you are great magician

Hi Ellen,
You did it!! with a lot of hard work and either luck or God, you have become very successful! You make people laugh and feel better about themselves. You have achieved every goal you set for yourself...now what can You possibly want that you don't have? You married the love of your life, you have your own TV show, you have done numerous commercials, you are a Cover Girl, you live in a nice warm state, you are on American Idol. There are millions of people that have tried as hard as you but have not achieved anything. I have tried for goals in my life but luck seems to pass me by. So, I sometimes wonder, what does a person who has everything, possibly have to dream of getting in life? I know you can not possibly read all your emails nor respond to all of them, so, if you need to hire someone who can help you, I am very much available. Having been a "house wife" for over 25 years, and turning 52 tomorrow, I would have a better chance of being hit by lightening than finding a decent paying job. Presently living in NY, I have had thoughts of moving to the Burbank CA area or in your garage. ;) Everyone needs someone to look up to, and i look up to you and when I blow out the candle on my cupcake alone tomorrow, I will be watching your show. I am alone in NY with a mobile home I am trying to sell and buy one down there so I can move to Hampton Virginia to be near my children and their families, as that is where my family has moved to. I miss them all so much, especially when birthdays come and I can not afford to hop in my car and drive 8-10 hours to visit them. Life seems so empty without the sounds of children. On a better note, Happy Easter and stay happy! We all need you! :)

My boyfriend's friends dad does that story telling card trcik. The first time I saw it I was amazed. the last time he was in town my boyfriend taped it so now we have it on tape. I still don't know how he does its. I taped your show every day and when James did this card trick I saved the tape so my boyfriend could watch it. I would love to forward it onto our friends dad so he could watch it. It's just an amazaing story card trick.

Hi Ellen! I love working outside (it's been a very long winter) but I always stop before 3 pm when your show starts here in Omaha! Some days I even have a glass of wine and of course toast you! I loved the magician, he was awesome. I also like the audience talent shows. You give people a chance to show their families how talented they are on naitonal tv. I also think you're the bomb for putting the idol performers on your show. Have you thought about a production company for the singers and other talent you see?? You are the woman of gold! Everything you touch turns to gold Ellen. You are so wonderful, you are definitly a ray of sunshine. Lots of Love, Julie

Wow! Ellen the look on ur face! It was priceless!I love ur show & look forward to it every day u r on. ur an amazing woman & the things u do 4 people JUST AMAZE me!I just turned 55 yrs. old this yr.& I was born in 1955. I take care of my 98 yr.old aunt & had to sacrifice & change my life to take care of her but it is all worth it! I rescue pit bulls in my area where I live which is BatTle Creek, MI. I moved back to my family home where I was born & raised a big part of my life. I bought out my brother & sister to have the family home to give my mother her wish when she was dying. My Aunt Bea (her name is Vera but as kids we couldn't say Vera) so she got her nickname Bea. So ur show is for "MY TIME" & it helps me feel so good again about life & the crazy things u do on ur show that makes me laugh heartily. Thank u 4 u! I'm so happy 4 u & the wonderful life u get to have & share w/Portia. U r a lucky person to have what u got & be able to share with someone u love & loves u AWESOME! I need to write u more which I will again. My pit bull that turned 3 in Dec. was killed in Jan. & I had him since he was 4 wks. old. I took it very hard & I miss that dog very much he was a red nose and the bond we had was a trip. I'll share w/u next time I hit u up & explain what all happened. It was just not right! But ur show really has helped me get through the days w/out him. I thank u 4 that!!Stay being U and don't EVER change! Adios. I hope u read this it would make my day! Ol'Girl:)

I tried to get tickets for the ellen show and every time I went to that site My computer froze. I only live here in Fort myers just 4 hours away. It's not my fault this was happening. I wish I could get another chance to get tickets for the Orlando show.

My exboyfriend has done that "magician's" trick for years. The last time I ran into him, I asked him to do the card story trick and he still remembers and does it just as well.

That card routine was created by Bill Malone. He didn't create the moves but rather the idea that the cards could be used to tell a story. Bill Malone is one of the magic community's finest card men and a very funny man. James very nicely tailored the story to suit his own style.... two thumbs up. Thank you Ellen for supporting magic!!!!!!

I know a local bar owner that has shown us this trick numerous times, it is amazing and it always blows us away not knowing how he does it. Every time we go to the bar we ask him to show us the trick again and again and again, and each time it always works...AMAZING!! It was neat seeing someone else do the trick.

I love card tricks!!!

I shall wrap up in my blanket as I watch! But for now I am posting pre-view-VCR tape! I haven't seen this trick yet but wanted to ask.....

Did you watch the premier of "Win it in a Minute" that aired this past Sunday on CBS? (i think I don't really remember what channel.. maybe NBC?) The first contestant got to level 6 and she had to blow on a deck of cards blowing all onto the floor except the last card which was the jack. She couldn't do it. She used up all her 3 lives. That looked hard. That to me is a card trick too!!!!

*******Tonight is American Idol!!!!!!!!!!!

I was happy to see that this card trick was not only amazing but funny too. I mostly appreciated the way it was done with the story and humor. I think that people need to live more in the day and what can make someone happy! He was truly an outstanding performer today on the Ellen show. Thanks again!

Thank you Ellen for having some magicians on the show! I love the magic, and you are personally helping a dying ART-FORM!

This is such an old trick. Bill Malone has already done this YEARS ago. He was FUNNY!

Also on youtube there are tons of people who do this. But this guy's version of it was ok. In my opinion, I like Bill's alot better. Just dont think this guy was the first one to do it.


HE IS GORGEOUS OMG!!!

Ellen you should make children "ellen" clothes i would love to get my son some of your boxers

That was AMAZING!!!

He was good but nothing on Shawn Farquhar. You need to have him back.

HE WAS REALLY AWESOME!! I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!
