P & T called it: the comic magician is often attempted and often falls flat, you are accomplishing something amazing.

What comedians or comedy media are you, personally, a fan of?

Except that's not what he says in the film (did you watch it?). What Freeman talks about is some notional concept of "cerebral capacity." This is a meaningless concept that as far as I'm concerned the film and Freeman's character are free to define as they wish. He does not say "10% of the neurons" or even "10% of our brain." At all.

In other words, it's a perfectly reasonable notion to me that humans only 10% of their "cerebral capacity" to affect the world, or whatever.

If your product is indistinguishable from natural rhino horn, how will law enforcement catch people trading in the illegal natural product? For example, how will the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service Forensics Lab determine that someone is guilty of selling natural rhino horn?

This has always been my thought.

Whatever quality its users want from rhino horn, it's not wholly chemical. I can't believe that people who want to pay a large amount for mystical folk remedies are going to be satisfied with anything artificial, no matter how good a copy.

On the other hand, humanely harvested rhino horn allows the animal to regenerate the horn (which happens surprisingly quickly) and is undeniably "genuine." I don't understand why a legal trade in harvested rhino horn hasn't been a more popular idea.
