Shiro Ishida is a magician from Taiwan (now, I'm not sure why he has a Japanese name though).
Lately, Shiro Ishida has released his new DVD at Taiwan. However, I was very surprised to see the materials that were being taught in this dvd after I watched its trailer.

At time 0:39, Shiro is performing Indecent of Wayne Houchin. I thought that particular trick was not taught in his dvd; but I realized I was wrong after I read the dvd description in his site.

For those who can not read Chinese, at section 2 "白魂不散 Shiro's Ambitious Card Routine", you can see "牌入密封袋 (Wayne Houchin & Houdini)"
"牌入密封袋" means "card in the ziploc bag". Even though the credit was given to Wayne, I was wondering if he actually got the permission from Wayne to teach his trick.
Other sleights such as Ego change, Jones change...etc. are also being taught in this dvd. Although Jones Change is freebie, is it even ethical to do so?
This is his official site http://www.shiro-magic.com/Newdefault.asp
