I'm suprised that advertisers would be paying much, considering how little TV coverage he seems to get. (Or do I just not watch enough TV?)
Yes, the water stuff, and this animal thing are stunts. But he also does slight of hand card tricks, and the whole levitating thing. He is an illusionist...but while he's definitely very skilled at the slight of hand, he's not particularly imaginiative in his tricks, imo.

And I don't have a problem with the stunts themselves. I mean, Houdinni did the same sh!t. It's just his ridiculously smug attitude, and the fact that he seems to like to cultivate the belief that he really is magical, not just an illusionist that bug the snot outta me.
