How about everybody stop hating on the guy and give him credit for a nice video with some nice effects. Every magician/ artist/ actor has learned from someone just beacause you do panic just like arron fisher doesent mean you want to be him or are trying to be and even if you are so the F what!? DM is an awesome magician why wouldent you want to be like him? Every single magician is an actor of sorts why not emulate one of the best? It obviosly is working for this guy beacuse his flourishes are spectacular. This may sound like a dumb generalzation but it would be my guess that everyone that responded negativly to this video is under 18 and not as skilled with cards and is simply jelous dont be so quick to judge when you know nothing about this person other than he is doing magic that is similar to other great magicians grow up and look in the mirror haters

Maybe he's just naturally like D+M. Probably not, but you never know. A few weeks ago I was performing some magic for my best magic friend. He was impressed since he's pretty new. At the end he said, "Great job man, you're a lot like Wayne Houchin." I looked in the mirror and noticed that he was right. I stopped the way I was performing and changed myself for a while. I recently posted a video of me not being myself, and trying not to be like Wayne Houchin. Everyone told me I was trying to be Criss Angel. I looked at the video again, and they were right. I went back to being myself. I like it a lot better. I just happen to perform like Wayne Houchin. Maybe that's the case here. I doubt it though. This video looks exactly like the dangerous trailor.
Wayne...I mean Criss...I mean Dave. Yep that's it...Dave
Dave...id Copperfield

It is a dumb generalization. For example, I am over 18, and am not jealous that he can flourish, because I don't find flourishing interesting or entertaining. And you know, if I were jealous of someone's ability with cards, there's other people I'd pick to be jealous of.
We're not just going to be nice and tell him he did a good job if he didn't. He doesn't get a reward just for putting something out there. Why should we?
It's hard to give him credit for a nice video with nice effects because he doesn't deserve that credit: Daniel does. He didn't come up with it, he just copied someone else. You don't praise someone for stealing.
There is also a difference between inspiration and outright character theft. If the dude's inspired by Daniel Madison, then that's cool - we're all inspired by someone. But, one, it's obvious he really likes Daniel Madison, and it's also obvious he is blatantly copying him here - and yes, it is a problem. You ask, "So the F what!", like we jumped on the guy and started attacking him - no, he put the video up here and asked us what we thought. We are thus allowed to tell him what we thought. I don't understand why this is confusing to you.
You also ask, "Why wouldn't you want to be like Daniel?", and I'll tell you, for my part: because I don't want to be like another magician. I want to be me. And I would think that that would be any other magician's (if not any other person's) goal.
Ironic. (just messin' with you, Vis. But it really is. But I'm just kidding.)
Here I am. *Spikes hair and dons Leathers*

I'm waiting for a Dan Sperry look-alike.
If you perform like Wayne, then don't just accept that or try to be something else. Take those little differences that you have and make them show a bit more. Exaggerate those differences that separate you from everyone else. I highly doubt that you perform like Wayne, not because you're bad, but because Wayne puts sooo much thought into everything he does in terms of presentation.
Back on topic. No matter how good a video is, and I must say I sometwhat enjoyed it, no one will respect you for it if you rip off someone else's ideas. Like I mentioned above, even if you naturally perform like someone else, then find those subtle differences in your own character, strengthen them, and make yourself unique. I know for a fact that there will be something different and you should explore those other sides of your character. However from what I can tell, you have little to no character of your own.
Thank you for that, I just try to be myself now. Sometimes I'm David Blaine, sometimes I'm David Copperfield. I just perform the way I fell comfortable.
Where is Dontavious?
its not hard to just be oneself.
Dont concern yourself with thinking that your acting like a certain person.
How about everybody stop hating
