Well, if you actually want to deal with facts, Lovick was NOT fired from his position. He held an interim position which the Castle EXTENDED for many months beyond his original contract.
And that year wasn't a bad year at all - in spite of the fact that you didn't "git" into the Castle.
John Lovick, unlike many magicians who have a litany of DVD's under their names, is a tremendous performer for real world audiences, has extensive experience in theater, and is an incredibly meticulous and thoughtful person. For example, he knows whose tricks he's performing and wouldn't try to pass off minor variations as his own. More importantly, he creates magic that people have a chance to care about.
Further, Lovick has the ability to recognize when a trick is an improvement, or a minor complication designed to pad a lecture. I have hired him on several occasions. He is a consummate professional and can present engaging, entertaining, and deceptive magic to intelligent, professional adults. He is a friend and respected colleague of the names you praise on the Magic-con roster - so you might want to consider what they know that you don't.

p.s. I remember a magic cafe thread where someone lamented young people lecturing and putting out dvds - and it WASN'T John Lovick. Who would that have been?????
Aww brad henderson, truth teller, your SOO cute. I jist want to put you in a bottle an carry you in my pocket. And yes grammar boy I said git. God I cant wait to meet you again, I promise it will not be like last time.
And the thread your referring to hend, was about a young man WHO CAME TO A FEW OF US PROS ( and yes brad I do create magic in real world situations, for pro. adults, that people care deeply about, have you ever seen me actually perform for REAL people no ya havn't) and asked us our opinion on what he should do, he rejected our advice and suffered the consequences, unfortunately.
So speak on what you know oh truth teller and keep your ego locked on what you do not know.
I'm glad lovick is your friend I assumed he would be. And I never said he got fired I said he lost the job how he lost it is not important jist that he did (yea I said jist).
I also have an extensive history in theater, philosophy, religion, and my dad is better than yours and lovicks combined also I am meticulous and thoughtful.
Pass off Minor variations as his own.. in case those of you who do not know what mr clean is talking about, I was accused of stealing a move from Homer liwag in Silver Dream ( which those of you who have SD know that is not the case and Homer gits full credit in that DVD). I like that he spends his time thinking on how to cryptically say things to me in a thread..aww your thinking bout me..your SOOO cute. I don't spend even half the time thinking bout you as you do about me. I feel bad now.
But wait oh TRUTH teller (god what a great name for you its like it was prophetically given to you) your forgetting one minor detail and the facts prove this. JOHN LOVICK IS A BOLD FACE LIAR and he has a BIAS when reviewing certain creators effects. Plain and simple. He lied to everyone in that review of captured and that is a fact. So by those actions alone he should not be allowed to have a job as a magic reviewer. So there is nothing that man can teach me..others without question,lovick not in a million years. Oh and I saw lovick perform a wonderful piece of magic at magic-fest...wait that wasn't his sorry wrong guy.
A change is a comin hendy, I pray your in the path when it happens.
