Hi HBaker,
This is my domain and I thought your comment was pretty funny!
We will have to wait and see what kind of “magic” will occur around the auction of it, but one thing is for certain – it’s absolutely a premium, blockbuster domain. Recent successes like “The Illusionist”, Mind Freak – Criss Angel, upcoming Celebracadabra on VH1, and others certainly add to its value. My passion is magic (been a magician since a young child) and I am only considering selling at this time to develop a couple other names I own: Magician.com
and Magicians.com
. The reserve is set to attract a serious buyer who can leverage the potential of the name! It also doesn’t hurt that the domain on average earns upper $xxx.xx per month in advertising and rental revenue.
I’m happy to share my insight on the industry and domain to serious bidders.
Magically yours,
Illusionist.com

Ordianry people, domainers, SEOers, PPCers, Googlers & Yahooers … even Jay … underestimate the power of words, and I mean the “.Com Words”, whatever they are. They will always be powerful, as they form the new Internet Dictionary of our choice. The internet is redefinig the dictionary for all of us.

Jay,
I already had my credit card verified and now it is telling me that it is not what kind of business practices are you doing
UPDATE BY JAY: That transaction was declined by the bank.

Maybe Criss Angel will bid $280,000…. and then like the Cowboys say he thought the other zeros were an illusion and really meant to bid $280.

And then maybe some domainers with a trick up their sleeve – and some deep pockets – will come along to save the day!

Hi DT,
Not sure where else to post / ask this… Will this auction have the live UStreamTV feed that you had last time? I can’t seem to find any information about this. Thanks.

Jay,
I have had trouble confirming a submission. Is it because I put two domains on submission line instead of the second one under “lot”. I entered Zianzi.com
/Zionzi.com for awareness that you’d get both for spelling errors. For future submissions, should you only put one name in and the second name as part of the lot. This is happening with another submission of mine done the same way, while all others were moved to pending review.

Hey SteelerFan,
I’ve never done that but it sounds like that’s what is wrong. The engine is most likely trying to parse both names as one and can’t figure them out.
Just do as I do and submit the first name then do the second to the same lot. Make the best of the two the headliner name just in case the don’t see the second name in a quick perusal.
