For Blugiant: Bishop Don Magic Juan

[Tropicana]

You seem to be inclined to give this guy a pass too as he was friends with James Brown. I couldn't believe some of the comments you made.

I don't know much about him. Stumbled across something about the Player's Ball when flipping channels a while back and I was.



Snoop Dogg was on the little that I saw. He always did have a pimpish demeanour. Anway, I changed channels quick quick before mi did



So here is information about Bishop Don Magic Juan. How in the world could you even think about cutting this guy some slack and giving him a pass?

Bishop Don Magic Juan net worth:Bishop Don Magic Juan net worth is $300 thousand. His net worth can be attributed to his being a former pimp,




and of being a Hip-Hop personality as well as fashion designer today.

How can anyone call his clownish outfits fashion?

He is most famous for his former career where he was a pimp, making a name for himself through his various endeavors in the entertainment industry. He had started that career when he was just 16 years old. At that time, he had been impressed by a lot of movies portraying a glamorous image of the pimp lifestyle. At that time, he also had a record store to be used as a front for all his pimping activities.
Don Magic Juan retired from his pimping activities in 1985 due to divine intervention as claimed by him.

So how come he hosts the Player's Ball glorifying pimps?

He has featured in several live rap shows, TV programs, music videos, as well as films. He has featured along with established rappers including Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, as well as Da Brat.

Perhaps this should have gone in faith and reason.

The Cadillac's owner, Bishop Don Magic Juan, pastor of the nondenominational Magic World Christian Kingdom Church,

....is inside Heritage Books & Music to sign copies of his new biography, From Pimp Stick to Pulpit: The Life Story of Don "Magic" Juan. His older sister, Ann Bromfield, is coauthor of the book, published by Vantage Press, a vanity house with an extensive catalog. This is the first appearance the two have made on behalf of their book.

Magic Juan hasn't pimped since 1985, but his style remains the same. "That's just me," he says quietly. "I went through an inner transformation."Several friends and well-wishers have come out, but the atmosphere is subdued. The air is touched with incense, and music plays softly in the background. Voices are hushed, as if this were a library.
A couple enters, and the man halloos, "Hey, is that you?"
Magic Juan hugs him and shakes hands with the woman.

When the couple leaves, Magic Juan says, "That man is one of the most important attorneys in Illinois. His name's Steve. I think his wife's a judge, traffic court or something. I've been knowing him for a long time." He nods.
"Unless God has revealed himself to you, it's difficult to understand a transformation like mine," Magic Juan goes on. "God showed me a vision on February 6, 1985. I was in Hollywood at the time." This was before the Magic time, when he was still Don Juan the pimp. The story recounted in his book is that he'd been staying in an apartment, drinking Champale and smoking PCP and reefer. Even now, years later, talking about the experience puts him on edge.
"I had the most shocking experience of my life. All the years I'd been getting high I never felt anything like it. I saw the police and FBI coming for me, coming through the door. It grew light in the apartment, then it grew dark in the apartment. My niece called me on the phone and I told her, 'I need help, bad.' She said that it was God coming into my life. I wanted God to help me, but I didn't believe in God. I didn't want to be by myself. She said she'd come over, but she never made it. I started crying so hard the tears were coming out of my eyes, mucus was running out of my nose."
He was frantic, so he smoked another joint. But he saw the vision again.
"God revealed to me that it was him breaking into my life. I called the girls the next day and I told them, 'That's it. You don't have to give me money anymore. I've been called by God.' The girls didn't understand. They cried, 'Why didn't God take somebody else?' I told them they could come in the church with me. They followed me, most of them did. But most of them didn't have the same feeling. They tried, but it hadn't happened to them. So some of them left.
"When I was in the life, women meant money to me. That was all I cared about. I studied to be a pimp. I read every book--Iceberg Slim, Donald Goines. These books were about life in the area where I grew up, ghetto life. I was inspired by the dress and the clothes. A book I really loved was Manchild in the Promised Land. That was like my life."
Magic Juan goes on signing books as he talks, signing copies for the store when he isn't signing them for customers. "I was the greatest pimp that ever put a piece of flesh on the corner," he says. "I was voted the number-one pimp in America 13 years in a row. There are organizations, sororities, in all the cities, you know, and they were the ones who voted me number one.

I was in Players Magazine as the number-one pimp in America.

People knew me everywhere. I went to Hawaii--I was popular even there. Don King gave the 'player's ball' for me in Vegas--I think it was in 1978. There wasn't any animosity towards me. All those celebrities you see in the book didn't just pose for pictures. I know those people."
He looks up. "I was in the world's oldest profession, and, you know, many men who haven't actually worked in it have had some involvement in it, usually as johns."

Of course people can get converted but if he has undergone an "inner transformation" why is he still dressing like a pimp and hosting the player's ball to glorify that lifestyle?

Snoop Dogg's Player's Ball 2011
A Benefit For Bishop Don "Magic" Juan
Marbella
December 17, 2011Let's just get this out of the way: It is hard out here for a pimp. That is, if you're Bishop Don "Magic" Juan anyway, a reformed Chicago pimp who became a minister and whose official title nowadays is "spiritual advisor" to Snoop Dogg.

Enough said for in itself.

Only, apparently that gig doesn't come with health benefits; in late August Juan was rushed to the hospital to remove a blood clot in his leg. For this reason the L.A. incarnation of the annual Player's Ball -- the 34th edition -- served as a fundraiser to pay his medical bills.

It was a real life pimps and hoes party, with the men wearing the most colorful, outlandish slap-a-EDIT costumes imaginable, and carrying resplendent bejeweled props. If you didn't have an ostrich feather on your orange sherbet fedora -- or bright green liquer in your 64 ounce pimp cup -- you really didn't fit in. The ladies, meanwhile, favored dresses that covered maybe 3/4 of their EDIT (Some examples below.)

Snoop was practically the first one to arrive to club Marbella, located right in the meat of Hollywood Blvd. Wearing a green cape, he served as MC and whispered into the DJ's ear about what to play

As for Bishop Don "Magic" Juan -- whose real name is Donald Campbell -- he appeared to be in fine health, roaming the party in easily the sharpest pimp suit of them all. (The manknows how to peacock; the feather on his cap was easily a foot long.) Folks paid a $50 entrance fee, and the event was startling for its lack of A) drag queens, who would have fit right in and B) hipsters, who wouldn't have.
A couple of young white guys were dressed to the nines, with canes and chalices, and I couldn't help asking one of them if this was a BYO pimp cup event, or if they were simply being handed out somewhere. "You gots to be official," the guy said
