foldemikael New user Denmark 5 Posts	Posted: Aug 7, 2009 12:39 am 0 Why do these people see it as a crusade to reveale magic??? Have just found this webside, http://www.thetrickbusters.com At least they could have used their real names. Hate people who think it's ok to revealed tricks, just because they have "figured" it out. would love to put a question to their jobs. hate web hecklers

foldemikael New user Denmark 5 Posts	Posted: Aug 9, 2009 09:57 am 0 Double standard is allways good... Haven't seen P&T lately. but I remeber sometimes where they went to Letterman to do some magic....and I was quite dissapointed. they didn't revealed anything..

Forgive me if I misunderstand his post, but...which is it? On one hand, exposure is bad, but "disappointed they didn't REVEAL anything?" I'm con-FUSED! Doug

The operative word here is entertain. Mark Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible. Frank L. Gaines

Sawing a woman in half is "off beat"? If someone has star status they get a lot of "get out of jail free" cards, no?? Exposure is OK, as long as you "entertain"?? Fiddle away, ignore the burning smell.... Also known, when doing rope magic, as "Cordini"

Not many. I agree. That's why I think we shouldn't promote these sites in any way. If a tree falls, but no one hears it... www.CelebrationsMagic.com
