Everyone,
This thread can make some good points, and I think it has value. Let's not get it closed.

However the little debate with Ineski, William, and Visual is getting a bit out of hand. Keep it a bit civil, still barely on topic.
Get off the defensive, and make some valid points
Also that figuring out a trick doesn't give you a permission to start performing that trick.
That's completely true, but unfortunately, people don't see it that way. They don't seem to make the connection that it's the same thing, only in a different situation.Well if you remember on one of my thoughts post I asked about the piracy.
How many of you how downloaded from Limewire or other sites where you pay no money for movies, music, etc. That is the same thing as figuring out magic, different context same idea.
So for those who say what scarecrow is adding and does what I listed above then stop being hypocritcal. It's just your morales that are in the way.
seriously, if i have figured out a method without buying...i would definately perform it....thats not stealing....it just you being able to know what they did...it just wasn't good enough to fool you....
so you guys are saying, if criss angel went and performed something that didn't trick you at all, and you figured out what he did, you wouldn't do it????
i might be the only one saying this, but the stuff david blaine did on his specials...i just fail to believe that you all learned those effect by buying them.....some of you did some youtube'n...some magic shops, and plain figuring out what he did....but i don't know...
i have read it and i don't agree....i literally figured out W:H's french kiss...right off the back....i was working on something similar.....it happens...i scratched my idea....and started amazing folk with houchin's effect....it was more proven....and for those who are thinking otherwise...i did buy the DVD, only to learn the match bite....i already knew the jay sankey effect, and a couple of versions of the other effects.....i was upset when the candy scam wasn't there....lol..Have you read the posts above you? IT'S STEALING!!!!! Geez...
if you saw a commercial about a magician's special....and he did something and you saw it and went like "i know that"...and you wnet out there and did it right off, thats stealing???You guys can call it whatever you want just to make your conscience feel fine, but stealing is stealing. You are still not paying for a product and using it, thus we like to call that stealing.
If I'm in a store and grab an apple and run out then eat it, what would you call that? Hmmm? Oh, let me think...stealing. Yea...it's stealing.
