If you're in the US, you can use a proxy.

The best Derren Brown trick was when he predicted the lottery after the numbers had been drawn! It was amazing! 8O

Anybody remember the guy who called himself "The Amazing Randi?" That guy was the best. Dare I say better than Houdini? Okay, maybe not better really, but very different. He never put on a show of things. Never used theatrics except as demonstrations of how others performed the illusions he did. He actually SHOWED how he did his tricks. He went straight up against several well known supposed psychics, and was never stumped by any of them. He could duplicate every trick, though the "psychics" would always deny using any of the methods he used.
