So why doesn't he do a rubber band anthology? Because that would take more time and effort and it would cost more money to do so. As a result, it would cost more as a DVD. Fewer people would buy it because it's just a rehash of already marketed material and the cost of the DVD.
As a download it is quick and easy money. A lot of people will part with $7.00 and the cost of this is minimal since you don't need it on DVD or printed page - you just let them download the file.
It's not about magic or art or anything other than turning a quick buck. Bottom line.
Some of of these effects mentioned in the video are on a download from T11. I love how people take old effects and then sell them as something new with their name on it
First off, it is a TERRIBLE trick. Anyone with the tiniest bit of logic will be able to figure this out instantly. That is why Bobo thought of this as a simple puzzle, not a freakin' magic trick.
Next, the exact handling is taught on the COVER of a $3 book. You do not even have to buy the book to figure this out. (Not that you would need instructions in the first place.)
Lastly, it is clear that this is a case of name dropping. Do you really need to thank them in the description? Probably not, unless their name is more reputable than yours, according to Rick.
I would not be surprised if Rick marketed this as a DVD with props in the near future for $25. He's on that path...
I'd much rather throw my $7 away than support this.
Like his soul paper effect where he takes a "life hack" paper rocket and sells it for $10. Makes me want to go through my old boy scout handbook and see what I can market out of there.
Now you all know where the word "Laxative" comes from...
(RE: Soul Paper - completely agree with you Matthew - and what an appalling plot... does a spectator - any spectator - really want to have the name and memory of a dead friend or relative sucked up a tube into Lax's mouth and used for a corny revelation?)

ReplyDeleteRubberbands are not nice props to use.
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on about this one...
