How so? (Sincerely asking.) B

Who made it?

Why not? Exposure has historically been a hot and important topic in our art. If people feel that someone has engaged in that practice, it is worth discussion. Brad

I can only judge you by your words. It is clear from them that you are a die hard E apologist. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. It's ok to embrace it for what it is. But let's stay on topic. You made, I presume, an analogy between E's direction and the work of P&T. Some have commented...

You are over reaching. There is no witch hunt if there is no exposure. We can argue if what E is doing constitutes an exposure or not. You accuse people of being quick to judge E, but you are equally as quick to assume that any criticism of E is unfounded. B

How can you compare what P and T do to what E does. How are they even remotely the same situation? B

Can you give an example of this in our world specifically, or is this just something you believe based on your own feelings? B

Personally, I do not think that books in libraries constitute exposure. However, your original post stated the requirement that one pay for the DVD or book they learned from. That was my question about your position. So paying is not a requisite - but effort. Unfortunately, by that standard...

Once again, Steer, you prove that you have very little experience outside of your own little fish bowl. The fact is, time and time again, someone posts this exact same example on some message board completely FREE of sarcasm. If you wallow in the mud with pigs, you should expect to be treated...

Penn and Teller are not "exposers." While their PR might lead you to believe that, they do not expose methods to magic tricks other than those which they have created. Let's at least pick an appropriate example next time. Brad Henderson

Only when it's true. B

Public libraries are FREE. No cost for the card. No cost to check out the book. Does that change anything? B

Just to make this more fun: Would going to a library to check out a book on magic constitute exposure?

Hocus Pocus. Denny and Lee have an online shop. H and R Magic Books. Brad Henderson

There is a difference between teaching and exposure. Let's say you came to me and asked how to saw someone in half. You do not own the props, not do you have access to the technical needs for performance (stage, etc.) If I were to tell you, that is exposure. No skill is communicated and that...

It's an interesting question for a couple of reasons: This is the first time a magic company has sponsored a TV show. If this ends up being a money maker, it may lead to greater involvement of magic companies possibly leading to more magic shows on TV. Second, money generated by magic on...

There is a great book on these subjects called "Free Culture." Believe it or not, if a company wanted to go after you for using their cards in a video, they potentially could. They could argue that their copyrighted artwork (the cards) is protected and would require their permission in order to...

It's way to soon for their to be any affect. It took Criss Angel about 2 seasons before he became someone that people would mention at shows I would do. I would wait until the end of the series before drawing any conclusions about how it has affected anything from the real world. B

Of course manipulation can be presented as art. However, like magic, the manner in which it is most often portray, isn't. I was one of the early people to connect with De'Vo. I thought what he was trying to do motivated, intentional, and exploring the medium of movement via cards. It had the...

What price do you put on the ability to share something wonderful with everyone you meet? How much money do you stand to make from using these ideas? How much happiness do you stand to get out of performing these ideas? If you performed any one of these tricks just once a year for the...
