It was my opinion on De'vo, not a question. So I didn't want your grabbing attention in the first place, just to state my OPINION. And I know that was sarcasm, just so you know :p. haha.

Nobody states an opinion unless they want someone to hear it. And I wasn't being sarcastic. You have my attention, which is what you wanted. What did you plan to do once you got it? What's next?

I don't really know De'vo, but I was the first person to interview him for a major magic media outlet. I also watched this whole notion of "flourishing" take hold as an idea, swell into a movement, and evolve into a mainstream genre.

I can tell you, none of that would have happened had it not been for De'vo. Love him or hate him, without his vision and presence none of this would have turned out or into the thing that it did.

So wait... this book is supposed to be underground, yet it was on a file-sharing site? :confused:

Literally rolls on the floor LAUGHING!

Underground my left foot. Like I stated before, if it's on the internet, it ain't underground.

Haha, yeah... I know! But still, it doesn't make sense. Why release your underground material, if you want it be underground?

Money and I firmly believe underground is slapped on to products to make them seem more exclusive, mysterious, and unknown. What that basically translates into is hype and just the right amount of hype=MONEY.

Devo probably said to bumblebee you have to buy the book cause its underground so he can get some more money in his pocket.

Putting underground on products or something mysterious or the like is just marketing, hype is also marketing, lots of magicians in the past have "hyped" their skills....dont see why its a problem now.

doesn't mean he has to blab on about it 24/7... and anyway, there are only like 10 people left on Handlordz, who haven't been banned or left. I find that so amusing.

People are only against hype when it's used by someone they don't like. They're not against the concept of hype itself, they're just annoyed that some ******* is doing something again.

No one's saying you have to like him as a person.
 
DE’VO’S SECRET BOOKS VOL. 1 ( Second Edition, Hardbound)
De'vo's Secret Books as a project is a 3 volume collection of De’vo’s early underground material from the 1970s to current day. This first release, Volume #1, is a re-release of four of De’vo’s favorite early underground ideas from his early publications. Some of this material has been kept in the underground for more than 20 years! For the first time since the highly underground "Motions" DVD, De’vo is releasing his Motions concept with the basic Motions (S.) routine! The focus of this book is the basics of Motions and could have been its own book, however De’vo decided to include three other items for you to include his legendary "Demon Claw". All items are in their most simple forms, and gives you the ability to come up with your own routines using the ideas and routines contained within. They are all taught in great detail.

De'vo first made 100 "Limited Edition" leather bound books that were sold out in just hours. Occasionally they can be found between $350-$3000 on Ebay if you are so lucky. Because of the huge demand for this rare underground material, De'vo has made 2nd hard bound editions. The initial run of 50 were sold out within 24 hours. More 2nd editions have just arrived and are signed by De'vo himself.

De'vo's Secret Books Volume #1 - 2nd Edition - Price: $85.00 + shipping. Specs - 175 pages- 6 x 9 size. Black and white, hardbound. Only here the books are signed by De'vo himself and can be personalized upon request. And only if you order from us you will receive access to the Secret Books Forum!
