As someone who knew Ian Channell at university, I'll mention two things about him, the first is his overwhelming enthusiasm for whatever he's involved in; second, he attempts to get people to think outside the box and to figure things out for themselves (remember he used to be a uni lecturer). He'd often say that anally-retentive thinking was a major problem with the world. So don't be fooled into thinking that his true persona is what he's demonstrating during his wizard performances. His seemingly outrageous hyperbole is deliberately meant to make you think. The world needs more people like him.
