From memory, I believe that it was said at time of release that the USPCC version was of a lower quality.

Just be careful Theatrehead and magicfreak667, I've heard that internet romances don't work out :P My actual reason for posting here: John Cornelius :)

And the child of the year award goes to...

Just posting a quick note to say that I think I've said all that I feel needs to be said in defense of Paul, in my mind justifiably so, and will participate no further in this thread. I stand by what has previously been said, and continue to believe strongly in defending whomever I respect...

Bijlogg, I completely agree - but I think it does good for a magician to think about the topic and decide for themselves anyway. Even if they never use said sleight, again, as you said, however it's defined, we need more people to think about magic in general.. Besides which, I don't think the...

Takes two morons to tango, and I only see one. Besides, I at least am, for one, quite happy to defend someone I respect.

I'll let you know when I judge my popularity based on what anonymous people on a magic forum think. (i.e. when my maturity becomes that of a six year old) And I'll let you know when I actually care about what you perceive as my popularity. And I think that's a ridiculous suggestion. I have a...

The motion of "lol" is seconded. I can't tell what your point is from the first half of that paragraph. All I can say, from what little I can understand, is that yes, I'm protecting the idea of selling magic. I can't say much more than that because it doesn't make any sense to me, but I would...

Yeah, like that Dai Vernon guy. How dare he release his material for money? And Theory11, what horrible tools. They should all be shot for releasing material to magicians. Sorry, that comes off as more sarcastic than I intend; I don't mean to be sarcastic towards you, and I don't mean any...

My current care factor upon reading this is smaller than a midget.

I disagree, the routines of most professionals I see have a reason. Watch Eric Mead perform for example, or read about Chuck Hickok's routine. They both are great examples of magicians/mentalists respectively whose routines are well thought out and of the highest calibre. And they make logical...

HCE, I'd buy for that much. Superfly, not so much o.O I wonder if it will sell.. How much was it when it was being sold legally anyway? In any case, the issue of magic over eBay is a hotly contested one..

Wait, you're complaining that possibly one of the best working mentalists today is marketing his routines? Why shouldn't he sell his routines? Why do you go to work? Money. Does that mean I shouldn't respect you? Why does anyone release magic? Of course money will be a factor. Money was a...

No, I agree with D ICE R on this one. Keep in mind that this is only from the perspective of a mentalist. It's like asking someone to think of a shape, and rearranging vegetables on a plate to form the shape. Why vegetables? So again D ICE R is asking: why water and a napkin? The point of mind...

I don't believe it ever did, G.

Touché. [Word Count]

Didn't your cards warp epicly from being so high up? lol.

Exhibit B.

Have you ever seen Paul Vigil perform, or performed any of his material? Paul is the furthest thing you can get from a "scandalous idiot", believe me. His material is ALL top class, amongst the best and most consistent in terms of releasing material. The more I think about it, the more I'm...

Planting it is probably the best way to go. The appearance of impromptu and all. Otherwise, it's kinda like... "Pick a card, Sir..." "And now, to take out this napkin that I just happen to keep in my wallet at all times, like all normal people..." Well, exaggeration, but you get the point.
