As a fellow magician through all too many years, do we both know a performer's first and second rule.

1)Never revile a trick

2) Never do the same trick twice for the same audience.

I did see some of your videos many years ago and could see you have chosen to break both rules. Why? :-)

I do also think that it is therefor that the word "reviling" is most used, the act to share more knowledge of a trick than normally is shared.

If you are good and your trick is good, then can a trick maybe be done more than one time, but most often is it far better to perform a trick and then perform a new trick that looks exactly like the first, but with a new twist.

As you say, do a few get more amazed by knowing the trick, but it's a very few.

I am not mad that you showed these tricks because they do create new performers and do also force us old rats to invent new methods. :-)

What I on the other hand, hates, is performers (in particular one famous) who sees it as his job to convince people of magic being real, that he in fact is doing these things and has "trained" to be able to. I think it makes some try tings that are most likely lethal, and other to believe in scammers "magic" powers for money.

May I ask on your opinion on that? :-)
