Ok. Lately, “Breaking the Magicians Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed” has been coming on pretty frequently, and I’ve seen a few posts about the show bashing it. I’m all for this, bash away, but I’d like to make a few points regarding the show.
First, if you don’t like the show, then DO NOT watch it. The more people watch it, the better ratings the show will get, and the more frequently it will air. So the first step to killing the show is to stop watching it. I’m not saying it will stop airing from now until the end of time, but at least it’ll get rid of it for a while.
Second, the main thing I like to remember when I see that this show is on while I’m scanning the guide on TV, is Val Valentino doesn’t reveal very many effects/illusions that people still perform today. Of course, the show does reveal the secrets to some pretty big time effects that some of us may still perform, but very little. I mean seriously, who in this forums still levitates a dump truck, then vanishes it? Didn’t think so.
Third. Some people HATE the Masked Magician for what he does, which is revealing secrets. Guys, he does this for a reason. Not to piss off other magicians around the globe, but to encourage others to get into magic. Yes, what he does is wrong in a sense, but every cloud has a silver lining.
I just thought I’d share my thoughts on the situation and let you guys take over from here.
Peace.
