I found most of his tricks overly obvious. There is no greatness in being fast, if the illusion isn't also effective.

I think the article should mention Klok is gay and that (and why) he's pretending to be heterosexual. Generally speaking, there's no need for articles about people to go into this. However, Klok has intentionally, flat-out been lying about his sexual preference in interviews and such. In the Netherlands he has openly admitted to lying about his preference for commercial/contractual reasons, but on for example the Howard Stern interview with him and Pamela Anderson, he just lies, lies, lies. For 40 minutes, Stern asks about if they kissed or made out, why Anderson and Klok didn't have sex yet, and he just lies, on and on. "The rumors of his supposed romance with Anderson made headlines in his native country, where it is common knowledge that he is gay. Klok later admitted in a "QVegas Magazine" interview that the rumors were a publicity ploy and that he had been in a relationship with partner Frank for 16 years."[1] --82.170.113.123 (talk) 03:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing like using a talk page for one's random rants. --Bddmagic (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deserves to be done. a biography section shouldn't be some play-by-play-by-play of everywhere he's been, every place he's performed Metamorphosis, etc. etc. --Bddmagic (talk) 16:36, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and that's why I moved it back to the version of the article as it was back in early May 2012, before a certain other editor got their hands on it. Unfortunately, there's another editor out there who thinks differently and reverted my edit back to the other poor-quality version as criticized above. So, the question is which version do people think is better, the 8 May 2012 version by "Gidz" or the play-by-play version started by "92.66.152.58" and perpetuated now by "Signalizing"? I know which I think is better, and that's why I moved it back to the "Gidz" version and added a few new bits to it. 2.31.5.175 (talk) 23:59, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My revision was in error, and I apologize to 2.31.5.175 for the mistake made. I didn't even realize I reverted until after he/she brought it to my attention on my talk page.
