but isent the point of artist on this site to make effects to spoon feed to n00bz?

No. lol
Just because there are a lot of younger magicians on this site doesn't make what the artist's do worthless, which is what's implied by the tone.
Theory 11 is a big thing - I was discussing this earlier with a guy in fact.
The social aspect of the site is phenomenal, when I was like 12-15 or whatever I had NO ONE to speak to about magic really - I just had to make my own journey on my own. It was the same with a lot of people before places like this came about, there's the cafe, which I frequent, but it can be quite intimidating for a younger magician, I used find it that way.
This place is a GREAT place to be. The staff are incredible in both talent, creativity and all the effort they put in to treat everyone as a person, rather than a number. I'm sure that they shift high volumes of stuff here, but you can still have conversations with the guys and know that they'll help you to the extent of their power.
As for the disrespect toward the artist's work, I know a few of the guys on the team and this is stuff that they use in their working repertoires, this is the stuff that gets them gig after gig, That's the point of it isn't it?
For someone to teach you new techniques, handlings and ideas to go out and amaze people, if you're a working magician it's to pay the bills!
I sound like a true fan boy of this place, but believe me, there's much worse things to be.
