked the magic!

If you're good enough, you won't need to use your friends as a "plant!"
