Hey dude,

Your getting better with the editing! Though don't over due the angle changes - it gets a bit annoying and doesn't look good when done too much.

As of the flourishing - you had too many molecules. Repitition is only fine to a certain extent. You seemed on the right track with the cuts, but they can definitly be improved. Work on smoothness as much as you can, then speed will develope. Also, the Jackson 5 needs alot of work - keep practicing!

:)

yes, that would work, that way exposure isn't being done and people who you wish to help, can be helped.

If you want to teach magicians a colour change, get them on msn and show them on webcam, don't put the video on youtube

As for the video, not bad, just work on smoothness and don't repeat stuff so much :)

Despite what most ppl think but alot ppl that google magic tricks after seeing it somewhere or from his friends are people who have a genuine interest in magic, they just need a good push in to the right direction.

all that aside exposure is really not a big deal, magic is a performance art and not that much about the trick itself really, as long as u understand that, u get over it. Sure everyone can know the lyrics of a song but not everyone can sing like "......".

And seriously what are the odds that someone u perform to has seen the effect and know how it works on youtube beforehand? i have yet to come across any, i suppose it is more likely if u only perform recent new effects perhaps?

Hey guys

I know you all think magic expsore is a bad thing and when i started i thought i was a bad thing to but think about it in another way. A new magican wants to learn sme cool magic tricks. it is not harming anyone. I have performed the shakechange to alot of people and none of them told me (Hooo I saw the tutorial on youtube on that)

It's the priciple of the thing. I'm not worried about spectators knowing how we do the moves. I just don't like people unethically learning material that other people took time and effort to develop, and are making some (or most of) their income off of.

well that's a discussion for another thread but it's a fine line to draw.

If someone made a tutorial for DG's "torn" then yeah that would be unethical for the reasons you listed.

however some (if not most) of these color changes were invented before most of us were born! And the originators have long deceased...

for example, would it be unethical to Jeff McBride if I taught the perfect production? is it unethical for dan and dave buck to expose non-original sleights on their DVD because... the people that created the sleight aren't going to make any income off the trilogy!

I just don't see where you draw the line. Whitemagic isn't profit'ing off of it so why doesn't he leave his tutorial and hopefully get some more people interested in magic?

But in what way are they getting interested? It's a poor justification.

They find something for free, they then figure that they can learn all they want in this art for free, and that is all that they look for. Free free free, expose expose expose, steal steal steal, etc.

I'd prefer they got onto the path of supporting the creators/publishers. As it should be.

True, some moves are ok to teach, but many are not.
