On Craig Petty's Video "Penguin Magic Vs Aaron Ducker"



Craig Petty reads what Aaron Ducker wants Penguin Magic to post on the Diamond Cutter by Amanda Nepo product page (https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/17695):

"In 2014 Australian magician Aaron Ducker created a very similar effect to Diamond Cutter named Better Half. As Aaron's Better Half predates Diamond Cutter. We have been in contact with him and his producer and have gained approval to release this version independently. Aaron's version will be released through Orion Magic Productions and will contain all the nuances theory and bonus ideas he's developed over the eight years that he's been performing and evolving the effect. We highly recommend checking out the better half product when it's released from Orion Magic Productions"

I've been in contact with Penguin Magic from May 3rd when I first mentioned that we should fix this.
All we've been asking from the start was a simple line of crediting on the product page for Aaron. No royalties, no extensive thank you videos. Just a simple line of crediting.

If Craig Petty is to be believed it is not just a simple line of crediting that Aaron Ducker wants. Amanda Nepo / Penguin Magic never needed Aaron Ducker's approval for Diamond Cutter to be released. The mis-pipped card idea is not original to either party.
