It has a K in it, doesn't it?
- Very important topic.
- Dan's video, please?
- I didn't know that Joshua is one of the founders of Vanishing INC.
- Well, Theory11 absolutely do not need to clarify this kinda thing, their trailers are too honest even if the trailer didn't have much info you will definitely will find more in the description.
- There is only one company that uses misleading trailers A LOT I don't want to mention names but it starts with an S.

I didn't meant that you did accused them or anything at all, I'm sorry about that.I spent a while trying to find this video they talked about on Dan's FB account. but I couldn't find it. In case it was seen this way I did not make this to accuse T11, I just thought it was relevant to the magic community.
Actually, NoIt has a K in it, doesn't it?
Thanks a lot!Sooo yeah here is the Dan video
I think that this is a great video. However due to the excessive profanity I think a warning (on the video or the post that has the link) could be used to warn children and others who cannot stand it.@Bryant_Tsu after what you said I realized something. One of the forum rules says "We understand that times are changing, but please try to keep profanity down to an absolute minimum. Certainly no S-Bombs. Definitely no F-Bombs.". If someone educated in the ways of this forums (a moderator or such) can answer: How does that apply to videos like this? Should they not be posted anymore? Or with a warning?
If I understood Dan's rant, there will be no flak for angle sensitive, or relatively unpractical tricks as the magic community has had their expectations lowered.I think what may help is if we WAIT for reviews of new magic tricks. If they are bad, they get called out immediately. And you get to know the flaws immediately.

By "lowered standards" I am referring to a large amount of new magicians that are content with tricks that cannot be used off camera. If magicians are okay with only presenting on camera and there is not as many who want to perform live, that is a problem. You mentioned webcam magicians needing to establish themselves, and the point is most people on Instagram that post magic videos aren't doing that. The camera angles/lighting enable them to use really impractical tricks that don't really contribute to magic as a whole. Methods are evolving into really elaborate gimmicks and impractical routines that only work under increasingly specific angles and lighting, and cost lots of money to replenish.I don't think that the magic community has 'lowered its standards'. In the past several years, magic has seen an incredible growth of folks who will carry the torch. Because of the overwhelming number of them, they are going to be the ones that get marketed towards. And magic is ALWAYS trying to adapt; case in point: webcam performances.
I bought Decoy after watching this video:the blame is actually on both sides if we didn't pay for these fake stuff they will stop making them, I mean come on if you purchased Decoy or Imprint What are you expecting? of course it's not good live I mean come on guys.
The actual Angle-Z that is not from the Gaff System does not require any re-fills at all. It can be performed anywhere with any deck.Even well received tricks like Angle-Z need company supplied refills to continue performing. Magicians are chained to companies with their wallets.
Nothing is wrong with it, no angle issues, no sleights, no funny stuff. That said you do have to buy refills.May I ask what is wrong with Break?
