But when I show something strong to a layperson I know chances are big they will look it up as soon as they are behind their computer! But the point is this is exposure. It is giving away secrets for free to the public.Annemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741849296947026258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-90751530485504746002012-01-30T12:24:03.618-08:002012-01-30T12:24:03.618-08:00Classic Palm, not that big a secret.

As for the other stuff if its property of another magician he shouldn't expose it.<br /><br />When it comes to youtube it is open for anyone but most people arn't sitting on there looking up magic videos, they have "better" things to do. As for crazy man's handcuffs if so many laypeople are familiar with it, its more likely that too many magicians in your area are doing it. Its like the ACR I know a girl that knows the secret to it not from the internet but because she has seen it over and over again by so many magicians. At least with an ACR there can be variety but not so with crazy man's hand cuffs, it may fool people once or twice but each time they see it they know more and more what to look for. Even if the non-magic people learned it's secrets from youtube, they didn't search for it until they saw one or more magicians do it. And if it's really impossible to do box it and add something else to you repertoire.Magnus Asbjornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399617945467186968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-74695581978850715712012-01-24T15:45:09.084-08:002012-01-24T15:45:09.084-08:00It's from his dvd but none of the moves are hi...It's from his dvd but none of the moves are his creation. Classic palm, H.P.C., the 2 ahead phase from Harris' P.D.Q. coins across. These are big secrets of coin magic. And tv or Youtube, both are for the public. They used to say the the same about the crazy man's handcuffs exposed on Youtube, that only magicians will find it. In may area so many laypeople know it it's almost impossible to do the trick.Annemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741849296947026258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-13484029480917623112012-01-24T12:48:27.577-08:002012-01-24T12:48:27.577-08:00There are two reasons I don't consider this to...There are two reasons I don't consider this to be exposure. One is its from his own DVD, second is that of the target audience. This is targeted at magicians, the number of laymen that see this will be very few. That fox show was targeted a laymen and lots of them saw it. But that fox show is also why I don't think exposure is all that harmful upfront or in the long run.Magnus Asbjornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399617945467186968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-15220375461186086702012-01-24T07:44:10.510-08:002012-01-24T07:44:10.510-08:00The difference is the sheer malevolence of exposur...The difference is the sheer malevolence of exposure by Valentino.<br /><br />And exposing ones own material is okay I think. <br /><br />But you are right too.
