Here's my latest rant and video posting about Brian Tudor. Would love to hear your thoughts on the guy, in favour of him or against him.

"Silent, still reactions are better than people clapping and cheering for your magic? Yeah, okay. Just because you've never had the latter reaction, it doesn't mean the unimpressed silence that you mistake for awestruck bewilderment is better."
Assumptions, assumptions. Ever seen him perform? Also, you're taking him to literally when he's talking about reactions. I agree with him that a dumbstruck reaction is much more powerful than a laughing and a cheering one. A reaction when they're literally lost for words, like described in AoA.
"The Charlier Cut sucks? Really? Okay, whatever you say. I don't want you to fly out here to battle me in card magic and flourishing... because, in the event that you lost, I wouldn't want the Tudor Thunder brought down upon me. I'm sure I'd be Zipped, Snapped, Inversion-Somersaulted and called a Dumb Motherf***er."
He's saying the charlier cut sucks as a flourish, which it does, compared to most other one handed cuts.
"Isn't it fun to go on angrily ranting about stuff you have no clue about? At least most people as untalented as you know they're untalented. Brian Tudor, I can't imagine what could possibly possess people to think you're any sort of magician or performer. You're like the school yard bully who frightens the lunch money out of his peers. Well, there's no room for you on our playground."
Ok? So you have a clue what Tudor's on about? How do you know there isn't justification behind what he's saying and doing? Have you met the guy? Ever dealt with him? Or are you just making assumptions based on one video where he gets pissed? Have you ever seen him perform to be able to make a judgment on his talent, or are you just assuming that he sucks because he's a bit of a dick in his videos, and you feel like you should be flaming him for it?
I think the guy is skilled, but I think his skill only really serves him. I don't even know what he does on the side to make money. Because his attitude just makes him unappealing to potential clients.
are there actually clients that book "flourishing" acts? i dont care what De'vo says, its not a real marketable skill, its a personal hobby and endeavor that can be used to produce products. Im not knocking flourishing, i love it and enjoy seeing it, but on its own... i dont see it bringing in the cash.
please please please do not say tudor is untalented.... just stop man re-evaluate what you just wrote... tudor has mad chops

Oh I'll respond. I shouldn't NEED to respond. It's a rant.
