AGREED!!!!!!!!! |

I don't particularly like how much is exposed on Penn and Teller's show. I like that you have to log in with a password to places like the Café'. On the other hand, I feel that if a person is interested in magic enough to pay attention to what a non-magician would feel is boring, that sort of makes them a beginning magician...which we want. I'm fooled all the time by variations on things I know. Still, I guess I think the amount out there does amount to exposing. Who wants someone yelling out the secret during a show? I always thought that DVD's of magic should have been performance only, and the explanation/teaching be in a pamphlet with the DVD. Too late now. I used to think "All those DVD's out there...don't the guy's kids show their friends when he's not home?"
I'm going on and on. I'll say this. People creating new magic should go back to the book form, or now the ebook form. Putting stuff out on video, DVD, or now as you say YouTube makes it too available. (Not a fan of the Penn and Teller show format either, as I said). |
