Double stick tape

I have a cool effect in which i want to utilize and perform, however i don't want to be like everyone else. I try to do something different . I just want to know even though the concept. has been used. Can it be done in other effects? What i'm asking is can i use it in a totally different way??? Is that acceptable??? If so be looking out for this effect.


I will fill you in on the details. Just contact me on any of the info below.
 
Sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to say here...if you try to re-word that more clearly someone might be able to help.
 
I am not sure, but I think Cedric is trying to ask if he can use methods that have already been created in his own effects. Sort of like using someone else's gimmick in a completely different way.

Is that what you mean?
 
Yeah, absolutely. It's very hard to create something completely new that's never ever been seen before. Almost all the work today is based on something previous, and even if not, it's likely to have been influenced by something else. As long as you have obtained the right to use the method, and credit the original source of the method in your new effect (if you publish it or make a video of it), that should be ok.
 
good luck putting one of ur ideas up for sale its tough but easy at the same time a kid a grew up with is also a magician Joe russel look how popular he is for changing the twisted arm illusion hahaha i hate where magic is going these days!!!!!!!!!!!!
