Your ideas, are your ideas. One can not be expected to know everything that someone else has created.<br /><br />However if you were inspired, or lead to a certain concept through another's work that is a totally different situation.Markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08575900106162266625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-23632147387477952092011-06-24T16:12:41.608-07:002011-06-24T16:12:41.608-07:00It's easy to rationalize why you think you don...It's easy to rationalize why you think you don't need to do it. But it doesn't make it right. Excuses are a dime a dozen, as the saying goes. If that's the sort of person you want to be, it's your choice, but don't ask me to condone it. Willfully ignoring our history serves nobody but yourself.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996391242723420301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-10190174370216895542011-06-23T13:36:24.952-07:002011-06-23T13:36:24.952-07:00Just to play devil's advocate. If I was workin...Just to play devil's advocate. If I was working on something specific, say something from Marlo's Revolutionary Card Technique and I happened upon something new or different, I would definitely credit it as inspiration.<br /><br />However, If I came upon something completely independently, I might not/probably wouldn't credit it.Jackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176680136753855209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-88144348585400067752011-06-22T10:31:13.528-07:002011-06-22T10:31:13.528-07:00i know what you mean. lots of times magicians come...i know what you mean. lots of times magicians come up with something and then someone comes along and says, oh thats done already, it puts lots of people down. I recently started working on a project with a gimmick that i came up with but someone else created a similar version and i received some flack from it. but it doesnt get me down. it forced me to try to evolve the idea into something new and better.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251554589815107310noreply@blogger.com
