Patton Oswalt's Angry Magician Bit

[Cain]

I saw this awhile ago, got a wild hair up my butt and posted it to another magic related forum (where, naturally, it had already been posted!). Searched this forum, found nothin'.

It's a shame the audio sync gets progressively worse, but still worth the nearly seven minutes of your life.

I liked it. Whilst we're on the subject of comedians and magic, have you ever seen Steve Martins magic act?

That's a classic! Ricky Jay helped him with it.

Hadn't seen either and loved both.

Oswalt's humor slays me. I was crying-laughing. Paraphrasing a few favorite lines from memory:

"They see the badly dressed lesbian in the back, and then...hey...it's just that crappy comedian!"

"...the disaster nightmare seen through a broken mirror of regret."

"I'm just saying, I've seen it done better..."

The Sklar Brothers have a good bit on seeing Lance Burton with their parents.

I like those guys, but I can't find it on the Youtube. Instead I hit upon a bit they have about Criss Angel: "How many abs do you need to freak people's minds?" It's not very good.

Malaka: Those are all good lines, but what his best one: "...like a Tom Waits' song come to life."

I also liked the part where he said that to piss off magician I thought you had to burn down his village or kill his familiar... no, you just have to steal five dollars... 20 quarters... 20 games of Galaga!"

I enjoyed both of those clips very much.
