Guys, I recently came across a video of Danny's original free trick he was giving away,
here is the video link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKh57QSL6JI&feature=youtu.be
If you have the linking cigarettes, would you not agree with me that this effect has mechanics similar to Linking Cigs. At least similar enough to be credited??
I genuinely thought that Danny did not know linking Cigs and independently came up with this effect so I suggested that Akira be credited. However Danny responded saying that he knew Linking Cigs and its mechanics were different.
Are you serious? The penetration is almost exactly on the same principle.
If I were to use "Crazy Man's handcuffs" to do a rubberband through ring, I would not call it a different effect or even my effect.
I truely Love Garcia's products and I still consider myself his fan. But Biases aside, people who know LC by Akira, what do you think of this trick?
Also here is a transcript from Danny's page showing our comments:
Ibi Mania: The linking cigarette has a similar working so I guess it should have been named/credited
The Official Daniel Garcia Fan PageL Ibi :: I am very familiar with crediting and when it is needed and appropriate. I am also very familiar with linking cigarettes and it's mechanics, which are completely different as everyone can see. Please refrain from "policing" my page with inaccurate information. Thanks.
Ibi Mania: Akira Fuji's linking cigarettes do have a similar move at penetration. Your trick does have a new angle and approach, it also is a different effect from the spectator's point of view. However, broadly speaking, the mechanics are close enough for Akira to be named/credited and that is just my opinion.
I am sorry if that displeases you but I will be alright with not commenting on the page any further. I would not have commented in the first place if I had known you were to take a suggestion so personally.
P.S. I did not know that you knew LC by Akira and genuinely believed that your effect was an independent discovery.
Looking forward to your new material.
All the best.
Ibi Mania: Just to be specific:
Holding stick/Cig between index and middlefinger, tilting the stick with both fingers to make an opening at the thumb right at the penetration.
Those are there in Akira's work as well as your above given trick.
I understand that he is a great inventor and a big name in magic, but no one is beyond crediting.
Just my opinion.
I intend no disrespect.
