Magic Trick Fails

Abra Ca-D'oh!-bra -- Magic Trick Fails Caught on Tape

Magic is just smoke and mirrors, they say. But sometimes it's also smoke and mirrors and fire and blood and sheer embarrassment. And maybe some dead rabbits in a top hat.


Because not every magic trick turns out as planned. Even so, the mucked up stunts can entertain and amaze just as much -- if not more so -- than the successful ones.

To wit: keep reading to watch magicians make their careers disappear with some of these hilarious trick fails.

In all fairness, we don't speak Spanish, so this magician could very well be saying, "For my next trick, I'm going to smash my hand into a knife and bleed all over the place."

"Duck to the future" pun = A+; "Duck to the future" trick = F \

The fact that this fail happened in 1973 and is still around to make us giggle? That is magic.

It's kind of hard to make out what's going on in this video, but when you see the magician's face catch fire, it's pretty clear that the trick went poorly.

As with fire, playing with gravity can hurt you, as well.

There are worse things than losing your head in the guillotine trick. And that's getting stuck in the guillotine, unable to escape from the magician's terrible jokes. (Fail starts at 3:35.)

Men You Should Know

These days Guilherme Valadares asked what was the target of Papo de Homem. He responded with letters: men who will not settle for less.
Therefore, Sir Richard Branson has everything to do with our troops. The billionaire founder of Virgin Group is an entrepreneur who is not afraid to be different, live life to its fullest potential and wants to change the world. Bag-purple.
One could write a whole series of posts about Richard Branson, speaking about his accomplishments and adventures with balloons, breaking records across oceans or planning galactic travel. Beyond business, of course.

Happy for that, my dear? The empire of man Just to have a brief idea, here are some four hundred of their businesses and social enterprises:
    * Virgin Green Fund, investing in renewable energy and efficient use of natural resources;
    * Virgin Earth Challenge prize of 25 million to encourage development of viable technology to remove gases associated with the anthropogenic greenhouse effect;
    * Virgin Unite, nonprofit foundation that focuses on entrepreneurial approaches to social and environmental matters;
    * The Elders, a group of experienced activists and politicians who have ended their careers and now they can use their wisdom and integrity to make a difference on issues of global importance, including the fight against trafficking of women who recently mentioned in # debatepdh;
    * Virgin Mobile, which has services to allow you to block some crazy numbers after a certain time, to avoid waking up the next morning beside the wrong person. Or the service of automatic connection to pretend that a friend needs help urgently, and sneak out on a blind date that went wrong;
    * Virgin Airways, an airline that has a goldfish for a boy who was his friend who had detained at an airport in South Africa;
    * Virgin Records, which was the first great success and brought names like Mike Oldfield, Fri Pistols, Phil Collins, Boy George and Janet Jackson (with much heartache, this brand was sold to EMI to save the airline's operations) .
Branson's adventures are well documented in the book Losing My Virginity and its business vision is presented in the Business Stripped Bare.

I imagine that readers can PdH also like reading these works, mainly because of elements similar to Branson and we propose here. To illustrate the parallel use of three texts of old-school PapodeHomem: 1. Combining the passion and the money for success
Reference article: "You blogs for passion or money?"
Branson has always excelled in sports but I was lousy in school. Some teachers speculated that he was dyslexic.
At 16, he rode with a friend of the magazine Student. Was in charge of commercial operations, seeking to advertisers: the intervals of school, went to a pay phone and asked the operator connects you with potential sponsors, using it as alleged desk and giving an air of seniority.
The magazine connected students and took up issues of social importance, such as teenage pregnancy and suicide attempts. The social side was always present in the initiatives of Branson and is one of the factors of success.
The business began to prosper and, when traffic increased, Branson decided to quit school. The director told him, "Branson, of two things: either you become a millionaire, or you'll end up in jail." Both predictions came true.
Branson used the magazine to start a service selling records by mail. As some were international operations in a fiscal mess, was arrested by customs authorities and released on bail.
After the catalog sales, Virgin opened its first store on Oxford Street in London, followed by a studio. Do not think it was coincidence that Branson has returned its first major success in the music business: he's a big party animal! In the last meeting of officials of the Virgin, he gathered more than 7,000 employees and family at their cottage, they camped in the backyard and enjoyed live music from great bands.
And not just in the music business that Branson has built upon its art with passion to deliver value to consumers and profit billion: Necker Island, his personal island in the Virgin Islands is used for sightseeing, partying and networking with great leaders..

The island's face 2. Living life to the fullest is no stupidity
Reference article: "The stupidity of the priest Aderli"
Branson initiatives are always compared the struggle between David and Goliath, as the Virgin always looking for industries where there is a field and market consolidation in the hand of a player who was too confident.
When he began his airline, the CEO of the powerful British Airways joked pointing out that Branson was too old to rock and roll and too young to fly.
As operations expanded and the Virgin was celebrated by consumers as a company more fun, attentive to small details and more cost-effective, had to face the dirty game of British Airways after going over case against monopoly and unfair practices.
A similar confrontation occurred in the launch of Virgin Cola's main competitor saw that their market was threatened and used its power to intimidate sellers not to keep the soda on the shelves of Virgin, otherwise it would boycott the traders cut their freezers. This was a fight in which the Virgin lost heavily, though Virgin Cola still be a hit ... in Bangladesh.

Can you find the 74 bands referenced in this picture? A guy has listed 62 here.
This life without fear of facing corporate giants is also revealed in his passion for sporting challenges. He almost died several times, but no regrets, as is clear in a written message to the children when he was in a situation close to death in a balloon:
    "Dear Holly and Sam, life can be surreal at times. Healthy and live one day. And no longer here the other day. As you both know, I always had the desire to live life to the fullest of their potential. That means I was lucky to live the life of many people throughout my 46 years. I loved every minute of it, and especially loved every second of my time with you and Mom.
    I know that many people thought we were foolish to embark on this latest adventure. I was convinced they were wrong. I felt that everything we learned in our adventures in the Atlantic and Pacific would mean we would have a safe trip. I thought the risks were acceptable. Obviously I was wrong.
    But I do not regret anything about my life but not with Joan to finally help develop you. At the age of 12 and 15 you had already developed their personalities. We are both very proud of you. Joan and I can not want more children lovely. You are both gentle, respectful, full of life (even known!). What else could we want?
  Be strong. I know it will not be easy. But we live a wonderful life together and you will never forget all the good times we had.
  Live life to the fullest as well. Enjoy every minute of it. Mom's love and care as if it were me and her together in one person.
    Love you,
    Daddy. "

 

Text inaugural PdH on a mission to develop the significance of lifestyle
Reference article: "Lifestyle Magazine: a new concept"
Finally, I return to the beginning of PdH. When we put our purpose in developing the concept of lifestyle and his direct experience in life.
What is the lifestyle that a true man wants and deserves?
Some think it is a millionaire to live in income, leaving all kinds of work for living a hedonistic and lazy on the beach ... it really is it? What this man needs to know what you think?
It is speculated that the personal fortune of Richard Branson is between two to three billion pounds. Enough to retire. Why, then, he remains engaged in many new ventures? Have not accumulated enough money?
Not so says Branson thinking. For him, money is only interesting as a feature that allows you to do things. The money is not representative of success in life (and the world of celebrity fame and guides are even worse for measuring success).
In a recent interview, said: "Success is when we create something that we can be proud."
Richard Branson takes this path of success and sees their efforts as entrepreneurs lifestyle and legacy to the world.
As an example, for the entire next decade will dedicate 100% of profits from its transportation companies (Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains) to develop renewable energy technologies. The investment, of course, goes for Virgin Fuels.
But what is, after all, the Virgin? How to explain this strange company that has a gym, financial services and many others that were not mentioned? What is the focus?
The answer is short and simple lifestyle.
Through his personal life and approach to business, Branson has managed to turn the Virgin brand in a gay lifestyle, daring and irreverent attitude.

PapodeHomem in its infancy. What you see there? A web page? Leveraging ... How do you see PapodeHomem?
I found it fascinating to do research on Richard Branson came to me and a great curiosity: what the brand Papo de Man mean to you? What you see in the future possibilities of this project?

Why I Went Into The Amazon

Last month I went to Amazon to Manaus and I spent several days anchored near Maués within the State, during the Feast of Guarana. What made me leave São Paulo, cross country and I get inside? I can not say for sure. Of course we had the opportunity to go check out the traditional festival of guarana along with journalists from all over Brazil. But that was not what attracted me. That was not what made me get on a plane. I travel with a frequency up decent for those who do not have many resources. Sometimes it's for work, others for fun and rarely on account of any obligation whatsoever. But these are never the real reasons that make me leave home, go to a distant airport and spend hours locked in a thing of tons of steel flying over places that are not imagine how. Not that I know the real reasons, but I have some clues. In the case of this trip, I think I discovered everything.

Arriving at the river Solimões (the other boats were part of our train).

It starts here in Sao Paulo. I wake up early and fix up a handbag that will last a few days, four to five. T-shirts, jeans, underwear and a cleaning kit, full staff. Rule number one for travel: only take what you can bear.

No training wheels. Baggage is to charge up as men much greater than we did in ancient times and continue doing. Nothing more ridiculous in an airport than grown men, dressed in tailored suits, concentrated on important e-mails on their BlackBerrys and pulling a suitcase with square wheels. No excuse. I've made long trips abroad carrying my bags. Wheels: no. While waiting for the idiots who like to stay in boarding queuing to enter the plane, I began wondering what the hell I was doing. Would cross the country and putting me back within a state that I know little. I did not know how he would come in and neither would do there. For a few moments I came to consider giving up the whole thing, there seemed to be a decent reason to continue. I realized that the reason was lack of enough. Life is boring and too long not to try. I swallowed the arrest teenager who took hold of me and got on the plane. After a few tablets of Dramamine, I slept almost the five hours of travel.

Our boat (left) and another in AmBev, anchored near Maués.

Fireworks in Maués. When the gate opens for landing at the airport in Manaus, the first thing I feel is an oppressive heat mixed with high humidity. It was night, about eleven o'clock, but it was hot as if there were rows and rows of ovens connected and opened on the street spewing masses calorentas up. It is almost unbelievable warmth that makes this region. Even for me, who grew up in rural Pará and consider myself accustomed to dealing with climate insane. For nearly half an hour just get worried about the heat. I wondered how to put up with almost my entire life a similar climate. I decided to walk away, sweating, wiping his forehead stand at all times and carry a water bottle and a towel with you wherever you go. Rule number two trips to: adapt silently and without fear. Nothing's going to complain every hour, scowling, of cynicism. Accept the region where you are. If it freezing cold or heat can melt clothes, deal with it. Adapt is very important. It is accepting that there is much to do - what? be locked in refrigerated environments, bathing in sunscreen, insect repellent and walking with a ventiladorzinho? how many years you have? Twelve? - And find ways to continue.

 Maués view of our boat. As I watched the view from the hotel, overlooking a huge Rio Negro, I realized that something was wrong. You could see a small green island in the center of the riverbed. A giant river, which at times is able to emulate the vastness of an ocean, seemed to be dry in the middle. I started asking questions and soon learned that the region is experiencing the worst drought in recorded history. Drought so big that people started to walk in the bed of these rivers just because, well managed. A drought that has channel funds and covered by dense vegetation on the sides turn a kind of doomsday scenario. The boat that would take me until Maués reached by that river. Anchored half a mile from the border. Only one boat could pass through a foot deep margins and drive you to the boat, the more there in between the River. It was like being in a movie. It was an unbelievable feeling. A melancholy seemed to take account of the huge river. The little water that there was enough for boats to navigate, but very carefully. The road Maués lasted about fifteen hours. As we left early in the evening, I planned to catch the sunrise the next day. I woke before the alarm sounds and went to the third floor of the boat, a luxury boat for freshwater, with about two dozen cabins with bathrooms, chef and own jacuzzi at the top, and stood there waiting for the darkness disappear. When the sun rose, we were already on the Solimões River. We stayed there for a short period and then flow into Maués-açu, the river that took us Maués. Compared to Rio Negro, Solimões seemed to be completely filled, the water reached to the banks and not seen the green islands in its bed. But with a little attention could see that the damage had come there as well: the water lapped at the edges but down there. A margin that was two or three feet high from the water, now had ten or fifteen feet.

 Even with the dry river, the sun can be unbelievable. Maués is a typical town in the interior of the region. Guarana move both financially and culturally to the region and Maués focus on large and medium producers, as well as factories and farms of AmBev, which produces the classic Guarana Antarctica. The festival takes place every year Guarana at the peak of harvest, when farmers are already able to project how it will be the harvest of the year and say if, after all, that was a good year or not. Three days of celebration, in which dance groups and theater in the city enact long pieces about the legend of guarana. The pieces are dull, as you might expect from the historical production of the inner city. But as the actors dance. Wow. I knew the photographer accompanying us that the main character of the play is interpreted by the same woman for years. This woman dances and plays like no tomorrow. If you watched the long cycles of dance pieces, it was because of her. It was something that clashed with everyone, his movements had a firmness and lightness that seems impossible to achieve when they dance. In her face, beneath a thick layer of makeup, I could see the light gnashing of teeth that she did. Few women dance like her, I can say.

The woman who danced like no other woman has ever danced (holding child).

The woman who danced like no other woman has ever danced. The party itself suffers from a schizophrenic feature of these celebrations, local bands playing covers strangers, then enters a DJ who can go in a psy forró the exchange band and there is a local band that sings traditional ancient songs over a batucada insane, a rock band takes the stage and make more covers, followed by a band of forró. All natural and mixed. As the party is assembled on the riverbank, one gets the whole time treading the sand and the view alternating between the stage and the dark river behind us. On the second day of celebration I did not want to see more shows or go there. I decided to stay on the boat and, by far, just listen to the bands playing. As the boat was stocked with beer and soda, I've gotten a little cooler and took it to the side of the jacuzzi. Only the sky above the Amazon and around me. The music could be bad, but the timing was good.
That's why I made this trip to find myself among the world's greatest forest in a boat drinking beer in the jacuzzi during the worst drought the region has already suffered. A moment that should not have lasted for one hour. But until today, writing this, I can recall the smallest details and sensations.

Scenario in which I contemplated all my insignificance before the universe. When you find yourself alone in the middle of something vast, there are not many options but to enjoy and meditate as you feel. And so I did.

The Dirty Truth About Women And Money

"Give me an evening or Bruno Marrone, Gino and Geno, Leonardo Daniel, or for you to see ... or all at the same time [ok, she did not say that, but it would be funny]. Becomes pregnant at the time and the living pension for life. "
. When it comes to an end

Goalkeeper Bruno and Elizabeth Samudio were destroyed and annihilated by frivolous interests, either one or the other may consider their lives as the known closed. You followed the case with growing horror, as I do, Cinderella's hot as hell, I had the same ambition of the friend I mentioned above. My friend has the dream of conceiving a frontiersman, Eliza was intended to conceive of a football player.
It was known as the circle of sportsmen who gave the tasty soft for anyone who dressed his shoe and had six digits on your bank account. She was hot, I knew I was, and used it to them, see the porn movies that bomb after she died. Besides, who is the patient who can hit a mine knowing that there turned ration Rottweiler? Creed.
Both Eliza did that conceiving a - forgive me the words through aggressive - stupid, jerk, jerk and slob who fell to the oldest trick women: the stroke of the belly. No, folks, seriously even today there are still rich and stupid guys that much?
Under normal circumstances, it would end the long-awaited pension and him with a deadly hatred (directed at the girl and himself, for being so stupid) and the novel encerraríamos there. Unfortunately, the "greedy" messed with the wrong guy, and she ended up eating the grass roots and he a prisoner, another that will see the sunrise square for a long time, over a cold and ruthless killer in the huge list that goes since Genghis Khan until the next horrific murder that we follow in the Journal of eight. What a couple more promising <3
Neither was a saint and neither of them had good intentions, but on the outcome of the story, I venture to say they were two poor souls, each trying to resolve the situation as best for himself while he could injure another . As the outcome, the two ended up taking a "If you fucked!" Well rounded as the end point in their lives. Prize "The wisest of 2010" for both.
I digress, let me not divert from the main subject. 
 I got what you want 

Men not only want pussy and they want one that is completely clean, fragrant, juicy and tasty. There are men and women, but they all want to be with a woman they find tasty. Women dating men who do not even find it so beautifully like this, because we give more emphasis to the sense of security that men who give us the beauty itself.
Another friend spent time genuinely in love with a chubby bald head than in our female reuniõezinhas won the affectionate nickname of "Shrek. I myself - not exactly an Eva Mendes, but you can walk hand in hand with me without embarrassment - I spent some time crying for a boy nicknamed for the same reuniõezinhas Seboso. The two beautiful, popular, independent ... and whining by clunkier. For the record, the purchasing power of the two was not much larger than ours, none came even close to being rich.
Here, let me tell you a dirty little secret. You know that crap in the end, what women want ", the Globe? All bullshit drama, melodrama romancesco. The women really want is a father. Not the biological father (er ... at least I hope so), but a father figure to give affection, attention and especially protection, all this adds up to a prick alegrinha and well prepared and, preferably, the size of a Red Bull, give us a pat on the ass when we are bad girls.
Gee, will say tha 'know any that does not like mine? If you know, that there is a rare exception that did not get in childhood. Freud must explain.
I said "father," not "grandfather". 

 Rare are the men who are not seduced by hot women. Are very few women who are not seduced by men to promote safety and protection. Want another secret? The easiest way to prove you're a powerful guy who will protect your nymph of the hardships of life, is by way of purchasing power. I said "easier", not "the one", see?
Therefore, it is pertinent to recall here that if women sin by interest, men sin by pride. It will say that if you had enough money, you would not want to parade around in an Aston Martin stuffed Paniquetes drinking Blue Label? If I were Marilyn Monroe, diamonds would also require as my best friends. And if you could afford to give diamonds to a woman, I'm sure not going to be Creide manicure.
Now given to understand my point of view? Oh, I'm feeling the candid feeling that there is a God who planned everything perfect way ... ok, now. Our interests are complementary, Beibei. Scratch my back I'll scratch yours.
But then pear aê, I know you can not be reduced to one being led by the head of his stick. At least not a priori ... I think. If I ask you: between one and a normalzinha babes, who would you prefer?
    "Ah, depends on the character of the girl, right? The whole of the work.
The same goes for instant cash. And to big penis. Diamonds are girl's best friend?
I will not lie: a guy who gives me diamonds, surely you can suck my soul a la Shang-Tsung. Of course, I receive a diamond guy is as far as you parade around in a V8 stuffed Paniquetes. If we put my foot in and your reality, I can only tell you one thing: the woman who prioritizes the money for a guy to relate to animals is one of the most scrotum there. If the mine only speaks to you pay you drink, get out. But do not deny that it is delightful to go out with a guy who pays you a beer once in a while.
If you are foot-shaven and ugly, will hardly be able to get anything but fat slapper and needy. In its ugliness I can not help much, but have their own graninha facilitates all your life, including pick up women. It will be very difficult to see a cat with a broken completely. To catch a mackerel that if she has the equipment to catch a salmon?
My mother always tells me that women have two opportunities to get rich: when born and when they marry. Dei chance in the cradle, but I still have a shot to give. Get rich working for me, no way, after all, I'ma teacher. You may laugh. 

It is clear that Anna Nicole Smith, former Playmate, fell in love with the character of Marshall. The guy own a bunch of oil or influence. 

I can conclude the following: we are young, healthy and smart. He works there to get rich while I work out until it becomes a fruit-woman to secure my big fish, since character and good head I already have. If you turn the Bruce Wayne in the meantime, do not forget to call me.

Boigny: Dr. Drinks teaches a 3 color martini against Ivory Coast + Promotion

We pass through North Korea. There was even a struggle, but I confess I always expect much from the selection canary, even playing against an Asian team.

It is an indication that times have changed. Football has changed and today, unfortunately, is passing and running, no more dribbling handsome, mischievous touch heel. I can not remember how many years I do not see a bicycle goal, has anyone noticed?


But it all has a reason for being: the European teams working with high performance culture is much more science than art. As our best players will inevitably play in those parts, logically soon not see the difference between the Brazilian who played barefoot in the slum and a blonde with blue eyes who played in the neighborhood soccer field.

Football outbursts aside, some things still bring me a happiness almost childlike. One is to make drinks for my friends in the days of games. I enjoyed playing with the guys in the headquarters of PdH. It was a lively session of drinks. And another is to see our work recognized in this column.

One of the biggest awards came from our great partner in Camiseteria opportunity to invite us to launch a special series of shirts designed exclusively for the World Cup. For this to have more sense nothing better than to abuse the creativity and create drinks with the colors of the flags of Brazil's opponents. Thankfully, at least in Round 1 Brazil did not play with any country flag striped ...
Dr. Boigny's Drinks Recipe

As the flag of Ivory Coast has three colors, we need to drink a little better. To have a killer look, that would set a martini.

The great secret of this drink is to work with different densities of drinks with flavors that marry well with each other and have the colors green, white and orange. So I decided to mix the sour Appletini with a full-bodied texture of the cream and the acidity of grapefruit juice or grapefruit.

To make Boigny, you will need:

* Glass of martini
* Ice
* Cocktail
* Gin
* Green Apple Syrup
Triple sec *
* Cream of milk
* Grapefruit juice (also known as grapefruit)

Put ice in martini glass and let the freezing while preparing the first layer of the drink. For the first layer put ice in a shaker, add half an ounce (1 / 2 oz = 30ml) of gin, 10 ml of syrup with green apple and a quick launch of triple sec. Beat well, remove the ice from the bowl and serve strained. Is ready to drink the first layer.

For the second layer, pour the cream gently making a thin layer on the basis of the Appletini. Use a spoon with my back and go serving so the cream run down the edge of the bowl, taking care not to smudge the edge, but disrupts the third color.

Served in the cream, go to the third layer: serves gently grapefruit juice (grapefruit) on the cream to complete the bowl.

The look of this drink is extremely interesting because it has three colors of the flag of the Ivory Coast. The complexity of flavors and experience that provides the mix of textures in the mouth was something that caught my attention when he created it. For well you enjoy all of this is very important that the drink is taken correctly. The martini glass looks small, but it is a lot of drinking - most have between 120 and 180 mL, and how not to use ice in this cup, this is a considerable amount of liquid. Since we do not use ice, you can not take much to drink, then the correct way is to take a martini sipping it in great gulps, because that is what will cause the layers to mix the drink only in your mouth.

The result of that experience comes in the form of staff: "Sensational."
