Oh yes it definitely is, many thanks to the wonderful invention of the internet.

And I'm a facebook person myself, sorry

Yeah, magic is advancing pretty quickly through the internet. This is why sites like Theory11 have started to higher the bar of good magic.

And I am a facebook person too, sorry.

I think magic is advancing too quickly and at an unctrollable rate. The vast numbers of people who do it for a while, then quit to go do skateboardng or something "cooler" than magic, are crazy. While the people like me who have a true love for the art are relatively few.

It's been bugging me recently- all the direspect I've seen recently towards artists, fellow members, and magic in general lately around forums. Not just on theory11, mind you. I'm thinking of writing a small essay/rant on it, so you may want to keep your eye out for that.

I just think that if people want to be in this art, they should have to work harder for it. That way the losers who learn from YouTube exposure videos will weed themselves out.

I could go on and on...

Agreed! Although I think the real issue is artist moving from trick to trick so quickly that there isn't any room for creativity. Its sad when a select few are the only ones creating new material or ideas. I've seen it hundred times on here before with people asking "Does this look like a good amount of tricks to make a routine"? And it follows with, Stigmata, bullet, Control, etc; The point in being that the real question should be "What is it that your doing to really create a series of tricks that coincide with each other and tell a story"?

I think the advancement and growth of magic really lies in those who take their time with each and every effect.
